The Epic Games Store has made two more games up for grabs for its users while confirming the freebies that will be available beginning October 6. The Epic Games Store typically gives users two free games per week, rotating them on Thursdays at 10:00am CT. This week is no exception, as Epic Games Store users have a fresh pair of free games to claim while they wait for next week's offerings to roll around.

The current Epic Games Store free games are Runbow and The Drone Racing League, both of which will be available to users until October 6 at 10:00am CT. Runbow is a "party platformer" game that originally released in 2015 to mostly positive reviews. It's got multiplayer capabilities, so it's a solid pick for those that need something to play with friends. The Drone Racing League, meanwhile, is a simulation game that is exactly as its name sounds: it's about racing drones. It, too, has multiplayer capabilities, so the Epic Games Store free games this week should be well-received by those that enjoy multiplayer games.

The Epic Games Store free games for October 6 through October 13 are two titles that seem appropriate for the Halloween season: Rising Hell and Slain: Back from Hell. Rising Hell is a "vertical platformer roguelite" where players are tasked with climbing out of Hell, all the while fighting enemies and avoiding dangerous hazards. Rising Hell earned mostly positive reviews at the time of its original release earlier this year.

Epic Games Store Free Games for October 2022

  • Runbow (until October 6 at 10:00am CT)
  • The Drone Racing League (until October 6 at 10:00am CT)
  • Rising Hell (October 6 - October 13)
  • Slain: Back from Hell (October 6 - October 13)

Slain: Back from Hell, meanwhile, had a more mixed reception, but those interested in 2D action games with Gothic art styles should still make sure to check it out and see if it's for them. Slain: Back from Hell will last around six hours according to its Epic Games Store page, which isn't bad for a game that's being given away completely for free.

Once Rising Hell and Slain: Back from Hell have been added on October 6, Epic Games Store users will be clued in on the free games that are coming in the following week. It will be interesting to see if the rest of the Epic Games Store free games for October 2022 are Halloween-appropriate as well, or if Epic mixes things up a bit.
