Epic Games Store is offering the platform game Super Meat Boy Forever for free, the sequel to the beloved indie classic Super Meat Boy. Players can grab the title now and keep it in their library indefinitely, as the offer runs through February 29. Reports have surfaced noting concerns about gambling addiction connected to some game mechanics and monetization, which readers should consider as they download.
Super Meat Boy Forever drew mixed reactions on Steam after launch. Some players praised its ongoing challenge and fast-paced action, while others felt it moved away from the hard-edged precision of the original. In the new installment, the protagonist runs automatically while the player focuses on timing jumps, kicks, and dodges, a shift that sparked debate about accessibility and difficulty balance.
According to the game’s copy, players can: swing through familiar settings, dash across perilous gaps, and smash through obstacles in a story that aims to feel cinematic, as if designed for the big screen.
The Epic Games Store freebie window will close on January 29 at 19:00 Moscow time, and the platform has announced that the next free game will be Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield. That title is described as a high-speed action experience where players race through a futuristic Detroit, weaving through obstacles to reach the finish line.
There were reports that Epic Games Store planned to offer more than one Fallout title at the same time but changed course at the last moment. The reason cited by some sources involves Bethesda Softworks signaling that a Fallout anthology will arrive in a special edition tied to a commemorative atomic-age presentation. The planned lineup for EGS would have included the same Fallout games, but this plan was not carried out.
Earlier this year, a teaser trailer surfaced for a Borderlands movie adaptation, bringing the popular game universe to the big screen and drawing attention from fans and media alike.
