Epic Games Store has made Breathedge and Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition free to claim, dropping the price of both PC titles to zero. It is a pairing that offers a stark contrast, bringing together deep-space survival and sports-management games on a single afternoon.
The storefront confirmed the giveaway is live now, allowing anyone with an account to add both titles to their library. While these titles require zero dollars, those looking for premium blockbusters can still find plenty of other PC discounts active this week.
The weekly freebie has become a familiar routine for PC players, serving as a low-stakes way to expand a digital library. This round asks players to split their attention between surviving the vacuum of space and managing a stable of athletes.
The details
- Games: Breathedge, Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition
- Price: Free (100% off)
- Platform: PC (Epic Games Store)
Ultimately, the only transaction here is the hard drive space, leaving players to decide if they want to hoard more titles they might eventually play.
