Just Cause 4 and Wheels of Aurelia are free on the Epic Games Store

Attachment 38450

If you like free games (and who doesn't?) then you'll want to take a trip around to the Epic Games Store today (or sometime within the next week), because today is Thursday and that means a pair of fresh freebies are up for the taking. This time around it's the open-world calamity simulator Just Cause 4, and Wheels of Aurelia, "an immersive road trip through the gritty western coast of Italy during the roaring 1970s.

Just Cause 4 should require little introduction; it’s the fourth installment of Avalanche Studios’ wildly over-the-top, open-world action-adventure franchise, starring secret agent/amazing badass Rico Rodriguez. It launched in 2018 to a lukewarm critical reception, though. Our review called it “a tired retread of old ideas.” Just Cause 4 was recently added to the libraries of both Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Now.

Wheels of Aurelia launched in September 2016, and its branching, multiple-ending narrative tells the story of an Italian woman on a road trip in her country. Players can visit a number of cities in northern Italy and pick up hitchhikers; their encounters range from a highway race to robbing a bank.

Both games are free now and will remain so until 11 am ET on April 23. Next week's giveaway will be For the King, a turn-based strategy roguelike that features procedurally-generated maps, quests, and events. For more zero-cost entertainment, keep your eyes on our running list of all the free games you can grab right now.
