Epic's rolling out the holidays a bit early this year with Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga as a free game this week. The mammoth capstone to nearly 20 years of the Lego Star Wars series has a sprawling campaign that covers nine movies' worth of story. It's a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor and action platforming game to get for free.
If that's not your speed, well, there's always Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop, which is also free from Epic this week. I'm told that buses can go several speeds, so I'm sure one of them will fit you. "Lego Star Wars has been working its strange magic ever since 2005, and the series' keen jokes have often been able to elevate what might otherwise just be a soulless melding of two brands. The Skywalker Saga seeks to be the definitive entry, covering all the ground of previous games in the series, as well as including The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker in Lego form for the first time.
