After that, the next free title will be Oxenfree, which will be offered from March 21 through April 4.
#Subnautica free epic for free
The time period for a free copy Subnautica has unfortunately ended, but players taking to the Epic Games Store are still able to download Slime Rancher for free from now through tomorrow, March 21. It could be that some players prefer the clean, crisp interface of the Epic Games Store or launcher, but it's equally possible that players have chosen to spend their money on a platform which gives a greater cut to game developers. The issue that some people have with Subnautica in VR is that the game can be rather intense for those who aren’t used to VR games. It gives you almost complete freedom to explore the beautiful and intimidating world of planet 4546B. The team announced that Metro: Exodus from developer Deep Silver managed to sell over twice as many copies on Epic's storefront when compared to Metro: Last Light sales on Steam for a similar time period. As an open world exploration game, Subnautica is great for VR play. The Epic Games Store even seems to be drawing in paying crowds. As free games go, it's a rather big one, and quite a stark contrast to Super Meat Boy, which was the freebie release for the two weeks prior to the Subnautica giveaway.

Subnautica in particular was a very attractive offer to players, as it's such a fun experience that it managed to earn the Shacknews Best PC Game of 2018 award.

It's no surprise to hear that people want free games, of course. It's apparently proven to be quite popular, as the company has just revealed at GDC 2019 that two of the Epic Games Store's freely offered games - Subnautica and Slime Rancher - each individually managed to reach over 4.5 million free downloads. Loads of online storefronts have freebies, and other platforms have subscription services which "give" away games in set intervals, but Epic actually gives away games for free. One of the big things that the Epic Games Store gets right is giving away free games.
