Beyond the free games regularly found on Steam or GOG, there are also, and you've probably noticed, the famous free weekends. The principle is simple: you can test a game for a few days, discover it, enjoy it (or not), and why not then give in and take out your credit card. A good way for studios to promote their games and attract new players without commitment. This is the case today on the Epic Games Store.
Epic Games lets you test a game for free
It's not necessarily the game we expected... and yet, Crime Boss Rockay City is starting to make a small place for itself in the hearts of gamers. Criticized upon its release, mocked for its improbable casting, the heist game is now back in the spotlight. And good news: it's playable for free all weekend on PS5, in the Xbox Game Pass (as we could point out) and... the Epic Games Store.
At its launch, Crime Boss Rockay City had everything to get people talking. Heists, a roguelike-style single-player mode, cooperative multiplayer... and above all, a cast worthy of a 90s movie with Chuck Norris, Danny Trejo, and Kim Basinger. But players quickly became disillusioned. The game suffered from bugs, somewhat lacking AI, and gameplay that wasn't always very clear.
Since then, the developers have clearly taken the criticism seriously. Several updates have been released, improving the gameplay, ergonomics, and combat sensations. Today, the title is much more enjoyable to play. play, especially in its roguelike single-player mode that pushes you to chain together heists to take control of Rockay City. Perfect to discover it on the Epic Games Store. It's also a game designed for single-player, which is rather rare in the genre. The bot AI has been reworked, and the developers continue to improve it. Everything is available here.
A community challenge and updates are coming
In addition to the free weekend on Epic Games, a community event is launching. The goal is simple: steal as much money as possible in co-op mode, from all players. The higher the total amount, the more the developers will reveal new information about upcoming game updates. This is a clever way to engage players and show that the game is still being monitored. A new patch is already planned to fix the latest AI issues that have recently appeared.
