What are the new free games on the Epic Store this week?

If you’ve ever felt like there weren’t too many games, you’ll feel right at home with the Epic Games Store – a storefront that, much like Valve’s Steam, allows gamers to purchase games to their heart’s content. Furthermore, all you need is a decent gaming PC to take full advantage of everything the Epic Games Store has to offer, be it free games or great discounts.

The Epic Games Store has been giving away free games weekly since 2019 and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping these offers any time soon. Regardless of which storefront you use, a general rule of thumb is to never look a gift horse in the mouth when it comes to discounts and offers or ignore freebies. So if you are not yet a registered user, we recommend that you create an account so that you can download a new game every week.

Read below to learn about previous free game offers from Epic, as well as the Epic Games Store offers this week and next.

Empyrion: Galactic Survival

If you combined elements from space simulations, construction games, first-person shooters and survival games, you’d be left with Empyrion: Galactic Survival. Build the most powerful ships, embark on a planetary conquest and, above all, travel across the galaxy to discover the secrets of Empyrion.

You can test Empyrion: Galactic Survival via Epic Games Store.

Described as “African mythology meets survival horror and Souls-like,” this game is about a soldier named Bolanle Gboyega who ends up in a supernatural realm. Your only way out is to take part in an ancient ritual. Players must battle otherworldly creatures, solve puzzles, and engage in intense battles to return to their world.

You can check out Outliver: Tribulations via that Epic Games Store.

To get free games from the Epic Store every week, you need to log in and create an account.

To register as an Epic Store user, first go to the Epic Games website. Click the “Sign In” button in the top right, then click “Create Account” at the bottom of the page.

The Epic Store is different from Steam, so the games you own on the Epic Store cannot be played on Steam. If you want to play the free games you downloaded from the Epic Store, you’ll need to play them through Epic’s launcher.
