Epic Games Store has already announced the next free game heading to the store and it is a doozie. Prey, the underappreciated 2017 FPS from Arkane Studios (Deathloop, Dishonored) will be available for purchase at no cost on the Store.
Prey is one of the best games of the last decade but often flows under the radar for many players. The game is an excellent first-person shooter with a number of innovative mechanics and presentation tricks.
