Want some free games? Then head right over to the Epic Games Store, because the titular company is giving away free games to keep if you can claim them in time.
All Free Games on the Epic Games Store
Every week, the Epic Games Store gives away at least one free game. And we’re not talking about titles that didn’t sell or are that infamously bad. The store has given away everything from little indie games to AAA titles, and all you need to claim them is a free Epic Games Store account. You don’t even have to download the launcher until you want to play them – you can claim them through their respective web pages.
So, what’s on offer right now? There’s one game for free on the Epic Games Store right now. It’s yours to keep if you claim them it now:
Ghostrunner – April 11 – April 18
Developer: One More Level, 3D Realms, Slipgate Ironworks, All in! Games
Publisher: 505 Games
Mirror’s Edge meets Blade Runner meets every ninja movie ever, Ghostrunner is a delicious dose of cyberpunk parkour mayhem, with all the slashing and slo-mo you could ever want. Unless you suffer from vertigo, that is, because as fantastic as this futuristic, wall-hopping slash-em-up is, you definitely don’t want to look down.

Upcoming Free Games on the Epic Games Store
So, what else is on the way? There are two free games dropping next week, so be sure to snap them up when they arrive. Here’s what’s on offer:
The Big Con – April 18 – April 25
Developer: Mighty Yell
Publisher: Skybound Games
The Big Con is a garishly-coloured cartoon adventure which sees you hoodwinking your way across ’90s America, emptying the pockets of as many suckers as you can. At least, that’s one way to approach this road trip.
You’ll also have to choose who’s worthy of being ripped off, so there’s an ethical quandry or two to deal with. Is it worth ripping off someone’s grandma just so you can buy your own bodyweight in Pogs? You’ll have to play The Big Con to find out.
Town of Salem 2 – April 18 – April 25
Developer/Publisher: BlankMediaGames LLC
Pre-dating Among Us by a good four years, the original Town of Salem is a Werewolf-style social deduction game, and this sequel adds more variety to the mix. There are roles aplenty as you forge alliances, lie through your teeth and do whatever it takes to come out on top.
Other Free-to-Play Games on the Epic Games Store
Aside from these weekly giveaways, there are plenty of free-to-play games on the Epic Games Store. These may contain microtransactions or some other live service element. But if you’re looking for something to play that won’t cost you a penny, why not dive in?
