Every week, the Epic Games Store releases a free game for players to download and play, with no strings attached.
This week, players are greeted with not one but two free titles, in the form of Sonic Mania and Horizon Chase Turbo.
The release of Sonic Mania as part of the promotion is fitting as the Blue Blur celebrated its 30th anniversary just yesterday.
As always with the free game, however, players are wondering "does Sonic Mania have multiplayer or Co-Op play?" Let's take a look.
When is The Game Available for Free on the Epic Games Store?
Both Sonic Mania and Horizon Chase Turbo will be free to keep and download on the Epic Games Store from today, June 24.
The promotion runs for exactly a week, lasting until July 1. Make sure to download the title prior to this date to ensure it stays in your game library permanently.
You can download the games right here.
Does Sonic Mania Have Multiplayer or Co-Op Modes?
So, to start off with, Sonic Mania definitely has multiplayer modes for players to get stuck into.
The first of these multiplayer modes is called "Competition Mode". This mode sees players compete head-to-head to complete classic Sonic courses, aiming to get a higher score than their opponent.
Alongside the Competition Mode, Sonic Mania does in fact have a co-op mode for players to complete the levels with their friends.
Does Sonic Mania Support Online Play?
Unfortunately, this is the bad part.
While Sonic Mania has a pair of solid multiplayer modes, they're designed for split-screen play only, replicating that classic Sonic feel.
This means though, that anybody looking to play online with friends is out of luck.
