An issue with the Epic Games Store has caused some players to be unable to taking advantage of today's free games. The current glitch in the store has left some players frustrated while trying to access and download the free deals.
During this month, the Epic Games Store has surprised players with several opportunities to download free games as a way to give back to the gaming community leading up to the holidays. However, some of the store's users have been running into a few problems when trying to download today's free games. Reddit users have taken to the platform's r/EpicGamesPC page to voice their frustrations about the glitch.
When attempting to download the free titles Epic Games is offering, the games appear to be marked unavailable in the store. Also, for the players who have been able to download these free titles, the games haven't been showing up in their libraries. With the Epic Games Store having a history of gifting players free games, it is without a doubt frustrating to not be able to take advantage of such a great deal. The games included in today's free deal are Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.
Several commenters on the Reddit posts have been speculating that due to such high traffic on the store's site, the Epic Games Store cannot support the influx of gamers coming in to snatch some great free game deals. If high site traffic is what's causing this problem on the site then it wouldn't be the first time a free game offer has crashed the Epic Games Store. Just last year the Epic Games Store crashed during a free offering of Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Some of the comments on these Reddit posts have been suggesting to refresh the Epic Game Store page until the game is finally shown as available.
With the holidays coming up in just a few days, being able to download multiple games for free is great for many players who will have the opportunity and time to play over holiday breaks. However, possible site crashes like this can really spoil some of the excitement for gamers when trying to snag free games. Free game downloads are a hard deal to beat, so it wouldn't really be a shock if the excitement of the deals caused a small site crash. Whatever the exact cause of the issue is, hopefully it will be resolved soon so gamers can benefit from the bargain.
