Overcooked free on the Epic Games store: How to download

Epic Games completely surprised players when they announced Overcooked as their 4th free mystery game. A few weeks ago, a leak which surfaced on Reddit revealed some of the upcoming free games on the Epic Games store.

Astonishingly, the leak turned out to be right for the next two games after GTA V. But for the fourth, the officials replaced ARK Survival Evolved with Overcooked. Hence, it was just a leak that ended up being wrong about the fourth game.

However, it's always fun to try out new games, especially when paid games are being offered for free.

Here are the guidelines to grab a free copy of Overcooked from the Epic Games store.
