Death Stranding Free on Epic Game Store; Crashes Store

As a huge Christmas surprise, Epic Games have dropped Death Stranding on the Epic Game Store for free! You didn’t read that wrong; you can claim one of Hideo Kojima’s best games completely free!

As part of the 15 days of free games for Christmas promotion on the Epic Game Store, Kojima Productions, 505 Games, and Epic Games have teamed up, giving gamers 24 hours to claim Death Stranding Director’s Cut! All you have to do is visit the official Death Stranding store page and redeem.

Pretty easy, though that’s assuming you can log in as the Epic Game store is experiencing issues. In the meantime, we recommend waiting it out, probably a few hours, for things to settle.
