Though the hobby of gaming has grown increasingly expensive overtime, the Epic Games Store offers free weekly titles for all of its users every Thursday at 10 AM CT. Every week, a new set of games rotates in and the next set is announced alongside it. This gives players a chance to get a proper look at the game and what it offers before deciding if they want to pick it up when it becomes available on the Epic Games Store free games page.
The promotion first started as a bundle of joy for gamers in the 2018 Christmas season, where Epic originally offered a few free games as holiday presents to the storefront’s user base. The promotion certainly proved its worth with this first appearance, as the weekly freebies continued into 2019 and further beyond. Now it’s 2025, and only a few snags and last-minute issues, like a few encountered on the Epic Games Store in April this year, have hindered the giveaways. So far, it seems like October 2025’s offerings and learning from April’s past issues as an Albion Online bundle is up for grabs alongside Gravity Circuit.
Epic Games Store Free Game Gravity Circuit Explained
After a month full of new releases like September, Gravity Circuit is a great game to wind down with after making a dent in one’s backlog. This Epic Games Store freebie is a blast from the past as it features platforming that will make many retro NES fans feel right at home. Whether fans enjoyed Mega Man X or Shovel Knight, Gravity Circuit is more of what many fans of platforming adore from the start of ’80s action games. It’s a relatively short game as well, and those who decide to pick it up next week will find themselves spending five hours completing the main objective. True to its inspirations, however, Gravity Circuit has plenty of things to do and discover, and 100% completion will take about 13 and a half hours.
Gravity Circuit's Features
- Incredibly smooth controls that work well with the precision fans expect from similar titles.
- A custom chip load-out feature that encourages finding one’s own playstyle.
- Mechanics like the grappling hook that are easy to learn but difficult to master.
