this-weeks-free-game-at-epic-is-up-for-grabs

The Epic Games Store continues to give away free games each week, more than three years after the digital storefront launched its awesome weekly freebies program. Epic has confirmed that the free games program will continue through at least the end of 2022. Every Thursday at the same time 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET--Epic gives up between one and three free games. You merely need to create a free Epic account and enable two-factor authentication to start snagging freebies. At this point, Epic has given away well over 100 free games, and there's no sign that the program will stop any time soon. We keep this article up to date weekly to highlight both the current free games and next week's offerings.

This week's free game at Epic

Hundred Days - Winemaking Simulator

From now until September 15 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, you can grab Hundred Days - Winemaking Simulator, which is a resource management sim in which you run your own winery. It's essentially a city-building strategy game, but instead of managing buildings and people, you're cultivating your land to make various types of wine. Additionally, to celebrate the launch of Realm Royale on the Epic Games Store, you can grab the Epic Launch Bundle, which comes with a pair of skins and a mount to use in the free-to-play battle royale.

Next week's free game at Epic

The Captain

Starting September 15, you can claim Spirit of the North and The Captain. Spirit of the North is a third-person adventure game set in Iceland. You play as a red fox guided by the guardian of the Northern Lights. Spirit of the North has gorgeous environments, clever puzzles, and fun 3D platforming sequences. The Captain is a pixelated side-scrolling adventure game starring a Spacefleet officer who explores the galaxy and works toward saving Earth from evil forces.
