The Epic Games Store is currently giving away Death Stranding completely free of charge. The Epic Games Store gives away free games on a weekly basis, but it's rare for the games to ever be as high profile as Death Stranding.
Typically, the Epic Games Store free games are lower-profile releases. Oftentimes they are indie games or fairly old titles. However, there are times when the Epic Games Store shakes things up and gives away bigger games. The bigger Epic Games Store free games are often given away as part of mystery game promotions, and that's exactly the case with the new Death Stranding freebie that users can claim right now.
From now until next Thursday, May 25 at 10:00am CT, Epic Games Store users can claim Death Stranding completely free of charge. However, it's possible some Epic Games Store users may already have Death Stranding as part of their digital library. After all, Death Stranding was given away for free this past December as part of the storefront's last mystery game promotion. Even so, this is a great opportunity for Epic Games Store users who missed out on it the first time around to snag Death Stranding for their collection.

- Death Stranding (May 18 - May 25)
Death Stranding was divisive when it first released in 2019, earning mixed reviews from fans and critics alike.

The PC version of Death Stranding include helpful in-game items that can enhance one's experience, improved performance, photo mode, and Half-Life content. Yes, even though this is the Epic Games Store version of Death Stranding, players can still get content based on Valve's flagship gaming franchise.
Since the Epic Games Store already gave away Death Stranding for free, some users may be underwhelmed about the start of the latest Epic Games Store mystery games promotion. Those that missed out will be excited of course, and regardless, it sets the bar high for the other mystery games. While Death Stranding was fairly divisive when it first launched, there's no denying that it's a big budget, AAA game release that's rare to see given away for free through the Epic Games Store.
Oftentimes the Epic Games Store mystery games leak online ahead of their official reveals, but that has yet to happen with the latest batch. Epic Games Store users will have to wait until May 25 to find out what the next free game is, but Death Stranding should keep them plenty busy in the meantime.
