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.
Epic Games free games: What’s free right now?
Recipe For Disaster (free until February 16)
The latest game to be made free for a short time on the Epic Games Store is Recipe For Disaster, a restaurant management sim which puts you in charge of both the front and the back ends of a busy restaurant. In Recipe For Disaster you’ll have the ability to create, cook, and serve your own recipes from scratch. But you’ll also need to deal with the more managerial side of things, ensuring that your kitchen and its staff run like a well oiled machine, adhering to customers’ varying tastes and dietary requirements, and more.
What’s the next Epic Games free game?
Warpips (free from February 16-23)
Warpips is soon to become the next free game on the Epic Games Store. It’s a cheap, cheerful, explosion-filled wartime RTS, with an emphasis on fast games and no need for lots of micromanagement. This should be good news for players who don’t feel like they have fast enough fingers for more complex real-time strategies like Age Of Empires or StarCraft. Each game in Warpips takes place across a single long map, and operates like a tug-of-war battle, where the strategy comes not in moving around your units but in choosing which units to deploy from your starting position at the very edge of the map.
What games on Epic Games are always free?
One of the biggest selling points of the Epic Games Store is the frequency with which games are made free to play (and keep) for a short while. But there are also plenty of permanently free games available on the Epic Store. We’ve listed them below:
