The Epic Games Store continues its tradition of offering free games, building a loyal fanbase since its 2018 launch. Creating a store account grants access to these limited-time freebies, which remain playable indefinitely after claiming. While the weekly Thursday release schedule may adjust in the future, it currently remains the norm.
The diverse game catalog and the anticipation surrounding the "Mystery Games" during Mega Sales are key factors in the store's popularity. These surprise releases often prove to be significant titles, alongside a selection of indie gems. The weekly free game announcements also generate considerable excitement.
