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.
Shows $23.99 for me.

Strongly advise you go into their desktop launcher and see what's in your library.
Good call. The game wasn't showing up in the library until the Epic Game launcher was restarted. Must have been in a bad state.

I've heard this game is really long and slow. Is that not true or is the story really good? I liked MGS4 on the PS3…

PSA: If you missed the glitch for the Director's Cut version, you can upgrade your free vanilla copy to DC for $6 during the sale (ends 1/5/23).

When I looped around to check the sale this afternoon, the base game was showing as Unavailable. Look around and saw tweets saying they were giving the DC, but obviously Epic was trying to unfornicate the mess the Christmas intern made.

I've been playing the Game Pass version and I'm lukewarm on it. Didn't they fix up some QoL issues with the DC to make it less grindy and more fun?

I'd like to get both versions, if possible... the Director's Cut (to play on PC) and the Standard Edition (to play via GeForce NOW).

Does anyone know if I can pay the $6 to upgrade my free Standard Edition to the Director's Cut, and then 'loop back around' and pick up the Standard Edition for free again?

Anyone know if you get the standard version free from Epic, would buying the Director's Cut upgrade on Steam allow me to play it on there? Or would I have to buy the standard on Steam for that to work.

Weird, I try to get it and it gives me this message: "Your account is unable to download any more free games at this time, please wait 24 hours before trying to redeem a free game again."

Epic Store and Steam are totally separate. Considering they are competitors, don't see why they would work together to make games bought from one store work on the other.

You need to buy the DLC on Epic - see below.
If you want the Steam version you'll have to buy the base game on Steam as well.

You should have both versions available for download on the same account. You could get a backup copy on an alt account if I'm mistaken, but both are visible on my acct.
