If you’re a fan of free games (and let’s be honest: who isn’t?) you’ll probably be elated to know that NBA 2K21 can be obtained for free on the Epic Games Store up until May 27! This, in short, came out of the blue, but we’re definitely not complaining!

This is just the first of many free games Epic intends to give away as a part of their MEGA Sale event (May 20—June 17). So, in short, NBA 2K21 is just the start; we’ll be getting a new free game each Thursday going forward, although it’s still unknown whether it’ll be an indie title or something of the triple A variety. Regardless, free stuff is always highly welcome — doubly so if it’s video games we’re talking about!

Moreover, NBA 2K21 isn’t some shoddy sports simulation — it’s the absolute best basketball game on the market, and the fact that we’re getting the latest and greatest installment for free is nothing short of spectacular! Heck, you don’t even have a fan of the sport to appreciate the gesture!

And, on the off-chance that basketball isn’t your thing, there are numerous discounts worth checking out, including deals on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (25% off), Cyberpunk 2077 (20% off), Detroit: Become Human (30% off), Outriders (25% off), Red Dead Redemption 2 (33% off), and many others.

You can check out the full list by clicking here. And, as always, make sure to check the website as frequently as possible as newer (and potentially greater) deals are bound to pop up on a daily basis! As if that wasn’t enough, $10 Epic Coupons have also made a return and will automatically be applied on eligible games (priced at $14.99 and above). All in all, this is quite a good moment to pull out your wallet and spend some of your hard-earned money on the latest and greatest titles!

And, of course, if you have an Epic Games account, make sure to log in and claim NBA 2K21 for free — it doesn’t get any cheaper than that!
