Among the standout benefits of the Epic Games Store lies the provision of free video games. On a weekly basis, this digital platform shares top-tier previously released games among its user base at no cost. Previous recipients have enjoyed critically praised titles such as Deathloop, Two Point Hospital, and Grand Theft Auto V. This week’s offering on Epic Games Store follows the trend by providing one of 2016’s top-rated games for free.

The game in question is none other than Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, specifically the Platinum Edition. This edition encompasses the base game, six DLC packs, as well as its two expansions, Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm. Normally priced at $79.99, this week Epic Games Store (EGS) users can claim it for free, making a significant savings. To redeem the free game, EGS users merely need to visit the store page (linked here), click the “Get” button on the right side of the screen, and then locate it in their library to start downloading and playing.

The opportunity to obtain the “Civilization VI: Platinum Edition” for free on Epic Games Store won’t persist for much longer. You can secure this game until July 24 at 11 AM Eastern Time. After that point, the offer will expire and be replaced with a new free game offering.

Upon its debut in 2016, Civilization VI was warmly appreciated by critics. On Metacritic, a review aggregation platform, it earned an average score of 88 from 84 reviews, positioning it among the top 20 highest-rated games for that year, as several other games had similar averages.

As a dedicated gaming enthusiast, I’d say that Civilization, masterfully crafted by the iconic Sid Meier, is a captivating turn-based strategy game.
