Star Wars Battlefront 2: Celebration Edition is free on the Epic Store

After a rough start, Star Wars Battlefront 2 grew into 'the best Star Wars game we've had in years.'

Pretty great freebie this week from Epic! Think it will be showing up on Xbox Game Pass soon too.

90GB download though, ouch.

Some nice additions to the Xbox Game Pass recently, if anyone has it - Control and Desperadoes III are on there now, as well as Edith Finch.

Galactic Civilisations 3 is free on epic at the moment, it's a pretty decent space based 4X game, worth grabbing if that's your kind of thing.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Two on Epic this week - Metro Last Light Redux (pretty decent FPS survival-horror) and For The King (which they've had before).

 

[Steel Icarus]

Rage 2 next week. Looking forward to that

Assassin's Creed Chronicles China is free on Ubisoft at the moment - like a mini/mobile version of AC.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Sunless Sea is Epic's freebie this week. One of my favourite games - it's a slow, cautious exploration game with gothic horror stories that unfold as you discover new ports.

Xbox Game Pass aims for sports fans with NBA 2K21, Madden NFL 21, NHL 21, and more

Star Wars: Squadrons is also arriving on Xbox Game Pass soon.

Bit of a disappointing eventual semi-launch for EA Play stuff on Xbox Game Pass. I thought we were going to get everything, but only Football Manager and NBA have been announced so far, and we don't even get Madden NFL on PC. I was looking forward to playing FIFA.

Don;t think they've ever put FIFA et al on it on day 0. People are dumb enough to pay £50 for it so why would they,

To reach a stagnating audience and hook them into a micro transaction hellscape?
Admittedly they are doing quite well at making people pay £50 to play their money burner.

No, but I thought we might get FIFA 19 or 20.

Damn forgot to pickup, never mind.

Wargame: Red Dragon replaces it and the series is probably my favourite ever RTS

That's just on the actual Xbox, they're not part of the PC Game Pass unfortunately.

Surviving Mars is free until tomorrow at the Epic Games store.

Anyone played it? I didn't even realise it was by Paradox until I went to 'buy' it on Epic - does it play at all like their other games?

It's more akin to Skylines than grand strategy, I think they may have just published it rather than made it.

(Yet to play it mind)
