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

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?

Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition & Guacamelee! 2 (free until June 22)

Though you'll have to claim them individually, this is your chance to own the complete series of the critically acclaimed Mexican wrestling-themed Metroidvania without paying a penny.

What's the next Epic Games free game?

theHunter: Call of the Wild (free June 22-29)

Ruin a perfectly nice walk in the forest by shooting all the peaceful woodland critters in this acclaimed atmospheric and realistic open-world hunting game.

Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms (free June 22-29)

This official Dungeons & Dragons strategy management tie-in game is a treat for fans of the D&D multiverse. While the base game is F2P anyway, claiming during this period will also net you the EGS-exclusive Wulfgar's Legends of Renown Pack (worth $100, apparently).
