Dead Island 2 new screenshots-2

Dead Island 2 is free to own this week on Epic Games Store


Dead Island 2 is a game I really enjoyed on PC in 2023. So, today, I’m happy to report that it is free to own on Epic Games Store. Until May 22nd, PC gamers can visit its EGS page and acquire their free copy. So, if you haven’t played it, I highly recommend getting it.

Dead Island 2 is one of the few games that had amazing pre-baked lighting. As such, the game performed incredibly well on PC. Not only that, but it looked amazing. In fact, it was one of the games we featured in our Top 10 Best PC Graphics of 2023 list.

The game did not suffer from any mouse issues, it has proper on-screen K&M indicators, and I did not experience any crashes. For those wondering, yes. It does have some traversal stutters, though they weren’t that frequent.

Strangely enough, the game did not get official support for NVIDIA DLSS. It did support AMD FSR, but we all know that DLSS is better than FSR. Thankfully, though, there is a mod that replaces FSR with DLSS. This is also a free mod, something that will please a lot of you. So, make sure to get it from here.

From what I know, Dead Island 2 was a commercial hit. The game sold one million copies in its first three days. Then, in May 2023, Deep Silver revealed that it had sold over 2 million copies. So, hopefully we’ll get a third game in the series. As of right now, though, Deep Silver hasn’t announced anything about Dead Island 3.

You can acquire your free copy of Dead Island 2 from this link.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
