You can get Dying Light: Enhanced Edition for free this weekend

The Epic Games Store is celebrating Easter weekend with some free games. From now until Thursday, April 13, players can get Dying Light: Enhanced Edition for free on PC.

Dying Light is a 2015 first-person survival game that has players killing zombies and parkouring around a city. The Enhanced Edition features extra content, including its 2016 expansion Dying Light: The Following. It’s a well-timed freebie considering that it was developed by Dead Island developer Techland, and a sequel to that game launches in just a few weeks (though it’s being handled by Dambuster Studios).

Usually, the action game retails for $30 on the Epic Games Store, but players can currently claim it for free. To do so, simply open the Epic Games Store client and scroll down to see a row of free games. Click on Dying Light: Enhanced Edition and click “get” to add it to your account.

You’ll have until 11 a.m. ET on Thursday, April 13 to claim it, so don’t sleep on it.

The Epic Games Store has a few more freebies in store for April as well. You can also grab Shapez right now, a 2022 puzzle game that has players building a minimalist factory out of shapes. That $10 game is free until April 13 as well.

Looking ahead, two multiplayer games will be available for free once those deals expire. The first is Morhau, a medieval slasher that features up to 80-player battles. The other is Second Extinction, a co-op dinosaur shooter that currently costs $25. Both will be free starting on April 13 until April 20.

Once you’re done with Dying Light: Enhanced Edition, check out our review of its 2022 sequel, which we praised for its parkour exploration but weren’t as high on its overly talkative NPCs.

3 free video games you should play this weekend (May 10-12)

Whenever we recommend games at Digital Trends, we tend to go heavy on titles available on subscription services like Xbox Game Pass. Rather than telling our readers to buy new games, we always try to find ones that might be on services they're already paying for. Still, that doesn't cover every player. There are plenty of more casual gaming fans who aren't subscribed to any service that offers extra games. We don't want to leave them out, do we?

If you're in that category, or you're simply strapped for cash, we've got some recommendations for some free games you can try this weekend. I don't mean "free with a subscription" either. I'm talking about games that will cost you nothing to start, even if you decide you want to spend money on them later. From a mobile game I can't get enough of to a a popular MMO that just made all of its DLC free, these are three free games you can dive into this weekend.

Fallout 4 is finally getting free Xbox Series X and PS5 upgrades
New Fallout 4 Creation Club mod content coming with the Xbox Series X and PS5 launch.

Bethesda has confirmed that the current-gen update for Fallout 4 will finally release on April 25.

That's good timing, as a Fallout TV show just released on Amazon Prime this month to positive buzz. Fallout 4 came out for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One in 2015, and this definitely looks like it will be the most substantial update the game has received since its last expansion was released.

You can try No Man’s Sky for free this weekend

Hello Games released the Omega update for No Man's Sky today and is making the sci-fi game free-to-play temporarily to celebrate.

The main draw of the Omega update is that it incorporates cooperative expeditions into the main game experience rather than relegating them to a side mode. The Omega expedition was added to the game today, and tasks players with exploring and charting every inch of the planet Nafut Gamma. Completing this expedition will reward players with a limited-edition helmet and staff Multi-Tool, and players can carry over any resources gained during it. While this change is the biggest addition of the Omega update, it's far from the only notable change.
