After this a new game will be given away for free, though it is currently a mystery.

Then all you need to do to claim your free game is to download it via the game’s page on the .

The announcement came alongside a new rewards scheme that Epic is introducing which is similar to Nintendo’s Gold Points.

For every purchase made on the store, customers will receive around 5% back to buy new games.

This even includes games on sale, meaning you will have even more money available to purchase games.

The money will be placed in a separate wallet called a Rewards Wallet that can only purchase games on the Epic Store.

However, the money in your rewards wallet can be used alongside your normal payment method, so you don’t need to save up in order to buy the latest releases.

To introduce the new scheme, Epic Games is also holding a Mega Sale event, with big discounts on a number of recently released games.

The sale will continue for a whole month, giving people plenty of time to grab huge savings.
