This week, the Epic Game Store is offering Control, one of the top video games of 2019, completely free for PC—and it’s not the only title available.
In Control, you step into the shoes of Jesse Faden, a member of a clandestine government agency dedicated to investigating paranormal phenomena and artifacts. The game combines supernatural elements with action-adventure gameplay, set in a sprawling, shape-shifting government facility. As you gain new abilities and weapons, you unlock fresh paths, blending the intrigue of The X-Files with the exploration of Metroid Prime and the narrative depth of Half-Life.
For a limited time, Control is available for free on the Epic Games Launcher until 11 a.m. ET on June 17. Keep in mind, this is the original 2019 version, not the 2020 complete edition, so additional DLC content will need to be purchased separately if you want the full experience.
How to Get Control for Free from the Epic Games Store
Navigate to the Control section in the Epic Games Launcher or access its product page via the “Store” tab. Alternatively, you can download it directly from the Epic Games Store website.
Select “Get,” and follow the prompts to complete the process.
Once the game is in your library, it’s yours to keep permanently.
