Epic Games Store Free Games October 2023
The Evil Withinbeing part of the Epic Games Store free games lineup makes perfect sense for October 2023. After all,The Evil Withinwill be given away to Epic Games Store users just in time for Halloween, ensuring that they have a scary game to play for the holiday.For those unfamiliar withThe Evil Within, the game plays similarly toResident Evil 4, but with an emphasis on mind-bending, supernatural elements. It’s much more of a pure horror game than it is an action game, which should appeal to fans of the genre.
The next batch of Epic Games Store free games could very well include more horror games to keep with the Halloween spirit, but that remains to be seen. For now,Epic Games Store userscan addBlazing SailsandQUBE Ultimate Bundleto their digital libraries while they wait forEternal ThreadsandThe Evil Withinto be made free next week.
