Saints Row: The Third, in particular, was the entry in the series that doubled down on more absurd aspects that had sporadically emerged prior. However, the series has always prided itself on maintaining a more jovial and ridiculous tone. Saints Row is an open-world series that closely resembles Grand Theft Auto. RELATED: Grand Theft Auto 5 Gave Epic Games Store A Massive Boost The announcement was exciting, as there are many fans who love Saints Row: The Third, and it being offered for free is a great way for fans or new players to jump in and check it out. The current offering was Automachef from publisher Team17, but the surprise addition of Saints Row: The Third brought the week up. The store typically gives away two games at a time, although it sometimes only offers one.
The Epic Games Store also has spent a lot of money securing timed exclusives, and has already revealed the first free game Epic Games Store players can expect in September. The games given away by the Epic Games Store have ranged from smaller indies to big AAA titles, and have also covered a wide range of genres in an effort to attract customers. The Epic Games Store has released a ton of free games, with new titles rotating in and out every week. Epic Games Store made a surprise announcement last week that Saints Row: The Third would be available for free on the storefront until September 2.
