After a couple of weeks of less-than-stellar freebies, the Epic Games Store is starting June off strong with Remedy Entertain's supernatural action-adventure title, Control.
Control, which normally costs $23.99 on the Epic Games Store, will displace Frostpunk as the latest Epic Games Store Freebie. It will be available starting June 10 until June 17. After this, Hell is Other Demons and Overcooked 2 will be the next Epic Games Store freebie on June 17.

The mind-bending third-person shooter was one of the most critically acclaimed games of 2019. Control ended up winning numerous awards like the Golden Joystick and GAFTA gong. Numerous publications like GamesRadar and IGN also named Control as their Game of the Year for 2019.
Remedy Entertainment later released two DLC story expansions for Control, The Foundation, and AWE. The latter connected Control to Remedy's cult classic title, Alan Wake.
Earlier this year, Control received next-gen enhancements for the Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation 5. In addition to this, Remedy Entertainment also announced that Epic is funding two games that will be set in the Remedy Connected Universe, which currently includes both Alan Wake and Control.
It'll be interesting to see if making Control free on the Epic Games Store is part of a larger effort to drum up hype for the announcement of Remedy Entertainment's Epic-funded games.
