FREE GAMES FAQ
Questions people ask about free PC games
What PC games are free this week?
The Epic section uses the current Epic Games Store feed for active and upcoming free-to-keep offers. Additional giveaway leads may be aggregated through GamerPower and should be verified on their final destination pages. The small Steam section is a preview of permanently free-to-play games and is separate from limited-time giveaways.
Are Epic Games Store free games free forever?
Yes. According to Epic's official FAQ, once you claim a free game during its promotional window it stays in your library permanently, even after it returns to full price. You do not need to download it right away to keep it.
When do new free games release on the Epic Games Store?
Epic refreshes its free games every Thursday, usually at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET. Each giveaway is available for about seven days before the next batch replaces it. During some holiday events Epic switches to daily drops.
How do I claim a free PC game on Epic?
Sign in to your free Epic Games account (with two-factor authentication enabled), open the store page for the free game, click Get, and complete the checkout — the total shows $0.00. The game is then added to your library permanently. Always confirm the final price on the official store page.
What is the difference between free-to-keep and free-to-play?
A free-to-keep giveaway (like Epic's weekly games) must be claimed before its deadline, after which it is yours to own. A free-to-play game (many popular Steam titles) has no claim deadline and is always free to start, though it can include optional in-game purchases.
