Tomorrow's game is something with dinosaurs? Second Extinction, maybe?

Yes. It's already revealed in this site: a french site. He reveals all of it day by day.

 

[The_Mike]

Yes. It's already revealed in this site: a french site. He reveals all of it day by day.

Not everyone can understand French.

Besides that, finally a game that seems interesting to me.

 

[BlackM1st]

They must have given Remant away for free before because I already had it in my library. I just add these games and never play them.

Same. Same with PS+ lol At least PS+ gave me FF7r 4 free. Other than that... Yeah, I ain't playing any of those free games...

 

[ChoosableOne]

Not everyone can understand French.

It's true, i don't understand too. There is a list down there, you don't need french to understand it. Plus google translate does wonders. Welcome to future.

 

[GHG]

Yes. It's already revealed in this site: a french site. He reveals all of it day by day.

So Second Extinction tomorrow?

 

[ChoosableOne]

So Second Extinction tomorrow?

According to him, yes.

 

[Lognor]

Same. Same with PS+ lol At least PS+ gave me FF7r 4 free. Other than that... Yeah, I ain't playing any of those free games...

I take that back. The one game I have played is Nioh. I would have never tried it otherwise, but I had heard good things AND it was free so I gave it a shot. And you know what? It's decent. In fact, it's very good as a free game.

 

[daywarf]

The only difference is the client… games play same as they would on Steam lol.

the client/store isn't as good as Steam but it aint terrible. It has improved a lot since it first came out and it keeps getting updates. People like to hate on Epic (I was one of them…) but Epic is Steams closest competitor right now. It's the second best store/client on PC (imo).

Epic is my most used client these days. I have 7 games installed on Epic and 2 on Steam. If people want to stick with Steam then fine but I wish people would stop hating and at least try Epic. If you hate it at least you have tried it unlike most people it seems. I love Steam but competition is good and it's weird to be a loyalist fanboy of a company.

I think so too. It's weird to be a anti fan of Epic because you're used to steam. But I hadn't used it since I had heard that its servers were unstable and that there were problems with archiving. I don't know if I still have those problems, but I already have a lot of games on it , so I thought I'd give them a try this Christmas

 

[daywarf]

I never had any issues. But everything I play is singleplayer regardless of platform.

That's good enough for me, I don't play online games, the only thing I worry about is losing my save

People are mad about the exclusive part. PC never had that much exclusive on 3rd party games. Epic introduced them to big games.

 

[Vagswarm]

You should be fine. I've played several singleplayer games on there and had no problems. All it does is run in the background like Steam would.

 

[kingfey]

My games from epic is 136 now. I bought around 10-20 games. the rest is free.
My total ownership on all platform is 607 games. (epic/steam/playstation/xbox) + 483 from subscription (ps+,gamepass).
I havent bought any games lately.

Found a leak that seems like it's getting more and more credible by the day:

• Shenmue 3
• Neon Abyss
• Remnant: From the Ashes
• The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
• Loop Hero
• Second Extinction
• Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden
• Vampyr
• Pathfinder: Kingmaker
• Prey
• (followed by 5 days of games which are new to EGS and are not yet in their database)

 

[T-Cake]

Prey would be nice. I could never get the gamepad working to my satisfaction on the Steam version.

Can you share the source please? "Prey" fits the French site's description("free game on 25 december will be the best one").

edit: I found it. But it shows Humankind as next game. reddit

Humankind or Second Extinction as they are in question mark! As SEX (Second EXtinction) was revealed a few hours ago maybe Humankind is not going to be appear.

 

[vpance]

Humankind would be kind of crazy. But not surprising since the game is still broken in a lot of ways.

 

[purvispisgah]

Pathfinder Kingmaker would be awesome. Realistically, I won't make time to play it, but one can dream...

 

[Kenpachii]

Is it me or do there free games not show up on the main page anymore?

 

[knguyen]

No, it's not you, didn't show for me, either.

Dutch people are cheap enough as it is.
Prolly banned from participating

 

[Timberwolf25]

It's showing again now

 

[Sleepwalker]

I'll play vampyr. will claim everything but not too interested in anything else so far

 

[jshackles]

Looks like my list from above is right on track. Cool cool cool.

Sucks that today's game is a repeat though

 

[vpance]

Mutant Year Zero free today, always wanted to try this one. Guess I missed it the first time around

Right leak finally.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Hopefully its not Prey as I already have it on Steam. Between repeats and bad games its been pretty dissapointing. But can't really complain since its free. I was looking forward to something like Dying Light being given away.

Also Vampyr is pretty much unplayable on PC. Always crashes at startup, tried Steam Version, Gamepass, and seven seas edition. All of them crash at the start screen. Hopefully the epic version does not have those issues.

For someone reason I thought this was going to be Bio Mutant. Talk about disappointment his morning.

 

[manfestival]

Mutant year zero is a good game. Definitely enjoyed my time with it outside of the story being incomplete.

 

[JayK47]

Some great free games during the winter sale. So many great free games, why bother paying for something on Steam or elsewhere?

 

[ACESHIGH]

Epic giveaways have been pretty lackluster these holidays. Lots of repeats and now a game that just does not run on PC (Vampyr) that thing keeps on crashing at startup every single time.

 

[JayK47]

I played Vampyr on PC GamePass years ago. Might be a compatibility issue. Lately, PC games tend to run well for me. Many years ago, it was typical to spend hours and maybe days getting a game to work on PC. Messing with drivers, configuration files, changing settings, etc.

 

[jshackles]

They actually went and did it, Prey is free today.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

that's their strategy. honestly i hardly use steam much now. i have more games installed on Epic than Steam and with all these free games there's plenty more I still have to get through.

it's all about tempting people to use Epic and getting them to stay.

 

[jshackles]

Apparently, this version of Prey is the GOTY edition that includes the Mooncrash DLC. Nice, since I already have this game on PS4 as well as Game Pass, but never picked that up.

 

[Sleepwalker]

What's the leak for tomorrow? I'll claim prey but it's not my kind of game tbh

Word on the street is that it's a repeat: Control.

The hand on the wrapping paper kinda lines up with the cover image too.

Dang already have it and also have the ultimate edition from Ps plus... Rip

I'd take the DLC on pc I guess but it'll probably be just the base.

In other words:

 

[Bonfires Down]

Slightly bizarre that Microsoft is not putting anything on EGS, meanwhile Bethesta games are given away on there. But I'm not complaining.

Was thinking the same thing but these deals have probably been inked for months now. Probably another commitment Bethesda made before they were bought.

Interesting how she's depicted in a more "traditionally attractive" way relative to her in game model. That's marketing for ya.

That's the word on the street. Also tracks with the "last few games will be new to the Epic Games Store" hint from earlier. The only game currently there is Rise.

 

[adamsapple]

• The Tomb Raider Trilogy

Yo that's gonna be huge if true.

Hell, I'll also settle for the Underworld-era trilogy.

 

[T-Cake]

Ooh, I hope it's the Tomb Raider Definitive Survival trilogy.

 

[Patrick S.]

The latest gift paper does have that fork thinky the character in Mages of Mystralia holds in his hand.
