Epic Games Store has kicked off its 'Mega sale' for 2022, promising a new free game every week for four weeks alongside discounts across the storefront. The first of these freebies is Gearbox's hugely successful loot shooter Borderlands 3 and it's available until May 26.

All this is to say, it's worth grabbing an account and keeping up with these free offers, because even if you don't have a computer capable of running some of these games now, when you get one, you'll have a stocked games library ready to go.
