Epic Games free games list: What free games are on the Epic Games Store right now?

Plus a list of all previous free games on the Epic Games Store

What free games are on the Epic Games Store right now? Since it launched in late 2018, the Epic Games Store has become known for giving away one or more of its games each week for free. Not just to play, but to own. Forever.

We think that's something quite special, and worth celebrating. It's also well worth you logging into your Epic account every week or so and adding the new week's free game into your library even if it's not the kind of game you feel like playing. After all, you might change your mind, and it costs you nothing to pick it up and own it forever.

Below we'll highlight which is the currently free game on the Epic Games Store, and which free game is coming up next week. We'll also give you a rundown of every permanently free game on the Epic Store, and every game that has ever been made free as part of Epic's weekly deals, dating all the way back to December 2018.


Epic Games free games: What's free right now?

A female scuba diver swims above a reef with a variety of rocks, coral, and plants. Several dolphins are also swimming in the area.

Beyond Blue (free until April 27)

This gentle indie game allows you to immerse yourself in the atmsophere of the ocean, exploring detailed underwater environments at your own pace.

A small girl in indigenous clothing looks slightly surprised as a white fox presses up close to her face. The area around them is snowy, but seems to be part of a village.

Never Alone (free until April 27)

Prepare to cry until your body is fully desiccated in this puzzle-platformer about a child and her fox friend attempting to avert the end of life as they know it.


What's the next Epic Games free game?

A first-person perspective of an astronaut on a spacewalk using some kind of handheld laser tool to reclaim parts from a derelict spacecraft. Curiously, an orange 20th-century car can be seem among the parts.

Breathedge (free from April 27 - May 4)

This first-person sci-fi survival game tasks you with staying alive and unravelling mysteries in outer space after your craft goes kaput, with only an immortal chicken for company.

A male character in a red baseball shirt and shades lays his hand over a hand of cards on a green baize poker table in front of him. Another character sits off to his side and a wood-panelled room is visible in the background.

Poker Club (free from April 27 - May 4)

Boasting "the most immersive poker simulation ever made", Poker Club is more than just a card game: it's a sports game with a career mode and a multiplayer competitive league.
