Get Overcooked For Free At The Epic Games Store--Another Mystery Freebie Coming Later This Week
The Epic Games Store gives away free PC games every week; this week you can grab the frantic co-op game Overcooked.

Next week's free game at Epic
Epic typically reveals what PC users have to look forward to next week when a new freebie goes live. Once again, that isn't true this week due to the ongoing Mega Sale.

A leaked list had turned out to be accurate until this week--Ark: Survival Evolved was rumored to be this week's free game--so all bets are off for next week's free game. We'll just have to wait for it to unlock.
