EPIC Games Store to Offer 15 Free Game Starting December 17th; Tyranny, Pillars of Eternity Free Now

The EPIC Games Store is planning on being your faithful companion throughout this Christmas season with a number of free games to tide you over. This isn't just a generous move from EPIC Games' heart; customers who enter the storefront to redeem a free game are more likely to purchase other entries than customers who don't even make it through the (metaphorical) entrance. The company will thusly offer 15 free games, one game per day, starting on December 17th. Customers will only have 24 hours to take advantage of the free game offer before it expires. There is no information on which games will actually be free, but the EPIC Games Store has already offered an insanely good amount of, well, insanely good games, so chances are high we're getting something worthwhile. And that is a bonus to the usual game discounts.

In the meantime, two of the aforementioned worthwhile games are now available through to December 17th, where the EPIC Christmas season begins proper. The company is now offering Obsidian Entertainment's Tyranny - Gold Edition - a story-driven RPG where you're destined to become the tirant, not bring him down. This doesn't even qualify as a try to hook gamers into buying available DLC and expansions for the game, as the Gold Edition already offers all additional content that was released to this - in this editor's opinion - excellent game. Not to be content, EPIC is also offering Pillars of Eternity Definitive Edition. You know, another game developed by Obsidian Entertainment, which also merrily includes all additional released content for the game. Say what you will about EPIC - their games store throws us gamers some definite delights.

These free games are really nice as my GTX 1060 can’t touch some of the new AAA titles. I spent lot of time on GTA V and Just Cause 4 but somehow missed out on Watch Dogs 2 when they had it for free

Wanted to post it in the free games section but decided to check if it's been covered by anyone on TPU before. Thanks for the heads up.

We be better off if we can migrate to GOG, then you are free to do what you want with the game.

Forget about Steam install GOG Galaxy and link all of your accounts. That program is so powerful (intrusive?) it has every single one of my achievements from every service and a synopsis for every single Game in my library including review score for most. The Games launch like butter too. In terms of the thread all I have to do with new builds is install Epic and the customer has a nice base to start with.

FrickI'd rather people posted about deals here. The free games thread was originally about freeware games, not deals where the price was zero for a short while. As it is now the free games thread might as well be removed because people post free deals there and not in the deals thread.
if the thread titles were more clear, things might happen as you actually want them to. :p
