Leaker announces new Epic Games Store free game giveaway way ahead of schedule
In recent weeks, it seemed that @billbil_kun had stepped back from leaking details about the Epic Games Store's future free game giveaways. However, that changed last week when they outlined $80 worth of free content headed the way of Epic Games account holders, full details of which we have covered separately. Now, @billbil_kun has managed to confirm the storefront's plans even further out than they have previously.
Specifically, they have revealed which game will be discounted to $0.00 on August 29, which we would have typically assumed they would disclose much closer to this week's free game giveaway refresh. Regardless, @billbil_kun claims that Wild Card Football will receive the storefront's free treatment on that date until 15:00 UTC on September 4. For reference, the giveaway likely only extends to the base version of Wild Card Football, for which Epic Games charges $29.99 in the US.
Please note that this price is not currently the cheapest way of purchasing the game on PC, though. Instead, Steam is currently running a 75% sale on Wild Card Football, which reduces its price to $7.49 until August 26. Also, it is worth keeping in mind that Wild Card Football carries the following recommended system requirements on PC:
- OS: Windows 11
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel Core i7-9700K
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT (4 GB VRAM) or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 (6 GB VRAM)
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: 8 GB available space
