Sid Meier’s Civilization VI – FREE for a limited time!

As part of Epic’s plan to drive more players to its platform Epic gives away a game for free every week, occasionally Epic Games will give away multiple games but not every week. This weeks game being given away for free was last week kept a secret as a ‘Mystery Game’. Now Epic has revealed that this weeks game is none other than Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI will be free to add to your library until the 28th of May so make sure to grab it while you can! Last week you may recall we highlighted a potential leak for the upcoming ‘Mystery Games’. It seems with the announcement of Civilization VI that the source is so far correct. Based on what we know so far then, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection will be next weeks ‘Mystery Game’.
