In an effort to get more people to download and use the Epic Games Launcher, Epic Games releases free games on the launcher on a regular basis. There are now two more free games available for those with the Epic Games Store to claim and download today, with even more free games coming later in April 2020.
Right now, Epic Games Store users can claim Close to the Sun and Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments. Both games will be available for free until April 16 at 10:00am CT, at which point those interested will need to pay cash for them.
For the uninitiated, Close to the Sun is a first-person horror game with aesthetics similar to the BioShock franchise. Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments, meanwhile, is one of the installments in Frogwares' Sherlock Holmes mystery adventure series. Neither game managed to light the world on fire exactly, but those that use the Epic Games Store may still want to check them out. At the very least, they can claim them to grow their library of Epic Games Store games.
Meanwhile, Epic Games has confirmed two more games that will be made available for free later in April. From April 16 to April 23, users will be able to add Just Cause 4 to their collection, along with Wheels of Aurelia, so April is definitely turning out to be a solid month for Epic Games Store users.
