Every Free Game Released On The Epic Games Store

Since launching in 2018, the Epic Games Store has consistently released titles for free. Provided someone creates an account on the store, they will be able to add these discounted games to their library during a small window of time. From that point on, the account holder can play these games indefinitely. Although not completely opposed to the idea of changing its schedule, at the moment, the Epic Games Store releases a new free game every week, usually on Thursday.

The Epic Games Store has been able to engage more fans through its versatility in the catalog of games available. Not to forget the hype surrounding free “Mystery Games” that regularly accompany the Mega Sales of Epic Games Store. The attention is usually well-deserved, as these veiled titles often turn out to be massive hits, although they are usually mixed in with plenty of indie darlings. Similarly, the free games on Epic Games Store every week raise a substantial amount of hype.

What are all the free games that have been given away on Epic Game Store since 2018? What is currently free in 2024?

Updated on October 10, 2024 by Mark Sammut: Today’s Epic Games Store’s free games are now available, and that will remain the case until October 17. Epic has also revealed the next two freebies.

Epic Games Store’s Current Free Game (October 10 – 17): Outliver: Tribulation & Empyrion – Galactic Survival

A Survival Horror Souls-like & A Survival Sandbox

• 	Outliver: Tribulation	Empyrion – Galactic Survival
  Platform(s)	PC	PC
  Released	2023-07-18	2015-08-05
  Developer(s)	GBROSSOFT	Eleon Game Studios
  Publisher(s)	GBROSSOFT	Eleon Game Studios
  Genre(s)	Action, Adventure	Open-World, Survival
  How Long To Beat	2 Hours	60 Hours

The Epic Games Store’s free games run the spectrum in terms of reputation. Sometimes, well-known AAA projects are handed out; other times, indie titles that are barely known get the spotlight. While the former tends to be more exciting, the latter have their place as well, and quite a few great underappreciated gems have been discovered through these giveaways.

Outliver: Tribulation and Empyrion – Galactic Survival are both relatively unknown, at least in the grand scheme of things. That said, the latter might be a recognizable name if somebody is particularly into sci-fi sandboxes, especially since Empyrion has been around for roughly a decade by this point. The game is ambitious, blending exploration, crafting, building, and survival elements.

Described as a blend of survival horror and Souls-likes, Outliver: Tribulation is cut from a somewhat similar cloth as Remnant: From the Ashes due to emphasizing third-person shooter gunplay, albeit not co-op. The project is based on African Mythology, which sets it apart from nearly every other Souls-like on the market.

Soulslike games are extremely challenging, but also very fun. Here are some titles that fit into this genre and are a blast to complete in NG+.

Epic Games Store’s Upcoming Free Games (October 17–24): Invincible Presents: Atom Eve & Kardboard Kings: Card Shop Simulator

Turn-Based Superheroing Or Run A Store

• 	Invincible Presents: Atom Eve	Kardboard Kings: Card Shop Simulator
  Released	2023-11-14	2022-02-10
  Developer(s)	Terrible Posture Games	Rob Gross, Henry’s House, Oscar Brittain
  Publisher(s)	Skybound Games	Akupara Games
  Genre(s)	Visual Novel, RPG	Digital Card Game, Simulation
  How Long To Beat	4 Hours	3 Hours

The Epic Games Store’s free games are both relatively small titles, although they still have a lot to offer and can be fun additions to most libraries. Out of the two, Invincible Presents: Atom Eve is probably the bigger title due to being part of a fairly popular superhero franchise, one that has comics and an Amazon Prime Video animated series. Atom Eve blends visual novel-style storytelling with turn-based combat that features popular characters from the show, beyond just the eponymous heroine. While probably not having too much to offer newcomers who are not familiar with the series, this game is well worth a playthrough for anyone who likes Invincible. It is pretty short too, so not a massive investment.

Kardboard Kings: Card Shop Simulator is a fairly unknown card store simulator, one that puts players in charge of buying, selling, and trading. Beyond that, the title also includes an actual card game called Warlock, with there even being the possibility of taking part in a tournament. Kardboard Kings has a cute art style and some cool card designs.
