Hot when making Night in the Woods free for a single day, the Epic Games Store unveiled its next title, which can be downloaded on PC right now. Today’s offer is one that survival fans will want to look at specifically, assuming they don’t have the game yet.
Stranded Deep is the latest free title today in the Epic Games Store and will be available to add to your own library for free until tomorrow, December 29, at 11 am EDT. The game shows players taking control of a plane crash survivor who is trapped in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. You will have to create items, upgrade your character and fight animals to ensure your survival. Basically, it’s like Castaway The video game.
We would never leave you stranded … but we will give you Stranded Deep for free today.
Claim this open world survival game before December 29 (11:00 am East). Come back tomorrow to unwrap your next gift, there are still a few more! https://t.co/zYSpOx5QtZ pic.twitter.com/x4H5QTxUup

The only thing about Stranded Deep compared to some previous games that the Epic Games Store has offered, it is still in early access. Despite being available for the first time in 2015, Stranded Deep has not yet reached its 1.0 iteration yet. Although a formal launch took place on consoles in early 2020, this PC version is still being worked on in real time. This means that if you play now, you can help provide feedback to developers on what to improve in the future.
While Stranded Deep is the latest game that the Epic Games Store is distributing for free, it will not be the last. This daily promotion continues until December 31, which means that there are three more titles to be distributed. If you’re curious about what those other three games will end up being, you should check out this leak from last week that apparently revealed the full list of free titles in advance.
Of course, we will continue to update you on all the happenings with the Epic Game Store as time goes on. If you want to continue to follow our showcase coverage, you can do it right here.
