Epic Games has unveiled an exciting expansion of its free games initiative, promising a wealth of complimentary titles for PC gamers throughout 2025. This announcement is part of a broader reflection on the Epic Games Store, aptly titled “Epic Games Store 2024 Year in Review.” Over the past five years, this promotion has become a hallmark of the digital storefront, delighting users with a steady stream of free offerings.
A Look Back at 2024
In 2024 alone, Epic Games Store users enjoyed an impressive array of 89 free giveaways, collectively valued at over ,000. While the fervor surrounding these promotions may have waned slightly, Epic Games remains optimistic about their impact. The company has confirmed that the free games initiative will persist into 2025, extending its reach to both PC and mobile platforms, although no promises have been made for 2026 or beyond.
“Lastly, our Free Games Program has continued to deliver PC favorites to new audiences for the 5th year running,” the announcement stated. “Epic players stocked their libraries with over ,000 USD worth of great PC titles across 89 giveaways. The program is not slowing down and will continue in 2025, on both PC and mobile. We extend our sincere gratitude to the developers, publishers, players, and creators who continue to work with us to make this all possible.”
This commitment to providing free games is a welcome development for users of the Epic Games Store, especially since there had been no prior assurances regarding the continuation of the program. Currently, the store features two complimentary titles, including a game that launched in 2024. Additionally, players of Apex Legends can take advantage of a cosmetic bundle available exclusively through the Epic Games Store launcher.
Looking ahead, gamers can anticipate even more free offerings, with titles like Garden Story and World War Z: Aftermath set to become available on February 20.
