Unlock Free Games: Epic Games Store Gifting Opportunities

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. Each week, Epic Games Store offers at least one free game, ranging from indie gems to blockbuster titles. It's a fantastic opportunity for gamers to expand their libraries without spending a dime!

Not only do you get the chance to claim these incredible titles, but you can also do so easily through their respective web pages. There’s no need to download the launcher immediately; you can simply add the games to your account and install them later when you're ready to play. Here’s a closer look at what’s available on the Epic Games Store right now!

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.

Witch It – October 31 to November 7

Publisher/Developer: Barrel Roll Games

Can you tell which witch is which? Then Witch It could be the game for you; a magical variation on prop hunt where you track down hidden witches. It looks absolutely gorgeous and is rated Very Positive on Steam.

It’s online co-op only, so you can’t peek over your friends’ shoulders and see where they’re hiding, but there’s a small but active player base. In fact, there are four times as many people playing this via Steam as are playing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, according to SteamDB. Hopefully, it’ll be even easier to get a game now it’s free on the Epic Games Store.

Ghostwire Tokyo – October 31 to November 7

Developer: Tango Gameworks

Publisher: Bethesda Softworks

This isn’t the first time this spooky first-person ghost-busting game has been free; it’s previously been available as a 24-hour freebie. Ghostwire: Tokyo is creepy rather than downright terrifying and is, as Marty Sliva put it, the next best thing to visiting Tokyo.

Aided by a semi-friendly spirit, you’re tasked with undoing a supernatural apocalypse that’s overtaken the Japanese capital. There’s a whole host of urban-legend-inspired enemies to battle, but just roaming around peeking into stores is a delight in itself.

Upcoming Free Games on the Epic Games Store

What else is on the way? There’s one free game available from November 7, plus content for Apex Legends.

Deceive Inc – November 7 to November 14

Developer: Sweet Bandits Studios

Publisher: Tripwire Presents

Deceive Inc. challenges you to pull the wool over other players’ eyes, not by murdering them, but by being the first to plunder each level’s vault and get away unhindered. You can disguise yourself as other NPCs, which will absolutely fool computer-controlled foes but players are more canny.

It’s sitting at Very Positive on Steam, and November 7 is also the date the Scoundrels & Sentinels update drops, promising additional map variants, rebalanced gameplay, and more. So, if you’re up for some stealthy shenanigans, this could be one to grab.
