A new rumor has set social media on fire and there are lots of debates and also a big question mark arises whether to believe it or not. I am talking about none other than the rumor of the Red Dead Redemption 2 to be free next week on the Epic Store.
It’s not the first time Epic games had distributed freebies games to its users. Many AAA titles and other games, Epic gave their users for free to keep forever. Recent two biggest games distributed by Epic was GTA 5 and Hitman. The game is allegedly to hit the epic store this Friday.
Initially, the rumor arose first on the Maylasian Lowyat forum, where the screenshot of the game was allegedly posted along with something written in Chinese on a Chinese Games Store. The Chinese writing was translated in English saying ‘Free To Claim next Friday’.
Many facts suggest the rumored news to be a fake. First, Epic starts to give its freebies from Thursday, not Friday. Second, Epic has already confirmed that it will offer Railway Empire as a freebie for this week. Third, it took GTA 5 seven years to come for free in pc on Epic store and Red Dead Redemption 2 was released on 5th November 2019 so, its less than a year a release of the game.
Unless Epic is generous enough to fork out a very large sum of money on it, or it’s just a fake rumor. The game is among the Steam top 30 global best sellers and its hard to digest that Rockstar Games will agree to lose their beth from that position and incur a huge loss of money. The amount required to get Rockstar to budge would be excessively high even for Epic. So, don’t get your hopes high as the rumor is highly doubtful with a very little chance to be true.
