Surgeon Simulator 2 is currently free for NHS workers to claim on PC.
If you are an NHS worker and you want to try out a truly excellent game, then head on over the nhs.surgeonsim.com to claim your free copy.
It isn't exactly a performance-heavy game, so most PCs and laptops should be able to run it totally fine.
The developers behind the game, Bossa Studios announced that it would be free as of 2pm UK time on October 1.
This is part of the NHS: National Handout of Surgeon Simulator initiative - or NHSNHSS for short.
“At Bossa, we’ve always envisioned Surgeon Simulator 2 as a valuable training tool for NHS workers to hone their healthcare skills!” said Henrique Olifiers, Bossa Studios’ CEO.
“The Surgeon Simulator 2 community is frankly rubbish at saving Bob, so we think our players need to be shown how it’s really done.”
Bossa Studios has been quick to point out, however, that “Surgeon Simulator 2 is absolutely NOT a viable medical training tool”, which should be obvious to anyone familiar with the game.
The Surgeon Sim games are infamous for the physics-based pandemonium that ensues while trying to save patients and its complete disregard for medial accuracy.
The sequel features an all-new co-operative multiplayer, in which budding surgeons can play with up-to-three other players to tackle everything from heart transplants to limb replacements.
Bossa Studio also announced that it would be supporting North Lincolnshire NHS Trust with a Surgeon Simulator 2 speed-running event, which will show real doctors playing the game as quickly as possible to raise money for MRI facility improvements.
The stream will take place here from 10am BST on Thursday 15 October.
Surgeon Simulator 2 was released in August 2020 on the Epic Game Store and it is a direct sequel to the cult-classic and absolutely hilarious original from 2013.
This free offer is only available until Thursday, October 22. If you're not an NHS worker, you can buy it here.
