If there's one thing The Epic Games Store is good for its free games and next week's option is perfect for die-hard football fans who aren't willing to drop $60 on a new release. In the realm of sports video games, the likes of Madden and MLB: The Show are extremely popular but neither boasts the following of EA Sports FC, previously known by its more commonly-used title FIFA. While the latest entry in that hyper-successful franchise won't be free for a while yet, an even deeper football game should hopefully scratch a similar itch for fans.
Over on The Epic Games Store, the company has revealed that Football Manager 2024, a surprisingly recent game that still retails for $60, will be free to keep for all users between September 5 and 12. That's a week-long period where the immersive title can be added to one's library completely free of charge. While it may not provide the experience of running around a pitch as recognizable players, the Football Manager series is known for offering a deep, tactical experience that closely simulates the reality of putting together a professional team.
Football Manager 2024 is another excellent entry...
