The Epic Games Store has returned with a new free game giveaway that can be played with keyboard and mouse or controllers. As per recent freebies, today's game will only be around for a day, after which Epic will replace it with another title.
However, you may find that today's free game is already in your library. That is because Epic Games gave away The Callisto Protocol less than 18 months ago. Nonetheless, today's giveaway provides an opportunity to play the action horror for free if you missed last August's deal.
It is also worth noting that Epic Games' claim of today's giveaway being worth $59.99 is somewhat misleading. As of December 24, both Epic Games and Steam charge that price for The Callisto Protocol in the US. However, the latter frequently offers the game on sale for as low as $8.99.
Setting that aside, The Callisto Protocol continues to receive underwhelming reviews from critics and fans. For instance, the game maintains a 67/100 average on OpenCritic and 68/100 on Metacritic. Likewise, The Callisto Protocol retains a Mixed rating on Steam.
Today's giveaway will be available to claim until 16:00 UTC on December 15. Please note that Striking Distance Studios and Krafton Inc recommend running the game with at least an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or an Intel Core i7-8700, 16 GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 1070 or a Radeon RX 5700. Please see Epic Games' store listing for more details.
