All the major gaming platforms offer free games in some capacity, but they usually come as bonuses with a subscription service. The Epic Games Store is one of the few platforms that offers truly free games with no strings attached beyond users needing to use the Epic Games Store launcher.

Fans of Fares' work on A Way Out and It Takes Two should enjoy Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, so they should be sure to claim it while it's free.

The Epic Games Store free games tend to be older titles, so it's nice to see a relatively newer game added to the free games lineup.
