An open-world sandbox game is today's freebie on the Epic Games Store

It's time for a freebie on the Epic Games Store. As the 24-hour countdown reached its end, today's mystery game giveaway has been unveiled as a copy of TerraTech, taking the place of Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles from the previous day.

Developed by Payload Studios, TerraTech is a sandbox construction game that allows players extensive freedom in designing vehicles. The studio has created a vast collection of blocks that can be used to modify vehicle functionality, resource processing, and even flight capabilities with the appropriate components. The game features a procedurally generated world filled with diverse biomes, each offering unique resources for crafting, ensuring a high level of replayability.

Players can also defeat rival machines to collect their parts for personal designs, making combat an essential element for upgrading technology levels. The game supports solo and co-op gameplay, including a full campaign with missions or a creative mode, and features a PvP competitive environment. In multiplayer mode, players can enjoy both deathmatch and Sumo options.

The TerraTech giveaway on the Epic Games Store is currently live as the third installment in the daily giveaway lineup. Launched in 2018, the game typically retails for $24.99 when not discounted. This giveaway will conclude at 8 am PT on December 22, at which point the next free game will also be disclosed.

Again, this is a completely free download. It is not a free demo or a trial version, but rather a full game available at no cost. There are no subscriptions or other requirements needed. All that is necessary is an Epic Games Store account, which is free to create. Once claimed, the game is yours to keep permanently.

And as always, remember to use our comparison tool to find the best deal for your next favorite game.
