Next Xmas freebie from Epic games. As usual, available from 2am AEST.

Sorry folks, not civilisations 6. Looks like Epic have done a switcheroo.

Have reported other post to be removed.

    Thanks for the walkman, Ahti.

    I turned to steam and bought civilization 6.
    95% off, bargain.

      I went to go do that, turns out I already own the Platinum Edition.

        This is too relatable lol

    • King Steuart on 26/12/2024 - 07:29

      This is the way

    • jjcf on 26/12/2024 - 09:23

      Less than a coffee, for a game where even a single playthrough would put the price at cents per hour. Imagine whinging lol.

    • boretentsu on 27/12/2024 - 20:53

      I mentally bookmarked to get this. I didn't commit the game name, just the fact that I should return to download a "good game". When I came back, I couldn't find it and kept searching until I read the comments here.

    at this point i am just buying free alternate copies of my steam library

  • Mr Bob Dobalina on 26/12/2024 - 05:05

    Isn't the fact that Civ 6 is on sale for 95% off an indicator that it wasn't going to be a freebie?

      Civilizations 6 Platinum Edition is full price in Epic now…stay tuned

      what happened to civilization 6 Platinum Edition freebie on epic games?

  • Dinjay on 26/12/2024 - 06:32

    Repeat from 2021

    • DarthStingy on 26/12/2024 - 10:29

      Yep, and I still haven't played it since then…

        Wait… people play games?
        I was just hoarding these hoping to one day swap them over for eneloops somehow 😄

    That's very uncivilized of Epic.

  • levqchi on 26/12/2024 - 07:31

    That's very disappointing

      Over a freebie? 🤷‍♂️

      • levqchi on 26/12/2024 - 07:57

        Disappointment comes because I was told something different and thus expected something different. If I were not told about civ 6, I would not be disappointed at all.

        It's a repeat freebie though

          • Abaddon on 26/12/2024 - 22:38

            @hollykryten: I already have this on EPIC and didnt purchase it. Definitely a repeat… and a disappointment.

    Logged in for the Civilization 6 freebie…. disappointed!

    I'm glad it's boxing day in Australia and not Christmas day as it is in the US and Europe. Of all the days to post a repeat!

  • darkly on 26/12/2024 - 08:36

    Its dissappointing with all the build up to a Christmas giveway, only for it to be a game they gave away twice before.

    Interestingly though, it is DRM free as it can be run directly from the executable.

      So you have more Control?

    Good game. It’s an Alan-Wake esque take on the SCP Foundation.

    I saw this and thought "awesome! I've been meaning to play Control for ages. I'll grab this! " Then realized it has been sitting in my purchased games list for 2 years already. Am now likely not to play it

    This is an amazing game. Turn your whinge off and get your game on

  • danwylie on 26/12/2024 - 09:50

    Fun game, great world building. If you like reading memos it might be the best game ever

    If you use the cream patcher you can unlock all the DLC for free too

    • FujinShu on 26/12/2024 - 13:02

      Where?

      • Jezzabell on 27/12/2024 - 19:25

        Google for it, it unlocks all DLC from epic and steam games that is locked in the game but none that needs downloading

        • FujinShu on 27/12/2024 - 20:18

          Cream API has been taken down

    Logged in disappointed to see the Civ VI freebie didn't eventuate…..jumped onto Steam and somehow I already own Civ VI Platinum 😂

  • Splurge on 26/12/2024 - 10:28

    Epicfail. Would have preferred Civ6 rather than a recycled freebie :(

    • jasswolf on 26/12/2024 - 13:40

      Technically Civ 6 was a recycled freebie, as the base game was given away on Epic in 2020.

        Surprised Pikachu

        Thanks for the correction :)

  • cevad on 26/12/2024 - 10:50

    My Epic launcher is showing another free game unlocking in 16 hours - maybe that will be Civ VI Platinum?

      Dealbot doesnt know, his source (Billbil-Kun on X and MeguminShiro on Reddit) has got it wrong and the leak plugged for now.

    Such a great game.

    went to add and it was already in library: 27/12/2021
    need to get around to playing the back catalogue!

    • Lord Ra on 26/12/2024 - 12:50

      Same! 😅

  • Agret on 26/12/2024 - 13:03

    Just a heads up that this is the normal edition and not the Ultimate Edition.

    I'm not sure if they have patched it or not but previously the normal edition was abandoned on an earlier version of the game and all the fixes and improvements from that point were only applied to the ultimate edition.

    If you start playing it and enjoy it I'd recommended stopping and finding the ultimate edition on sale then playing that one.

    Buying the DLCs or the season pass onto the standard edition doesn't upgrade you to the ultimate edition either.

  • vanyellow on 26/12/2024 - 16:29

    great, iv been wanting to play this for a little bit
    but cbf buying it when i knew it has been a freebie instead.

    purchased mouthwashing to play, looking forward to that too!

  • kungfuman on 26/12/2024 - 18:01

    Must have been offered free before I have it in my library already

  • BusMan247 on 26/12/2024 - 18:38

    Control was free on PS5 for early adopters. I never would have bought it, but it was really good.
