On 18 September 2020, Episode 1: Roads was made free for all platforms.
Episode 1 became permanently free on September 17, 2020, not September 18. Official announcements from both Square Enix and DONTNOD give September 17 as the free-release date.
Full reasoning
This date is contradicted by the publisher's own announcement. Square Enix's official press release, dated September 17, 2020, states that Life is Strange 2: Episode 1 "will be made permanently free from September 17th at 9am PDT/12pm ET/5pm BST" and repeats that it would be available to download for free on September 17th. DONTNOD's corresponding investor/news posting says the same thing: Episode 1 "is permanently free from September 17th at 9am PDT/12pm ET/5pm BST" for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC/Steam. That directly conflicts with the article's September 18 date.
