Highlights
- Epic Games Store is offering over $100 in value with free games and content next week.
- This is thanks to Circus Electrique and Firestone freebies.
- In the meantime, EGS users can claim Cat Quest 2 and Orcs Must Die 3.
The Epic Games Store is giving away Circus Electrique and free content for Firestone that totals to over $100 in value. Most of the time, the Epic Games Store freebies are standalone games, but there are times when EGS users are instead treated to content in free-to-play games.
Currently, there are two free standalone games for Epic Games Store users to claim. From now until May 9 at 10:00am CT, Epic Games Store users can snag Cat Quest 2 and Orcs Must Die 3 for their digital libraries. Both games were well-received, earning mostly positive reviews from critics at the time of their respective releases. Furthermore, both are co-op games, so anyone needing something new to play with their friends should be sure to grab them ASAP.
Epic Games Store Users Have Been Waiting on a Common Feature for 2 Years
Online users discuss a feature for the Epic Games Store that was once noted as a priority, but has not been implemented despite other improvements.
Next week, Cat Quest 2 and Orcs Must Die 3 will be pulled from the free games lineup and replaced by Circus Electrique and content for the free-to-play idle RPG Firestone. These freebies will be available from May 9 to May 16. Circus Electrique is a tactical RPG about managing a circus that earned somewhat mixed reviews at the time of its release in 2022. Firestone is an idle game that has similarly had a mixed reaction from fans, but anyone interested in checking it out can get $100 worth of content for it for free. Combined with Circus Electrique's usual $20 price tag, next week's offerings are giving Epic Games Store users over $100 worth of content.
