Best giveaway so far from Epic! I knew they would save the best ones later.
This is the Director's Edition, which is much better than the regular version available on the Xbox Game Pass. I'm glad I waited until now to play this game as I didn't want to play the original version.

Quote from ImaPuppy :
From a reddit thread about DC vs Original: "They did not change any of the core gameplay from the original. They added in new tools, which you can ignore. But fundamentally it is the same game with some bonus stuff at a higher resolution and solid frame rate."

I feel like the kind of people who are getting this for free aren't really going to care about DC vs. Original and are going to be super happy to play either.
Copy and paste from steam's page about the Director's cut:
Quote :
DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT on PC includes HIGH FRAME RATE, PHOTO MODE and ULTRA-WIDE MONITOR SUPPORT.
Pretty critical for me to have ultra-wide monitor support since I have an ultra-wide monitor. It also doesn't hurt to be able to play in high frame rate? I didn't realize they capped frame rates in base games? lol, wtf is that.

This link worked for me. I'm in another country, was getting host error, used Chrome Incognito, used VPN USA and was able to claim it. Hope it helps others.

Shows correct version now and finally got it. Maybe they should disable the bandwidth hogging auto-playing trailer.
Also, the link on this SD post is wrong. Just google "Epic Games free game" to find it.

Looks like they may have made a mistake, it was not supposed to be the Director's Cut version. Now the standard version is the one that is free...

Serious reading comprehension problems here. It shows free at final checkout, if you can get there, NOT the cart.
Final checkout is not free for Director's Cut anymore. See attachment

Worked great, thanks!

BTW, I'll be naming my first born "spawntech" in your honor. She is 17 now but will just have to deal with the name change.

Yeah, after refreshing for the last 1.5 hours, I was able to get regular version, but not the Director's Cut (which is not free anymore). Frown

Pretty sure they intended to give the standard edition so that they can upsell for $6 but put the full version by mistake. Those who got in first were lucky...
And it is only $6. Just got the standard, np, after getting Cloudflared on director's cut this morning.

But $6 for the same thing ain't horrible.

I finally got through and purchased it for free and received the email. Though the launcher isn't listing any games in my library, I don't even see the ones I already downloaded.
