Epic Games Store Free Games List – Current and Upcoming

Want some free games? Then head right over to the Epic Games Store because the digital distribution platform is giving away free games to keep if you can claim them in time.

All Free Games on the Epic Games Store

Every week, the Epic Games Store gives away at least one free game. And we’re not talking about titles that didn’t sell or are infamously bad. The store has given away everything from little indie games to AAA titles, and all you need to claim them is a free Epic Games Store account.

You don’t even have to download the launcher until you want to play them — you can claim them through their respective web pages. Here are the Epic Games Store’s current free games.

Them’s Fightin’ Herds – March 6 to March 13

Developer: Mane 6 inc
Publisher: Maximum Entertainment

Ever wanted to see animated animals beat the living daylights out of each other? Them’s Fighting Herds, available now, is your chance. It started life as a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic beat-em-up, before Hasbro got involved and it became its current incarnation.

Since each character has four legs, it’s a little different from your average one-on-one fighter. My Little Pony developer Lauren was involved and it was pretty well received. However, the planned DLC was truncated after the development team was removed from the project. You’ve nothing to lose by grabbing it for free, though.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I and II – Now to March 20 (mobile only)

Developer: BioWare / Obsidian Entertainment

Publisher: Lucasarts / Aspyr

If you’ve got a half-decent mobile, either iOS or Android, you can install the Epic Games Store mobile app and claim both the original BioWare Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and its sequeln, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic: The Sith Lords.

Both of these are superb Star Wars RPGs, set long before the movies so BioWare and Obsidian could more or less do anything they wanted without contradicting canon. They’re non-canon since Disney took over, but you’ll never get tired of lightsabering your way through Sith troopers or, if you lean towards the Dark Side, using force lightning to fell your foes.

There are some amazing moments out of combat, too, with a story that’ll have you hooked. My proudest, by which I mean most evil, moment was taking a Romeo and Juliet-style love story and ensuring that absolutely everyone died. Whether you’re Jedi or Sith, you can download the Epic Games Store app on mobile and claim both these games for free.

Upcoming Free Games on the Epic Games Store

What else is on the way? There’s one free game coming next week and some DLC for a free-to-play game, so here’s what you can claim.

Mortal Shell – March 13 to March 20

Developer: Cold Symmetry
Publisher: PlayStack

Mortal Shell is a soulslike that takes Dark Souls’ whole undead thing a step further by not giving you a body. Instead, you take possession of other enemies and murder your way through some equally miserable monsters. If you’re a fan of gloom, gloom and more gloom you’ll be right at home.

It was reasonably well received on launch, and it’s sitting at a 4.2 out of 5 on the Epic Games Store. Then-editor Nick was a fan, crediting it with getting him into Soulslikes, but Yahtzee’s Zero Punctuation was less positive, explaining it gave him little reason to go back to it. If you’re a sucker for a soulslike, you’ve nothing to lose by claiming it.

World of Warships DLC – March 13 to March 20

You can also claim some anniversary DLC for World of Warships, which as follows.

• Yūbari, Japanese Tier IV cruiser
• 1 Port slot
• 1 Japanese Commander with 3 skillpoints
• 444,444 Credits
• 44,444 Elite Commander XP
• 4 Epic permanent camouflages
• 4 Common Bonuses containers
• 4 More Signals containers

However, the blurb mentions that the content “..can only be unlocked once with World of Warships game accounts that were created through Epic Games Store.” So if you’ve already got a World of Warships account created through any other platform, you’re out of luck, which is disappointing.

Previous Freebies

How To Get Free Games from the Epic Games Store

If you want to claim these free games or any of the other free games on offer, it’s a pretty simple process. Here’s how to go about it.

1. First, create an Epic Games Store account if you’ve not already got one. You can do that on the Epic Games Store website or by downloading the Epic Games Store launcher from the site.
2. Now go to the web store or launcher and go down to Free Games.
3. Click on the game you want, and you should see a big blue button that says Get. If it says Buy Now, you’re on the wrong page or too late or too early for the giveaway.
4. Click on Get, go through with the checkout (you won’t be charged), and the game is yours to keep.

You’ll have to install the EGS launcher to play them, but you can happily claim them without the launcher and install the launcher later if you go via the EGS web store.

Other Free-to-Play Games on the Epic Games Store

Aside from these weekly giveaways, there are plenty of free-to-play games on the Epic Games Store. You can find these by clicking “View More” next to Free Games.

These may contain micro-transactions, or some other live service element, or be a limited version of the full game. But if you’re looking for something to play that won’t cost you a penny, why not dive in?
