Key Takeaways
- The Spirit and the Mouse is the current free Epic Games Store game.
- Bear & Breakfast will be the next free game.
- Bear & Breakfast will be free from October 3 to October 10.
The Epic Games Store free game for October 3 to October 10 is Bear & Breakfast. The way the Epic Games Store works is that every week, users are treated to a new free game or two, while also being clued in on what next week’s offering will be. As such, anyone that hops on to the Epic Games Store right now has a fresh free game to claim for their digital libraries.
From now until September 26, Epic Games Store users have the opportunity to snag The S pirit and the Mouse completely free of charge. The Spirit and the Mouse was originally released in 2022 and earned mostly positive reviews from critics, with a respectable 75 overall rating on review aggregate site OpenCritic. For the uninitiated, The Spirit and the Mouse is a cozy game where players explore a French village as a mouse, helping out the townspeople by completing quests and mini-games. It should only take five hours or so to complete, for those looking to play something a little shorter.
Epic Games Store users can keep The Spirit and the Mouse forever as long as they claim it during its free availability window. Come October 3, The Spirit and the Mouse will be replaced by Bear & Breakfast. Bear & Breakfast earned the exact same 75 overall rating that The Spirit and the Mouse did, and it too has cozy vibes, so both games will likely appeal to the same kind of gamer.
Epic Games Store Free Games List
- The Spirit and the Mouse (September 26 – October 3)
- Bear and Breakfast (October 3 – October 10)
In Bear & Breakfast, players run a Bed & Breakfast as a bear. It lets players customize their inn, work to keep their guests happy, complete quests, and explore the surrounding forest. Bear & Breakfast has become somewhat of a favorite among cozy gamers, with the game earning a “Very Positive” overall rating on EGS competitor platform Steam.
Epic Games Store users will have one week to claim Bear & Breakfast. The game will be replaced by a different free game on October 10, but at this point, it’s anyone’s guess as to what that game will be. Since it will be October and the middle of the spooky season, it’s entirely possible that said game will be horror-themed, but that’s just speculation at this time. Plenty of horror games have been given away for free through the Epic Games Store in the past, though, so fans should stay tuned to see what’s on offer.
