Epic Games Store is giving away free FPS game and bonus DLC

The Epic Games Store is offering another free game this week as part of its weekly giveaways, but in addition to the one free game up for grabs, there's also some bonus DLC on the table. Even better for those who would rather try out various offerings from the Epic Games Store is the fact that this week's free DLC is completely unrelated to the free game, so you don't have to invest all your time in one game. And in the case of the free game being given away this week, that's probably for the best.

The game in question, which is currently available for free on the Epic Games Store, is Deceive Inc., a multiplayer game where the name of the game is a devious deception. It's a spy game through and through, coupled with a first-person shooter setup where you have to disguise yourself as innocent NPCs and other characters while using tools and gadgets to complete your mission while battling other spies with their own plan.

On the one hand, the game has just received a fairly significant update with the release of the Scoundrels & Sentinels update, which was released at the end of October. That brought with it new content that was more fantasy-like than spy-ish, so it wasn't a bad time to jump into it Deceive Inc. at all.

The problem with this game being free, however, is that it currently has hardly any players – at least not if we go by Steam numbers. Deceive Inc. has crossplay, so those playing through the Epic Games Store and Steam are treated the same, but on Steam there are currently just 50 active players in the game, with a 24-hour high of just 83.

Deceive Inc. Aside from that, the other giveaway from the Epic Games Store this week is DLC for Apex Legends. Similar to the past Apex Legends In packages tied to specific characters, Epic Games is giving away the Legend Ash and her Burning Chrome skin. Given the how Apex Legends Accounts support cross-progression. If you redeem the Ash Pack through the Epic Games Store and have all your accounts connected, you will also receive it for free on other platforms.
