The Epic Games Store free game for Thursday, July 11 is Floppy Knights. Epic Games Store users get a new free game every week, though the quality of said games certainly varies. There are times when the Epic Games Store gives away low-rated titles that are unlikely to drum up much excitement, just as there are times when the launcher gives away critically-acclaimed titles.
The current Epic Games Store free game would fall into the former camp. The Falconeer: Standard Edition is free on the Epic Games Store until July 11. An air combat game with giant birds, The Falconeer originally released in 2020 and earned mixed reviews at the time of its launch. However, the fact that Epic Games Store users can get The Falconeer completely free of charge with no strings attached may make them a little more accepting of the game. Regardless, those interested have until Thursday, July 11 to claim The Falconeer, at which point it will be replaced by the higher-rated Floppy Knights.
First released in 2022, Floppy Knights will be the Epic Games Store free game from July 11 to July 18. At that point, it will be swapped out for the next free game offering, though it's anyone's guess as to what that will be. Floppy Knights isn't a particularly well-known game, but it did earn critical acclaim back when it first launched, earning an impressive 85 overall rating according to review aggregate site OpenCritic. For those unfamiliar with the game, Floppy Knights is a turn-based tactics card game. Strategy game fans especially should be sure to snag it when it's made free on the Epic Games Store on July 11.
