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.

Castlevania Anniversary Collection – November 14 to November 21

Developer/Publisher: Konami

Simon Belmont and family were killing vampires long before Buffy ever picked up a stake, and the Castlevania Anniversary Collection is your chance to experience those first few Dracula-busting adventures. The collection includes:

• Castlevania
• Castlevania II Simon’s Quest
• Castlevania III Dracula’s Curse
• Super Castlevania IV
• Castlevania The Adventure
• Castlevania II Belmont’s Revenge
• Castlevania Bloodlines
• Kid Dracula (never released in English before)
• History of Castlevania – Book of the Crescent Moon

That’s the full collection of 8 and 16-bit Castlevania games, stopping just before the legendary Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The reviews are generally positive, though some players aren’t happy about the way the scanline options are. Still, you’re getting eight Castlevania games for free, including a previously Japanese-only one, so you’ve got no reason not to claim this.

Snakebird Complete – November 14 to November 21

Developer/publisher: Noumenon Games

A surprise addition to this week’s free games, Snakebird Complete is an adorable but tricky puzzler where you guide the titular snakebirds on a fruit-eating adventure. The catch is that, unlike top-down snake games, you’ve got gravity to contend with.

One wrong move and you’re stuck, particularly when you have multiple snakebirds to control. Fortunately, you can undo moves, and if this all sounds a little familiar, don’t worry. Snakebird Complete has previously been free on the Epic Games Store, though only for a day.

Upcoming Free Games on the Epic Games Store

What else is on the way? There’s one free game available from November 21.

Beholder – November 21 to November 28

Developer: Alawar Stargaze (Warm Lamp Games)

Publisher: Alawar

Landlords have a mixed reputation at the best of times, but in Beholder, you can be a living nightmare for your tenants. Working for the state, you’ve been put in charge of an apartment block, listening in on the residents and reporting to Big Brother.

We had good things to say about Beholder when we reviewed it, way back in 2016. “It’s an interactive moral dilemma that will force players to rethink everything they thought they knew about themselves”, Liz Finnegan remarked. Now, with this freebie, it’s your chance to test your moral character.

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?
