  3. Distinguish current vs upcoming by promotions field:
    • promotions.promotionalOffers has value → currently free
    • promotions.upcomingPromotionalOffers has value → upcoming free
  4. Each promotion contains startDate and endDate (UTC ISO 8601)
  5. Ignore entries where offerType is not BASE_GAME (DLCs, add-ons, etc.)

Output Format

Group by "currently free" and "upcoming free", show game title, store link, and claim period (converted to local timezone). Date format: match the user's locale.

Store link: https://store.epicgames.com/{locale}/p/{pageSlug} where pageSlug is from offerMappings[0].pageSlug.
