If you've been trying to buy a PS5 or Xbox Series X over the last year, you know how hard it can be. You might think Microsoft, the company that literally builds and sells Xbox consoles, would be able to snag some, but even it is struggling.

     Epic's free game today isn't Bloodborne but is one of the PC's best Soulslikes

As part of its holiday celebration we're once again getting treated to a daily free game from the Epic Games Store, and today's title is one of the best Soulslikes on PC. Remnant: From The Ashes was one of the most-lauded games of 2019 and it's completely free, but only for the next 24 hours - so you better go grab it quick.

PC gamers are still waiting on the inevitable port of From Software's classic Bloodborne on PC, to say nothing of the delay of Elden Ring, but anyone looking to scratch that Soulslike itch could do far worse than give Remnant: Beyond The Ashes a try - especially as it's currently free on the Epic Games Store for the next day.

Remnant is a single-player or co-op action-focused survival RPG where, much like Dark Souls or similar titles, players much traverse the world and take every combat encounter seriously - underestimate a single enemy and you'll likely die and lose a lot of progress to boot.

     Elite Dangerous carrier interiors have shops, NPCs, and crew quarters

Getting your hands on a Drake-class fleet carrier in Elite: Dangerous is no small task, but it's about to become even more rewarding. Frontier Developments has revealed some alpha footage of the fleet carrier interiors that are coming to Elite Dangerous: Odyssey early next year, providing a short walk-through of the space game's grandest capital ships.

Senior game designer Derin Halil provides some explanation throughout the video, which you can watch below. Drake-class fleet carriers, introduced in 2020, are Elite's biggest vessels, and they're persistent objects in the game world, much like stations. In fact, carriers function similarly to stations, providing a place for players to come buy and sell goods, pick up missions, upload cartographic data, and more, depending on what the carrier's owner has outfitted the ship with. The big difference, of course, is that carriers have frame shift drives and can travel across the galaxy at will.

While that's all handled through menus now, when Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 11 arrives in early 2022, you'll be able to stroll around inside carriers once you've landed. You can hang out in the bar or browse the wares at Pioneer Supplies, both of which carrier owners can manage in order to make a tidy profit.
