If there’s one thing we all love, it’s a free game, and thanks to subscription services like Xbox Game Pass, trying out games you’ve never played before has never been easier (or cheaper).

It’s been revealed that one of the next awesome games to hit both the Xbox One and PC Game Pass services will be none other than Alan Wake, the iconic horror of a generation which is currently celebrating its 10th birthday.

The news was announced by developer Remedy Games, who took to Twitter to share the love. The freebies (if you’re a part of the programme, of course) come as part of the Alan Wake 10 year anniversary celebrations.

You’ll be able to download and play Alan Wake for free, from May 21st. If you’ve never played, the game’s official description reads as follows: “IN DARKNESS, FIGHT WITH LIGHT.

“From Remedy, the masters of cinematic action, comes a 3rd person action game filled with overwhelming odds and desperate near escapes.When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A dark presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love.”

In related news, you can now download and keep Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC thanks to the Epic Games Store. Unlike with the Xbox Game Pass, you don’t need to be a paying subscriber to get yourself this freebie – all you need to do is log in to the Epic Games Store!
