How to download Abzu for free on Epic Games Store: Step-by-step guide

The Epic Games Store has made quite the impression early on and has established itself as one of the most popular marketplaces for PC games. In a space that is dominated by Steam, the Epic Games Store has managed to carve out a niche for itself.

One of the ways it has been able to establish itself as a viable alternative to other services, such as Steam, is by offering free games every month. Similar to how PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold works, players can claim a couple of free games for their PC every month.

What separates it from the bunch is that players do not need to pay for a subscription to the Epic Games Store. Players only require an Epic Games Account and the Epic Games Launcher to play the game.

One of the free games on offer on the Epic Games Store this month is the indie phenomenon, Abzu. An underwater adventure that lets player discover the vastness of the ocean, Abzu is one of the most unique gaming experiences.
