A well-known Redditor has got their hands on the content of a future Epic Games Store game giveaway before its official announcement. Averaging 89/100 on Metacritic and a similar score on OpenCritic, the 2D platformer achieves an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, too.

Earlier today, Redditor u/MeguminShiro shared details of Epic Games' next free mobile game of the week. As we have covered separately, the storefront should kick off that deal for Android and iOS gamers tomorrow from around 15:00 UTC.

Incidentally, that giveaway typically commences within minutes of Epic Games' latest batch of free PC games going live, the contents of which the company announced last week. This week, that same Redditor has managed to get ahead of Epic Games Store by revealing its PC freebie before it manages to do so.

For context, Epic Games Store is due to offer Nightingale and Firestone Online Idle RPG in-game items between October 2 and October 9. After that deal comes to an end, u/MeguminShiro alleges that the storefront will switch to Gravity Circuit, a 2D platformer that has been well received on PC and on consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch (curr. $39.99 on Amazon).

To that end, Gravity Circuit retains an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam with 89/100 and 86/100 averages across Metacritic and OpenCritic, respectively. Typically sold for $16.99 in its base game form, Gravity Circuit will be free to claim from the Epic Games Store until 15:00 UTC on October 16.
