The Epic Games Store’s next free title has been announced

Next week’s free Epic Games Store title has been announced.

Off-road driving game MudRunner, from developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Home Interactive, will be free to download from November 26 until December 3.

It will replace Elite Dangerous and The World Next Door, which normally cost £19.99 and £7.99 respectively, but are currently free to download until November 26.

The Epic Games Store’s free games promotion, which launched alongside the storefront in December 2018, will run throughout 2020.

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney claimed earlier this year that the promotion has caused sales to increase for developers who participate.

“People have discovered a lot of great games that way,” he told Gamespot. “It’s been a benefit for game developers.

“Most developers who launch their games for free on the store found that their sales on Steam and on console platforms actually increased after they went free on Epic because of increased awareness and so it’s been a really positive thing and it’s brought tens of millions of new users into the Epic Games ecosystem and that’s been a wonderful thing for the company.”
