If you're looking for something interesting to help pass the time before Cyberpunk 2077 comes along, you might be happy to hear that the space sim Elite: Dangerous is currently free to grab. Simply head on over to the Epic Games Store, snag yourself a copy, and you'll be good to go after a brief download.

As the title would suggest, the only catch is the time limit. The giveaway will only be around for another day, so if Elite: Dangerous looks like it might be up your alley, you should definitely go get yourself a copy sooner rather than later, just to play it safe.

For those of you curious about its actual quality, I would say that Elite: Dangerous is a pretty darn good game... for a niche audience. Elite: Dangerous' learning curve is steep and its gameplay open-ended, so your enjoyment of it will highly depend on how much you're willing to immerse yourself into the role of a space trucker & explorer, as well as how much you're willing to create your own reasons to roam across the universe. That said, it is currently entirely free, so why not give it a try and see where you fall?

You can learn more about Elite: Dangerous, as well as keep an eye on any future expansions, over at the official website. Have fun, and I'll leave you with a brief trailer:
