The next Epic Freebie- Death Stranding. This has been listed on the EGS today specifically for this freebie.
For those interested, credit to "Megumin" on discord for unearthing this image and matching today's hint to the original and not the directors cut (Epic will most likely make their money from upgrades to DC)
Its available for 24hrs. Better off trying during the day when the rest of the world isnt overloading the servers.
Beggars/choosers etc etc
Apparently it's the director's cut.
Not sure if it was an error on Epics part but the DC edition was available for a short time. Apparently some people claimed it successfully.
Yep, seems like an error that they fixed after a few mins. I was able to sneak in early enough and claim DC ;)
lucky c@stard
i have a death stranding content on the side of the game itself, this is not the DC edition right?
yeah luckily i do overnight browsing i got 2 version the dc and the normal version lol
Well played fellas, I have to settle for the base game.
Just claimed the base game through the website.
When you claim the game you will get 2 entries in your Epic Games library. Death Stranding and Death Stranding Content (2 Add-Ons).
From what I can tell the extra content is a folder for the artbook (pdf file with largely pre-production art) and the soundtrack (39 mp3 files, 320 kbps), which are the 2 Add-ons.
Death Stranding from what I can see is just the base game. Not the director's cut or option to upgrade to the director's cut.
Death Standing Director's Cut on PC includes High Frame Rate, Photo Mode and Ultra-Wide Monitor Support. Also includes cross-over content from Valve Corporation’s Half-Life series and CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. Stay connected with players around the globe with the Social Strand System™
dc upgrade option is selling at $8.99
worth upgrading?
I didn't see the DC add-on for this game at first. As it isn't listed as an option for the base game. It's actually listed as an add-on for the DC a separate entry for the game valued at $35.99 for the full DC and $8.99 for the update add-on.
Epic will most likely make their money from upgrades to DC
right… like i’m ever going to give my payment details to egl
They dont need your payment details, the billion dollars a year they make off everybody else seems to be enough.
well, fortnite $ from kids alone is enough.
Shame as I have already bought this game via Epic
Getting a error code "MD-0011: No valid manifest file to download" to install 3 add-on
What a wild ride, somehow I managed to get both versions of the game.
Getting this message all day, "Sorry, you already own this item, or it's still being processed."
No confirmation email from Epic as yet.
Be sure to check your account (transactions) via browser (https://www.epicgames.com/account/transactions) just in case the email system is slow or bugged. I had a bug where the store page refused to accept my library had claimed it, even though it was there in the library and I had a receipt. Hours later it's only just corrected itself.
Other than that, keep trying because the servers are likely still under heavy load.
Thanks @Bravado transations page notes it was 'purchased'. So I'm guessing the system is just slow.
Can you see the game in your Epic library ready to download?
I've got the transaction record that it was purchased, but can't find it in the library. Wondering whether I need to contact Epic or wait it out?
@green_banana: Hi @green_banana yes, following he post above I found it in the library and it was ready for download.
@green_banana: You might need to restart the client (logout, close the client, open the client & login) or something to update your library (sometimes the client gets out of sync with your recent "purchases"). If you have the transaction receipt, then you should be OK - just be sure you keep a copy for evidence (keep your email) so if you have to contact support about it you'll have proof of purchase on your end.
If the receipt can be found here https://www.epicgames.com/account/transactions and you didn't receive the email, you should be able to have it resent by clicking the email link next to the entry.
I paid 8.99 for the DC. it totally worth it if you have a PS5 controller (bought for $66 from JB with a Perk voucher). Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are natively supported. It felt like a different game.
Who needs a PS5.
Just in case you could not find the link:

Hilarious to fall on my ass while delivering packages but the game looks amazing on 4k120.
LMAO the only game I was looking forward to getting and I missed it, of well time to dust off the ol torrent… at least ill get the whole shabang for free…. sigh
Question - is it any different for paying 8.89 for the DC if you already PS+ subscription and the DC is included on the PS5?
Obviously different mediums and all.
As far as i can tell from reading up on it- no. Controller and all features still work on PC.
I would recommend doing your own due dilligence though.
I have the highest tier PSplus anyways. Downloaded today on the PS5, prefer to play it on the CX than my 1440P monitor.

What a freebie - stuck on the loading screen when you press "GET" - EPIC servers getting hit hard.
