Yeah something is going on. I got the same thing but then I noticed that in task manager epicweb helper or something was still running and using like 10-15% cpu usage even though I end task epic games.

On my phone browser I am getting an error as well.

 

[Solarstrike]

Getting a blocked error also. Then, you can't even close the tab you have to cont, alt, delete the Epic Store process in background processes for it to close. Thanks Tim

GabeN post Christmas plan to disrupt competitors is now in effect.

 

[Calverz]

Yep i get blocked also

 

[Laptop1991]

I'm blocked as well, a lot on Reddit are having the same issue

 

[Heisenberg007]

Same. Can't claim it due to an error.

Never happened before, but glad to know I'm not the only one facing the issue.

 

[ultrazilla]

I'm

blocked.

Servers getting hammered?

Bro I spit my coffee out

 

[VolticArchangel]

Guys it went through for me just now. Probably servers getting hammered. Check again.

Hot Wheels Unleashed

 

[Gamezone]

Are you really planning play it?

 

[Kenpachii]

Errors for me as well will try in the morning tomorrow.

Wait, you can play these trading cards? I’m confused but I think I got a whole deck.

Hot Wheels Unleashed

Can confirm, seems fine now.

 

[Kenpachii]

[John Bilbo]

I got blocked the first time I tried. Restarted the application and I got the game.

 

[kevboard]

it works now for me. just claimed it

 

[ultrazilla]

Are you really planning play it?

It's a highly under-rated game IMO. Very fun. If anyone is a fan of arcade like racers, give this one a home in your library.

Hotwheels are serious server busyness.

 

[manfestival]

This is one of the few ones I actually wanted to claim and that server nonsense was super annoying earlier too

 

[SF Kosmo]

Good game.

Thank You, Email receipt has been sent. Yep, it worked.
Kill Knight Looks like a twin stick shooter game.

Just now played till I died. It is indeed a Twin Stick, with a Gears of War style actrive reload. I'm ranked position 41808.
The level changes as you play. Not a bad freebee.

Yeah I will actually give this one a shot, have a soft spot for twin stick shooters. To the epic games client heroic launcher.

 

[VolticArchangel]

What is today's game? Any hints from the leaker?

 

[Antwix]

Orcs Must Die 3 is today's free game. Another repeat but a decent game.

[BlackTron]

I wonder what the final "big" Guardians of the Galaxy-grade game it will be...

 

[Magister]

Pissed off dudebros on reddit are pissed because they aren't getting AAA games. Meanwhile, I sit in a corner and laugh because they are giving out indie bangers (Vampire survivors, Dredge, Wizard of Legend, Ghostrunner 2). I can't wait to play some of them on my old shitty gaming laptop or when I finally get a Steam Deck.

Missed the best one so far. God damn.

You telling me I can get free epilepsy with my free game too???

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Nice! Redacted!!! I had this on my wishlist. Same universe and dev as the Callisto Protocol. Might be the first EGS game I really play. Time to fire up heroic on steam deck.

[jshackles]

Awesome, had my eye on [Redacted] anyway and will definitely play it for free.

 

[kevboard]

oh a rogue-li...

 

[GymWolf]

tommib was fanboying for this one...let's see if it's any good.

 

[Antwix]

Never heard of this game but I'm always down for a decent roguelike. But holy shit. Why is this company putting huge text boxes in front of the gameplay in the trailer? Who thought that was a good idea?

 

[analog_future]

Wait, [REDACTED] takes place in the same world as Callisto Protocol?


Guess I'll give it a shot.

Oh, hell yeah! I had this on my wishlist since tommib (RIP) made a thread about it.

 

[touchfuzzy]

I've grabbed like 4-5 indie games for my Steam Deck that I'll likely never play. But it's nice to have if I ever get laid off or something and need some new games to play but can't spend any money.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Lol..what would Epic do if they didn't have a seemingly endless supply of Indie 'Rogue Like' games to giveaway.
