The Epic Games Store has now started giving away another free game, but only for a short time. Somehow, a now infamous Redditor got his hands on details about next week's giveaway, the accuracy of which the storefront has now confirmed.

Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery is now free to add to your Epic Games library as part of this week's giveaway. For context, the new game will remain discounted to $0.00 until 15:59 UTC on January 30, after which it will return to its $12.99 MSRP.

The Epic Games Store has now revealed its plans for next week ahead of schedule. Incidentally, Redditor u/MeguminShiro once again got ahead of the storefront by leaking details of January 30's giveaway ahead of schedule. As u/MeguminShiro correctly predicted, the storefront's final free game in January will be Undying, a zombie survival game set around a mother teaching her son how to survive a zombie apocalypse before succumbing to a bite herself.

Please note that Epic Games' giveaway is exclusive to Windows and not the version for the Nintendo Switch (curr. $279.99 on Amazon) that debuted last year. Also, Undying requires at least an Intel Core i3-3220 processor, 4 GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 GPU to run at minimum graphics settings. Alternatively, Vanimals recommends using newer hardware to play the game, such as a Core i5-4590 or an AMD FX-8350 and a GeForce GTX 960. Undying's official launch trailer can be found below.
