While most people still go to Steam for the best PC games, the Epic Games Store has become a strong competitor in the space and now hosts all the best current and upcoming PC games. Unlike Steam, however, Epic entices users to invest in its ecosystem by offering a free game or two every week ranging from darling indies to AAA titles. All you have to do is jump on the Epic Games Store to claim the free games and they’ll be added to your library to keep forever. Unlike PlayStation Plus or Game Pass, you don’t have to subscribe to anything to get them; just create a free account and you can claim every free game offered.
Keeping track of all the free titles and gaming deals can be a pain, so we’re monitoring the Epic Games Store for you. We’ll update this article every week when the new games are available!

For those who have fond memories of old Flash games, DeadTime Defenders will take you back to those good old days. This is a single player looter shooter RPG with an evolving story and endless amounts of guns and gear to collect. It doesn’t try to complicate things much, but has a nice loop and mission variety to keep that hunt for more power alive.

Think you’re a good typer? Instead of a typical rail shooter with typing elements, Touch Type Tale challenges your finger speed in an RTS game. It has a delightful art style, a full campaign, and competitive multiplayer to see if your strategy and typing skills are equally impressive. Thanks to asynchronous language options, you can even use this game to help learn a new language!
All previous free Epic Games Store titles
Want to get a feel for the kind of games Epic offers up for free? Or looking to see what you’ve missed out on? Epic has given away hundreds of game so far so it can be hard to remember them all. Note that Epic does occasionally offer the same game twice, so if you see a game here that you wish you had gotten, there is a chance it could appear again.
