The PC version has also improved over time, with updates adding better performance and support for features like DLSS, XeSS, and FSR.
The game is available to claim till May 3. Epic usually refreshes its free games weekly, so this offer will be replaced once the deadline passes.

There is no payment required during checkout. Once done, the game will be added to your library.

For players, it basically means you can add these games to your library without spending anything.
