Epic Games Store’s Next Free PC Hit Leaks Early, Boasting Rave Reviews

Leak points to Gravity Circuit as the next Epic Games Store free game, October 9–16

A reliable Reddit tipster claims that Gravity Circuit, the well-reviewed 2D platformer, is set to be the Epic Games Store’s next free PC title. If the leak holds, the giveaway will run from October 9 until 15:00 UTC on October 16.

The timing lines up with Epic’s usual cadence. Right now, the storefront is offering in-game items for Nightingale and Firestone Online Idle RPG through October 9. According to the same source, the promotion will then switch to Gravity Circuit, a fast-paced side-scrolling platformer that’s earned praise across platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.

Gravity Circuit has impressed critics and players alike, holding an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, an average score of 89/100 on Metacritic, and 86/100 on OpenCritic. Typically priced at $16.99 for the base game on PC, it would be free to claim during the promo window if the report is accurate.

As with most Epic Games Store giveaways, the weekly refresh is expected around 15:00 UTC. Keep an eye on the store at that time on October 9 to see if Gravity Circuit is indeed the next freebie.
