Today is not only exciting because it’s Friday or because the weekend is within our grasp. No, today is exciting because it’s the Friday before a long weekend, meaning three solid days of gaming time lie before us.
It’s also the day of the week that Epic Game Store pretends it’s your birthday and gives you some games for free.
For those who don’t already know, every Thursday or sometimes Friday, Epic Games Store makes a game available for gamers to download and add to their libraries for free.
All gamers need to do to grab this fantastic gift for themselves is log into their Epic account, redeem the game or games on offer and add it to their library. Forever.
Today, the Epic Games Store offers two games, Out of Line and The Forest Quartet, available until the 28th of September.
