Epic Games Store Reportedly Renewing Free Game Offers

When it comes to PC gaming, there are several digital marketplaces you can browse through. However, you can easily argue that the biggest is Valve’s Steam. This has been the go-to source for picking up PC video game titles for years. There’s also a slew of notable features to connect communities and friends. As a result, it has been an uphill battle to dethrone Valve. However, Epic has been striving to compete and gain more consumers on its platform, the Epic Games Store. 

There have been a few areas in which Epic has attempted to get more eyes on the Epic Games Store and away from Steam. For instance, there are several deals to ensure that PC games are becoming more exclusive to Epic Games Store. There’s even a better revenue cut for those who use Epic and bypass other digital storefront outlets. However, that hasn’t been the most welcomed tactic for some players. Fortunately, one area has appealed to players, and that’s the free weekly video game offers. Each week, the Epic Games Store provides players with access to a free video game title to claim. 

These games are free and remain in your account even after they are removed as a free title to claim. Likewise, these games can vary in genre and the actual size of the game. We’ve seen some indie gems to AAA titles being offered. Today, there’s even a free offer for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. All that players need to do is create a free account on the Epic Games Store, and from there, they just have to claim their copy of the game. Now, you’ll find these games in your digital library whenever you wish to download and play through the games. 

With that said, we’re now in 2024, and it looks like we are going to see another year of free weekly video games. Thanks to a report from Dealabs’ billbil-kun, who has been a reliable industry insider, we should see Epic continue this trend. The insider reported that they are expecting the same trend of free games to continue with a reveal already confirmed that next week’s free game offer is Sail Forth. The industry insider also claimed that it is believed the following free game offer will be LOVE. 

Epic has been offering free games for a few years now, and each week, there’s something new to enjoy. So even if you don’t purchase a game from the Epic Games Store, you can easily build up an extensive library of titles just from these free game offers.
