Most likely due to the recent announcement that Death Stranding Director’s Cut would be free on Epic Game Store as part of their free games Christmas promotion, the storefront is experiencing some heavy traffic. Users attempting to redeem the freebie are being met with page freezes and slow loading, while those yet to log into the store are having issues logging in.
These issues go beyond the storefront, too, as players trying to play some Fortnite are also reporting login and disconnect issues. Hopefully, Epic Game can resolve the problems fast, though it shouldn’t come as much of a shocker given that it is Christmas day and Epic Game offers such a free high-profile game.
We’ll be sure to monitor the issue, and should any updates be issued by Epic Games, we’ll keep you posted. For now, hold tight!
