Today began Christmas in the Epic Games virtual store , and to celebrate it, the company has begun to publish numerous offers to invite all users to receive great discounts when purchasing new high-caliber games. However, do not forget that it also gives away a free game.
Cities: Skylines free forever
The first game of the 15 that Epic Games will offer in its store during the next 15 days will be Cities: Skylines . This real-time strategy game will allow you to give life to authentic cities in which you will have to coordinate its demographic growth without losing control of transport, traffic and the different neighborhoods that will flourish as your city grows.
One of the most striking elements of Cities: Skylines is that it has quite interesting plugins, which will serve to bring snow to the city, historical monuments and even decorative elements of modern Japanese architecture. One of the best strategy games you can play right now with a good blanket between your legs (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, of course).
Minimum requirements
In order to play Cities: Skylines you must have a team with the following minimum requirements:
- Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7/8 / 8.1 (64 bit)
- Processor: 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or 3.2 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+
- Memory: 4 GB
- Storage: 4 GB
- DirectX: Version 9.0c
- Graphics card : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 512 MB or ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB (not compatible with integrated Intel graphics cards)
Many more offers
If you’ve already included Cities: Skylines in your personal Epic Games Store library but are wanting something else, you can always take advantage of the many discounts already available in the store. For example, you can get the brand new Assassin’s Creed Valhalla with a 20% discount, or the great Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 (of which we loved getting the Secret Alien ) with a 25% discount.
Another great recent launch, Watch Dogs: Legion , also receives a generous offer of no less than 33% off, coming in at an interesting 40 euros. But wait, are you in the mood for lightsaber duels and Imperial squad battles? Well, Star Wars Squadrons and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order are 40% and 60% off respectively. Does anyone give more?
What will be the next free game?
As we knew, free games will appear every 24 hours, so until tomorrow we will not know what title is hidden behind the image with Christmas motifs that is hanging in the official store. Any bets?
A first rumor claimed that the games that would arrive at the store would be real bombshells, but something told us that the list was too good to be true. Now that we know the first game and after not seeing it published in that list, we are very afraid that the thing could remain in a couple of great gifts. Too pretty to be true! We’ll see if they hit one of them.
