PSA: Epic Games Store Users Have Less Than 24 Hours to Claim 2 Games Completely Free of Charge

by

It’s easy to find temporary offers for free or inexpensive games, but it can be tricky to grab them right away. Many of the best free PC games are only available for a short time, usually just a few days. Both Steam and the Epic Games Store give away free games, but the Epic Games Store does it more regularly. Epic Games Store users generally have a full 24 hours to claim the newest pair of free games.

The Epic Games Store is predictable when it comes to free games, offering a new selection every Thursday at 10 am Central Time. Steam’s free games appear and disappear on varying schedules. While free doesn’t always mean great, the current games available on the Epic Games Store are a good choice for players who enjoy cyberpunk, noir, or detective stories.

From February 12th to February 19th, the Epic Games Store offered Nobody Wants to Die and The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark as free games. However, this offer ends at 10 am Central Time on Thursday, February 19th – that’s in just 24 hours! While The Darkside Detective might not appeal to everyone, Nobody Wants to Die is a highly recommended cyberpunk game.

EGS Free Games List Until February 19

  • Nobody Wants to Die (Expires February 19)
  • The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark (Expires February 19)

In the cyberpunk noir adventure game Nobody Wants to Die, you play as detective James Karra in a futuristic New York City (2329). He’s hunting a serial killer in a world where people can back up their minds and swap bodies, leading him to uncover secrets within the city’s powerful elite. The game focuses on investigation, using high-tech tools to analyze crime scenes. Meanwhile, The Darkside Detective offers a lighter, comedic experience. As Detective Francis McQueen and his partner Officer Dooley, you solve paranormal mysteries in the haunted town of Twin Lakes, tackling a series of separate, supernatural cases.

There’s at least one free game on the Epic Games Store worth grabbing right now, so if you haven’t claimed yours yet, it’s best to do it soon! You can find both games on the Epic Games Store. While new free games will be added on February 19th, these upcoming titles might not appeal to as many players as the current offerings.

New Epic Games Store Freebies Coming on February 19

  • Return to Ash (Free from February 19 to February 26)
  • STALCRAFT: X Starter Edition (Free from February 19 to February 26)

Next week, the Epic Games Store is offering a couple of freebies. One is a starter pack for Stalcraft: X, an open-world FPS set in Chernobyl – though it’s worth noting that Stalcraft: X is already a free-to-play game. The pack will give new players a helpful boost with some starting weapons and gear. The other free item is a full game, Return to Ash, a visual novel focused on choices, relationships, and their impact on the afterlife, which may not appeal to everyone.

Players should claim the current free games on the Epic Games Store quickly, particularly if the next set doesn’t interest them. The good thing about Epic’s giveaways is that they happen regularly. If you’re not excited about the games offered on February 19th, new ones will be announced tomorrow and available to download on February 26th. There’s usually something for everyone among the free selections.
