Ever wanted to sail the open seas and feel the beautiful blue waves crashing against your boat, all while being attacked by a 100-foot hydra? Sail Forth offers this and so much more. You’ll customize your ship and get it up to scratch as you face off against pirates and a myriad of other hostile forces.

Ignoring these teeth-clenching scenarios, Sail Forth also has a ton of peaceful and serene moments for you to enjoy. There are islands to embark to, friendly locals you can recruit, fishing, and the joy of discovering the vibrant-yet-volatile world of Sail Forth.

How to claim your free games on the Epic Games Store

On the Sail Forth game page found on the Epic Games Store, there’s one button to press to acquire Sail Forth for free.

It’s a fairly standard procedure, but if you’re looking for detailed guidance, we’ve outlined a few easy steps for you to follow:

  1. Head to the Epic Games Store.
  2. Scroll down until you see Sail Forth under Free Games and click it.
  3. On the game page, simply press Get.
  4. Now, press Place Order.
  5. You’re now free to download Sail Forth.

If Sail Forth isn’t your cup of tea and you want something a bit more action-packed, consider trying Call of Duty: Warzone, which continues to be a trendsetter in the free-to-play market.
