Limited-time free games are everywhere. But life gets busy. Sometimes it\u2019s hard to grab a deal right when it drops. Many of the best PC free games are only free for a few days. Both Steam and Epic Games Store give players free games. Epic Games Store is the more reliable option. Every week, players get two new free games. You have 24 hours to claim them before they disappear.<\/p>\n
\n
Epic Games Store gives free games on a strict schedule. Every Thursday at 10 am CT, a new pair of games is available. Steam also offers free games, but its schedule is random. You never know when a free game will appear or leave. Epic\u2019s weekly giveaways may not always be AAA titles, but they are worth grabbing. This week, cyberpunk, noir, and detective game fans have something special to claim.<\/p>\n
\n
On February 12, Epic made Nobody Wants to Die<\/em> and The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark<\/em> free. They will expire at 10 am CT on February 19. Nobody Wants to Die<\/em> is a cyberpunk noir adventure set in 2329 New York. You play Detective James Karra tracking a serial killer. The game features body-swapping, crime scene investigations, and dark city secrets. The Darkside Detective<\/em> is a lighter, humorous point-and-click game. Players take on paranormal cases in the town of Twin Lakes with Detective Francis McQueen and Officer Dooley.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t claimed these games yet, act fast. Both are available on Epic Games Store. New free games will arrive on February 19, including Return to Ash<\/em> and the STALCRAFT: X Starter Edition<\/em>. Return to Ash<\/em> is a visual novel about choices and afterlife consequences. STALCRAFT: X<\/em> is an MMOFPS set in Chernobyl. Epic gives a starter pack with weapons and gear to new players.<\/p>\n The key takeaway is to grab this week\u2019s free games while you can. Epic Games Store is consistent. Even if next week\u2019s free games don\u2019t appeal to you, there will always be new ones. At least one free game usually speaks to every type of player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Limited-time free games are everywhere. But life gets busy.
