Epic Games Store gives away free video games on a weekly basis! They've given away over 200 games since this amazing freebie started back in 2019 and is still on-going as of 2023! 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 June 8 at 10:00am.
- Midnight Ghost Hunt – $19.99 Value!
Lying in wait across a series of cursed locations, relentless spirits stalk the halls. Assigned to eliminate them are the Ghost Hunters, armed to the teeth with the ghoul-busting tech to banish them to another realm! Play both Ghost and Hunter in a chaotic 4v4 struggle between the living and the dead. As a Ghost, conceal yourself inside seemingly harmless pieces of furniture to evade preying Hunters… but when their backs are turned, turn the environment against them with telekinetic bombardment. No chair, lamp, or grandfather clock is innocent in this hijinks-heavy frenzy. The fun isn’t over yet…when the clock strikes twelve, the witching hour begins, and the Hunters become the Hunted. The tables turn and Ghosts become supercharged, giving Hunters a limited amount of time to survive their vengeful wrath.
These games typically retail around $20-$40 and are such a great deal since you keep them forever! Even if you don't intend to play the game now, it's nice having a free pool of new games to try out whenever the mood strikes.
