The first of the free game giveaways during Epic’s 2022 ‘Mega’ sale has landed, with three more to follow in coming weeks.
Epic Games Store has kicked off its ‘Mega sale’ for 2022, promising a new free game every week for four weeks alongside discounts across the storefront. The first of these freebies is Gearbox’s hugely successful loot shooter Borderlands 3 and it’s available until May 26. To score yourself a copy of this triple-A title, you’ll need to have an Epic Games account and, using the store’s desktop client, ‘purchase’ the game (for $0/£0) in order to add it to your account. Now, it’s yours to keep! As the primary competitor to Steam’s online computer gaming storefront, Epic Games Store came onto the scene in late 2018 and made a name for itself with its frequent free giveaways – something it intends to continue throughout 2022. In many cases, these free giveaways have been far from been obscure or small titles, with major games like Prey, Control and Total War: Warhammer being among them, as well as popular indie titles like Celeste, Hyper Light Drifter, Limbo and Super Meat Boy.
