The Free Time Limited Games List

[Sarafan]

And we have ourselves a little scandal. At first the Director's Cut edition was available for free, but after some time it was changed to the base edition: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/death-stranding. It's still a great deal, but it leaves a bad taste. I wonder what will they do with people who managed to grab the DC edition.

I only managed to claim the base game, but thanks for the heads up.

I haven't claimed any version yet. I was on mobile when posting the info and planning to claim the game when I'm on PC. Now I regret doing so. I guess I'll wait until tomorrow and give them more time to think which version they want to give for free.

It’s a game that intrigues me but I’ve never wanted to risk purchasing. I’m also regretting leaving it half an hour before claiming but tbh I’m happy with the base game too.

You can buy the upgrade to DC edition for some small amount of money (it's less than $6 in my country): https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/death-stranding-directors-cut--upgrade?lang=en-US. But I advice to wait. I think that there are some small chances that they'll upgrade the base edition for everyone. Epic's sale ends on 5th January, so there's still plenty of time to grab the upgrade.

I went there and grabbed base game before I came here.

upgrade … less than $6 in my country

Same in USA, $5.99

Anyone got a link to what's extra in the DC? I looked in 3 diff places without becoming any the wiser.

This is from the Steam store page. Not sure why higher frame rate is paywalled

Not sure why higher frame rate is paywalled

Thanks for that. Yeah, the wording is unclear.

♣ The frame rate etc stuff is designated under "includes"

♦ Whereas art, backpack patches etc are under "additionally include".

So my guess is ♣ stuff is in the base game, while ♦ bits are only in the DC.

But they shouldn't make us guess—a simple "Extra in DC" section would do nicely.

In DC there are also new side quests and better explanation of the story. Apart from that there are new character moves during cargo transportation and fights.

I heard that Amazon Prime has Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons right now, along with a lot of other stuff, if you don't already have it. Brothers requires a controller, but it is an awesome game.
