At the moment, the complimentary games available through the Epic Games Store are the “Castlevania Anniversary Collection,” which includes eight titles, and also “Snakebird Complete.” On Steam, users can grab “Half-Life 2” for free at present. For those on GOG, they can secure “Diggles: The Myth of Fenris.” PC gamers need to act quickly to snag these free games, as the offer is only available for a limited time. So, if you’re interested, make sure to claim them without delay!
