Death Stranding is Free on Epic Games Store for the Next 24 Hours

Death Stranding is now available to all Epic Games Store members with no price tags attached.

I'm not big on the game. Tried getting into it after getting it for cheap when Redbox was stopping handling games a few years back.
But a free game is a free game. Gives me a reason to give it another shot at some point.

[SonyStyled]

It’s been on PC game pass if you have ultimate

[MadLad]

Honestly, I hadn't noticed. Thanks for the tip. I'll still grab it through Epic, being I know it will eventually be taken off.

Not sure why I missed that one.

[spoonard]

This is actually free though, i'm not renting it monthly.

[lelo2play]

Free is still too expensive for this game.

[GoodGuy09]

And I just bought the game a month ago too lol.

[masterfox]

wow that's actually a very nice offering , just added to my game library, thanks for the heads up of this article and thanks Epic as well :D

[blackblades]

Go to CAG or SD they'll let you know of all the free games. My epic store has a really full library with there free games. Just need a steam deck to play them.

[Double_O_Revan]

Same. Thanks to all their free games offerings, I have more game in my Epic library than Steam.

[crazyCoconuts]

I thought for sure the gravy train would have been over by now for free epic games. Can't believe it's still going and they're still giving away great games!

[MadLad]

It's really the only thing bringing eyes to the storefront, outside of Fortnite.

[porkChop]

Weird. It was the Director's Cut at first, then they changed it to the standard edition. Still it's cool for anyone who hasn't played it before.

[ocelot07]

Have they changed to the standard now? I claimed it about 4 hours ago and it was the director cut.

[lonewolf10]

Claimed mine an hour ago and it's standard, can upgrade to DC for £5 ish, so not bad.

[porkChop]

I tried to get the Director's Cut but the site was crashing. I went back a couple hours later and it was already changed.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I remember claiming it as the Director's Cut as well, but when I looked at my library it's the regular version even though I claimed it minutes after it went live, weird. I have the Director's Cut version on Steam anyway.

[ocelot07]

I have two death strandings on my epic list. Standard edition and then next to it is add ons.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

@ocelot07,
Is the add ons the definitive edition parts? Because I have that in my Epic list too.

[OMGitzThatGuy]

Just paid $22 for directors cut 2 weeks ago smh, hope cuts version is worth it.

[Espangerish]

Yet I’ll still pay for the steam version. Im aware that’s crazy but I just want all my games in one place. It doesnt really make sense but much of what people do doesn’t I guess.

Keen to try this one day though. Want to experience the weirdness I’ve read about.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

But you could claim it through Epic, install it, and then add it to your Steam Library, I do it all the time, especially with GOG, since sometimes the GOG version of games is better than the Steam version.

[babadivad]

Welp, I'm about to make an Epic account...

[XxINFERNUSxX]

Already got it free by other means, installed played and uninstalled did not like it at all.

[vTuro24]

Is this US only? Still shows a price tag for me.

[Workshyskiver]

Worked for me in the UK

[vTuro24]

Yeah it worked for me too. The link kept taking me to the Director's Cut edition. I then realised that it's the base game that's free lol.

[Orchard]

Grabbed this. Already got it on PS4/5 but it never hurts to have a PC copy.

Thanks Epic / KJP / 505 games.

[SegaSaturn669]

Crashes if you scroll around the map on steam deck, fixed if you're on preview firmware version apparently.

[dumahim]

Does this just not have much for graphic settings? I'm surprised it's running so well on my pretty old setup.

[Father__Merrin]

Thanks epic, steam never do give aways like this.

[Crazyglues]

Why is it not free on PSN... that would be an Awesome Free Plus game.... ??? -Would be an Amazing Christmas gift.

[Bladesfist]

Because Epic paid them a bunch of money to get PC gamers to use the Epic store, don't need to do that on console as you kind of have to use their store.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

It's free on PS Plus Extra, if you have that.
