What free games are on the Epic Games Store right now? Since it launched in late 2018, the Epic Games Store has become known for giving away one or more of its games each week for free. Not just to play, but to own. Forever.

We think that's something quite special, and worth celebrating. It's also well worth you logging into your Epic account every week or so and adding the new week's free game into your library even if it's not the kind of game you feel like playing. After all, you might change your mind, and it costs you nothing to pick it up and own it forever.

Below we'll highlight which is the currently free game on the Epic Games Store, and which free game is coming up next week. We'll also give you a rundown of every permanently free game on the Epic Store, and every game that has ever been made free as part of Epic's weekly deals, dating all the way back to December 2018.


What's the free Epic Game right now?

Death's Gambit: Afterlife (free until August 22)

Death's Gambit: Afterlife is a 2D action platformer with RPG elements. It's a pixelated Soulslike hack and slash that should appeal to fans of Metroidvania games, and similar titles like Hollow Knight, Salt & Sanctuary and the Dark Souls series. If you're interested in other games like this, make sure you check out our best Metroidvania games feature.

World of Warships Starter Pack (free until August 22)

World of Warships is a free-to-play naval warfare game that features real-life warships from throughout history. The game is based around tactical massively multiplayer battles, and if you need a hand with this slower pace of combat for a limited time only Epic Games Store users can claim free DLC to help them out. The headline attraction is the Albany cruiser ship, but the EGS Starter Pack also includes researchable ships, free credits, signals and more.


What's the next Epic Games free game?

Gigantic: Rampage Edition (free from August 22)

Gigantic: Rampage Edition is the definitive version of the hero shooter, which previously was available as a free to play game that got shut down in 2018. Helmed by a former StarCraft and Guild Wars designer, Gigantic is a 5v5 third-person shooter, where players on opposing teams battle to take down the opposition's humongous Guardian. This expanded version of the original game includes new characters, weapons and a brand new mode too. If you want to know more, read our article on the game's announcement.

The Callisto Protocol (free from August 22)

The Calliso Protocol is a survival horror game directed by Glenn Schofield, the creator of the Dead Space games. Like the Isaac Clarke-fronted games, this spiritual successor puts players in the shoes of a character caught up in a nightmare scenario that - this time - breaks out in a prison in space. Horrific monsters have overrun the place, and it's up to you to melee attack, shoot and dodge your way through these terrifying enemies and try to survive this hellish situation. If you want to know more, check out our The Callistol Protocol review.
