Each week, Epic Games Store gives away free games to its user base. In the past these have ranged from Grand Theft Auto V, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Alien Isolation, NBA 2K21, Celeste, and most recently Control.

Players have one week to claim the games before they cycle out, but they will remain in your library forever and aren’t timed play days.

The next free games have gone live and two titles are on offer this week, and we already know the two for next week as well.

The Latest Free Games On Epic Games Store

Each Thursday at 11 am EST/4 pm BST the latest free game on Epic Games Store goes live, these can range from small indie titles to huge AAA releases.
