Epic Games users can grab a free FPS to keep – but only for a limited time

EPIC Games Store has a promotion that gives away a new game every week.

So far we’ve had Death Stranding, a critically acclaimed open-world game from Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, and Fallout: New Vegas.

All games given away are free for users of the Epic Games Store to download.

Usually costing £15.49, Midnight Ghost Hunt will be available for free to anyone who wants to download it, and keep it for good.

Midnight Ghost Hunt comes from Vaulted Sky Games and Coffee Stain, publisher of Valheim, Deep Rock Galactic and Satisfactory.

This is an early access FPS that hopes to bring some spooky fun to the genre.

It will be free via the Epic Games Store until Thursday, June 8, 2023, at 4pm UK time.

After this a new game will be given away for free, though it is currently a mystery.

In order to download and play your free games, you’ll need to download the Epic Games Launcher to your PC.

Then all you need to do to claim your free game is to download it via the game’s page on the Epic website.

The announcement came alongside a new rewards scheme that Epic is introducing, which is similar to Nintendo’s Gold Points.

For every purchase made on the store, customers will receive around 5% back to buy new games.

This even includes games on sale, meaning you will have even more money available to purchase games.

The money will be placed in a separate wallet called a Rewards Wallet that can only purchase games on the Epic Store.

However, the money in your rewards wallet can be used alongside your normal payment method, so you don’t need to save up in order to buy the latest releases.

To introduce the new scheme, Epic Games is also holding a Mega Sale event, with big discounts on a number of recently released games.

The sale will continue for a whole month, giving people plenty of time to grab huge savings.
