Epic Games Store, which was launched at the end of 2018 to “compete Steam” and has steadily gained users over the years with at least 1 free game every week, is a platform that people mostly visit from Thursday to Thursday, instead of competing with Steam as imagined. it happened.
However, despite this, Epic Games did not give up on this decision and continued to give AAA productions as well as small and independent productions. In fact, sometimes even Epic Games’ servers crashed when games such as GTA V and Death Stranding were given too much.
Epic Games’ next game was Epistory?
Last week, it was revealed that Epic Games will give the game called Epistory after 3 free games. However, Twitter user Billbil-kun, who is especially famous for leaking upcoming PlayStation Plus games, excited Epic Games users with his claim today. Among the API data of Epic Games, the famous analyst surprisingly claimed that on January 19, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition will be given for free, and the next week the game will be sold with a 50% discount “for those who missed it”. Although he does not often share about Epic Games, he is seen as a correct source by many players because all his shares are correct.
Now, when we open the Epic Games Store and look at it, we see that the game that will be released on January 19 is Epistory. So how is it that Billy is so sure that GTA Trilogy will be given for free? Actually, the answer is quite simple, Billy states that this data is taken directly from the official API of the Epic Games Store. In addition, Epic Games gave “secret gift” games many times, especially in 2022. These hidden games were not officially announced or included in the free games list and only appeared when they were given for free.
GTA Trilogy, which was heavily criticized in its first release, was so unsuccessful that the game was removed from the PC platform and Rockstar officials had to apologize about the game. Although a few updates were released for the games later, GTA Trilogy did not reach even half of the expected sales and took its place among the biggest disappointments in history.
