After GTA V it is the turn of the Firaxis strategy game, which will be available for a full week.
GTA 5 came out free on the Epic Games Store and the store's servers went down almost instantly. Players and more players tried to download this appetizing gift, but many had to wait for things to calm down. A week later and with the services completely restored, the Rockstar Games title has given way to a new free video game. There have been no surprises, in the sense that it is the product that had been leaked, nothing more and nothing less than Civilization 6.
The Firaxis strategy game, one of the most successful contemporary strategy titles, can be downloaded completely free from today, May 21 until next Thursday, the 28th. Later, it will be the turn of the next ones on the list, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection and Ark: Survival Evolved, according to leaks. All the games you can keep permanently.

Unreal Engine 5, the other great Epic Games announcement
It's been a busy few days at Epic Games. The name of the company has not only appeared on the covers of all the specialized media for the gift of GTA V, but also for the announcement and presentation of Unreal Engine 5, the new version of its multiplatform engine. The North Americans showed a technical demo working on the PlayStation 5 hardware. Of course, the new Microsoft machine will also benefit from the news, while current systems will also be able to use it.
Phil Spencer, CEO of the Xbox division, congratulated Epic Games on its new technology. The manager hinted that several Xbox Game Studios video games would use that engine, although the message left a confusion, as Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga was interpreted to be one of those titles, something that is not confirmed. What is clear is that the next generation RPG from InXile Entertainment will use Unreal Engine 5, as revealed by the developers on social networks.
