As for other games? Well, Epic is only giving away one game this week. Boo! The Epic Games Store continues to offer free games every week for the foreseeable future as part of its commitment to win over gamers. Their goal is to establish themselves as a serious game distribution force, fighting against the former king of PC gaming, Valve's Steam platform. While Epic has generated some controversy with its aggressive approach to securing PC game exclusives for its platform, it's hard to argue with its continued distribution of top-notch free games.Next week's games
Can't wait to get your hands on more games without spending a dime? Well, we have good news. Epic has already revealed what's to come next week: Players can download Abzu and Rising Storm 2: Vietnam starting October 8.Previous free games
