Who says new Thursday, says new free game on the Epic Games Store. This week, users will be able to get their hands on a slightly bigger title than usual.
It's a little ritual well anchored in the habits of PC gamers. Every Thursday there is a free game. The Epic Game Store will continue its distribution of weekly gifts this year despite the current context of the industry. The American publisher generally draws on the independent scene. He takes advantage of his aura to highlight productions little known to the general public, but not only that. It happens that some which have had a little success on their scale are offered from time to time. This will be a bit the case with the Epic Games Store free game of the week.

A new free Epic Games Store game
Each new week has its own free game(s). So you still have a few hours left to get your hands on the latest titles on offer and it would be a shame to miss out. Headlining, the very good visual novel Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, accompanied by a more unknown beat'em all: Lost Castel. This Thursday, February 15 at 5 p.m. sharp, they will be replaced by a new gift: Dakar Desert Rally. An open-world game from Saber Interactive in which you can travel across vast sandy expanses and take part in a whole host of iconic Dakar events.
This new free Epic Games Store game offers many licensed vehicles from the world's largest manufacturers. These range from cars to motorcycles, quad bikes, buggies and even trucks, all of which allow you to tame these open wildernesses. The program includes a multiplayer and solo mode, more than 30 special stages taken from official courses, teams and drivers also under license, as well as seasons and dynamic weather that await you. On paper, this fairly ambitious game for its category had everything to please, especially since it was sold as “the greatest rally game ever developed”. The feedback is ultimately quite average, even if the players who have tried it recognize its great qualities, particularly in terms of driving sensations or its map is gigantic which makes it an absolutely enormous title.
What will be the next free game?
Dakar Desert Rally can therefore be collected for free on the Epic Games Store from February 15 to 22, 2024, still at 5 p.m. French time. After this period, it will become chargeable again and will be replaced by another gift. Which ? We will have to wait until the fateful hour to find out, although… Lately the identity of the next titles offered tends to be revealed before the time. Will that be the case again this week? Response during the day.
