Epic Games Store gives away free video games on a weekly basis! They've given away over 250 games since this amazing freebie started back in 2019 and is still on-going as of 2025! Each week, on Thursday, at 8am PT / 11am ET, Epic releases one to three free games!
These high-value games are available only for a week to checkout & download for free. However, once you go through the checkout process (with no payment method required), the computer game is yours to keep permanently forever! It will be added to your account and free to download, even after the giveaway ends.
The free Epic Games video games page also shows both the current week freebies and the upcoming next week free games.
The current games are available through April 24 at 10:00am.
