Dunno if it's true or just a hopeful wish.

That's very wishful thinking. There are a few in there I could see being released for free, maybe even multiple in one promotion alongside some indies, but the whole lot? Nah.

After CDPR went nuclear over a $10 coupon devaluing The Witcher 3, they're not gonna suddenly give it away for free.

Horizon has a sales tail to sell to before Sony even consider giving that one away.

Some of the publishers of the above listed games aren't even on EGS yet, like Konami, Bethesda and Capcom as far as I'm aware.

Ubisoft is running their own freebie promotion on Uplay, so any big guns will be saved for that. They're not going to let Epic undermine their own store promotion.

And the list is completely omitting publishers who have form for jumping on board with Epic's freebies. Plus it is also lacking games in PC-specific genres that Epic has targeted before, like 4X and RTS.

In short, someone just picked a bunch of popular AAA games of the last 7 years (because their imagination doesn't go much further than that) and shat this list out.

 

[Wok]

You're telling me that a game that lowered it's price one cent so the coupon wouldn't apply is gonna be given away for free ? (the witcher 3)

I agree. The sole presence of TW3 on this list discredits the whole list. It is a list only based on wishful thinking.

Where does this come from lmao

Not saying it isn't true but zero indie presence makes it veeery weird for me

First place I saw it was some random facebook post. Now its spreading on a ton of public discord servers with absolutely no basis or proof.

 

[Shahem]

That list is way too amazing to be true.

The image suggests is from Discord but idk, let it spread I guess, people are setting themselves up for disappointment.

If it's true I'm glad to take my words back tho, I'll be really surprised.

32/12 - Cyberpunk 2077

 

[NarohDethan]

Dunno if it's true or just a hopeful wish.

Half of those games arent even available on the EGS lol

 

[ScreamingTrees]

Dunno if it's true or just a hopeful wish.

The only one I can see from that being true is Hitman 2 as they already gave away 1, and 3 is coming out soon. The rest, can't imagine it.

I always claim the free games through Epic but I don't think I've ever played one of them.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

32/12 - Cyberpunk 2077

33/12 - Halo Infinite
34/12 - Gran Turismo 7

 

[Wok]

If you want list that has any chance of being real:

What about Sonic Mania?

Also, is the order chronological? As in Jurassic Park before Conan?

 

[yuraya]

Dunno if it's true or just a hopeful wish.

lol I will actually give Sweeney credit if he pulled that off.

There is enough content across those games for all the EGS freebie dwellers to not buy another game anywhere for the next 5 years.

But yea Horizon and Witcher 3 kind of make it a bs dreamlist. I think CDPR would want people buying and playing CB2077 on EGS right now so that one makes no sense at all.

 

[Cordelia]

That list has spread everywhere that even my normie chat groups posted it lol.

Good. Now people will be disappointed if they see what Epic is actually giving away

 

[taril360dz]

I might have found some evidence for certain games from that list ( HZD and the Bethesda games )

Its a picture taken from one of the current Sony Employee's LinkedIn. This probably could be their new PC strategy thing as the HZD PC bit is written right next after it.

This is from the sony venture thread, from the tweet we know that Sony and Epic have some kind of partnership regarding HZD.

There is also this in the epic database concerning Bethesda games

That list is fake.

 

[Joe Spangle]

Should have Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 on it.

 

[lashman]

That list is fake.

 

[Phoenix RISING]

Dunno if it's true or just a hopeful wish.

Horizon Zero Down sounds like the $0.99 store version of an otherwise excellent game

 

[Alextended]

Nice that the list got traction even if it was so obviously fake, now anything they do will be lackluster in comparison xD

Doesn’t Monhun even use Steam infrastructure for its MP? Lol.

Don't think so.

Even if this was true, it wouldn't be the first game switching to Epic's online services when releasing on EGS.

 

[beep boop]

Don't think so.

It integrates Steam groups and stuff, which is why I thought so. But maybe not!

Cohhcarnage supposedly gave out a hint that there were some games as big as Pillars of Eternity that would be given out.

Literally why. It doesnt even have overlay integration. Its just the exact same as regular spotify but now with an extra client on top. Exciting!

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Yes, they are. It's probably that.

One of the giveaways will probably be an X-Months of Spotify Premium for free.

Why?

I don't get this.

Why should I go through EGS to launch Spotify?

The $10 coupon is back and it actually works on Cyberpunk. I wonder if Epic made a deal with them.

 

[Wok]

 

[Cordelia]

I already saw people looking for their Dying Light.

 

[Xclash]

More likely CDPR got a bunch of fires to put out and haven't noticed yet.

:happy_tim:

Wait for it. Cyberpunk will be removed from the store.

 

[Kyougar]

No surprise that cities skylines is a free game on EGS. Paradox gives away base games of their DLC heavy franchises often. The question is: are the DLC on EGS?

 

[Arsene]

What is the point of the rip off Fortnite mode if it was coming to EGS anyway?

Probably will be given for free.

Disco Elysium. Such a great game, I know people who just will not buy no matter how much I try convince. Will be my told you so if they can experience it.

I personally want pathfinder.

 

[Wok]

FYI

 

[Deku]

Limitless does not mean limitless, the game must cost more than 15 dollars to be eligible to use the coupon

 

[Nabs]

I guess Griftlands ends up being $5.99 if you use the coupon. Do they still provide Steam keys?

I was going to see if I could buy it with the coupon, but the price in SEK is lower than the minimum price

 

[sk2k]

The Pathless. No discount. Lame.

 

[Ge0force]

Incredible, even recent games like Airborne Kingdom and Immortals: Fenyx Rysing are discounted, and even ridiculous cheap if you add a coupon. It seems Epic is doing everything to inflate sales during the holidays. This will probably prevent many recent games to flop on EGS.
