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? Here’s the currently available game on the Epic Games Store, which is yours to keep if you claim it now:

Islets – Available Until April 4

Developer: Kyle Thompson

Publisher: Armor Games Studios

Islets is a fantastic little freebie, which we called “A charming, gorgeous Metroidvania,” that sees your mouse protagonist attempting to restore five floating islands to their former glory. Don’t worry – as wholesome as its premise is, there’s plenty of fighting. You even get to take on flying bosses in your snazzy, upgradable aircraft. 

Upcoming Free Games on the Epic Games Store

So, what else is on the way? Here are all the upcoming free games on the Epic Games Store:

The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition – April 4 – April 11

The Outer Worlds: Spacers Choice Edition brings improved visuals and an increased level cap to PS5, Xbox Series, & PC in March 2023 - Obsidian Entertainment Spacer's Choice. his image is part of an article about epic games store free games list - current and upcoming.

Developer: Obsidian Entertainment

Publisher: Private Division

Unlike Starfield, which has a whole galaxy to explore, Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds gives you just a handful of planets to roam. However, this space-based action RPG is all the better for it, packed with side-quests, sci-fi weaponry, and characters you’ll love, hate or love to hate. This edition includes all the DLC for the game, and with a sequel in the works, there’s no better time to catch up with this top-notch sci-fi outing.

Thief (2014 Reboot) – April 4 – April 11

Developer: Eidos Montreal

Publisher: Square Enix

Thief is a reasonably entertaining fantasy game that suffers from being a reboot of one of the most lauded stealth series ever. Roaming a city known as, well, The City, thief Garrett undertakes a series of sneaky missions, ending up knee-deep in intrigue and trouble. Dripping with atmosphere, it doesn’t reach the dizzying heights of the original game, but if the price tag has put you off playing it, now’s your chance.

Freelance contributor at The Escapist. I've returned to writing about games after a couple of career changes, with my recent stint lasting five-plus years. I hope, through my writing work, to settle the karmic debt I incurred by persuading my parents to buy a Mega CD. Aside from writing for The Escapist, I also cover news and more for GameSpew. I've also been published at other sites including VG247, Space, and more. My tastes run to horror, the post-apocalyptic, and beyond, though I'll tackle most things that aren't exclusively sports-based.
