Epic Games is currently offering for free The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition and the 2014 remake of Thief. Until April 11th, PC gamers can visit their EGS pages and acquire their free copies.
The Outer Worlds is a first-person RPG from Obsidian. Its Spacer’s Choice Edition features the base game and all DLCs. Private Division released the Spacer’s Choice Edition in March 2023, and at launch, that version had major performance issues. Not only that but the game suffered from both shader and traversal stutters.
For what it’s worth, Private Division did release some patches to improve performance. However, I haven’t really tested that version. But hey, you can now get it for free so you can see for yourselves whether or not it runs and looks better than its original version.
On the other hand, EIDOS Montreal reimagined the classic Thief game. Contrary to its take on the Deus Ex franchise, though, the Thief remake wasn’t that successful. The game had some performance issues at launch, and its enemy AI was not that great. Personally, I never really bothered with it. Something didn’t click with me when I tried it back in 2014.
Anyway, you can acquire your free copies from here and here.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
