Summary
- Epic Games Store is giving away two free games next week.
- The current free game, 911 Operator, may have received negative reviews, but users should still claim it as there are no strings attached to Epic Games Store free games.
- Next week, users can look forward to claiming Out of Line and The Forest Quartet for free, both of which have received mixed reviews but are still worth checking out.
The Epic Games Store free games for September 21 are Out of Line and The Forest Quartet. For quite some time, the Epic Games Store has only been giving users one free game per week, so fans will no doubt be excited to see EGS go back to giving away two free games like with next week's offerings. While fans wait for next week's free games, there is a single title for EGS users to claim for free right now.
The current Epic Games Store free game is 911 Operator, available to claim from now until September 21 at 10:00am CT. 911 Operator is exactly as it sounds - it's a game that attempts to simulate the work of a 911 operator. 911 Operator earned mostly negative reviews from critics, but there's still no reason why Epic Games Store users shouldn't claim for their libraries. There are no strings attached when it comes to Epic Games Store free games. All users need to know is claim the titles every week, and they will be theirs to keep indefinitely.
Those who aren't thrilled about 911 Operator being the current Epic Games Store free game can look forward to Out of Line and The Forest Quartet next week. Out of Line is a puzzle/platformer game with a hand-drawn art style. The Forest Quartet, meanwhile, is a 3D narrative-driven puzzle game. Both games will be available for Epic Games Store users to claim from September 21 at 10:00am CT until September 28 at 10:00am CT, at which point they will be replaced by the next batch of free EGS games.
Epic Games Store Free Games for September 2023
- 911 Operator (September 14 - September 21)
- Out of Line (September 21 - September 28)
- The Forest Quartet (September 21 - September 28)
Out of Line and The Forest Quartet both have somewhat stronger reviews than 911 Operator, but they still earned a mostly mixed reception from critics. It's hard to complain about free games though, especially since the Epic Games Store free games are genuinely available free of charge. This is in contrast to other "free" game programs that actually require users to be subscribed to some kind of subscription service.
There should be more exciting Epic Games Store free games added a bit later in the year. The Epic Games Store free mystery game promotion is expected to return in December, which should hook users up with daily freebies and feature higher profile games.
