If you’re a gamer — or just visit the Cheapskate occasionally — you probably know that Epic Games gives away at least one free game each Thursday. As 2020 draws to a close, it’s worth remembering all the A-list games we’ve managed to scoop up this year thanks to Epic: GTA V, Civilization VI, Hitman, Elite Dangerous and Watch Dogs 2, just to name a few. This week, Epic has two games on the free pile, for a total of $90 worth of RPG adventure gaming goodness.
Intrigued? You’ve got until the morning of Dec. 17 to claim these games for free. If you’re new to Epic’s weekly giveaway, here’s how it works: If you don’t already have one, sign up for your free Epic account. Then just get your free game, yours to keep forever. You don’t even need to install it right away if you don’t want to.
