Control is free on the Epic Games Store for a limited time

As has been the case for the past few Christmas seasons, the final weeks of the year sees the Epic Games Store give away a different title for free every 24 hours. Right now, all those with an Epic Games account can get their hands on the excellent and unique 3rd person action-adventure shooter Control.

Available to add to your library from now until 6PM UK time, Control is the latest original game to come from the much-loved Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment, known for hits such as the Alan Wake series and the original Max Payne duology.

Originally released in 2019, Control took the best elements from Remedy’s past and combined it into an action-adventure title with a unique explorable world, fun and interesting gameplay, and an impressive physics system.

While Epic is only giving away the base game, its DLC ties into Remedy's other IPs including Alan Wake. Given the recent release of Alan Wake II – and the fact that Control is set to get a sequel – those who have not tried out the game yet now have the opportunity to do so for free.

If you did want to check out Control’s DLC after-the-fact, the Season Pass can currently be had for just £3.59. As mentioned, you have less than 24 hours to claim the base game, at which point it will be replaced by another as-of-yet-unknown title.
