Want some free games? Then head right over to the Epic Games Store because the digital distribution platform is giving away free games to keep if you can claim them in time.
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 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. Here’s the Epic Games Store’s current free game.
Developer: Sweet Bandits Studios
Publisher: Tripwire Presents
Deceive Inc. challenges you to pull the wool over other players’ eyes, not by murdering them but by being the first to plunder each level’s vault and get away unhindered. You can disguise yourself as other NPCs, which will absolutely fool computer-controlled foes but players are more canny. Based on my experience with the game, you’ll spend a portion of your time trying to blend in because the moment an “NPC” bolts you know there’s a human behind the controls.
It’s sitting at Very Positive on Steam, and the Scoundrels & Sentinels update has also dropped, offering map variants, rebalanced gameplay, and more. So, if you’re up for some stealthy shenanigans, this could be one to grab.
Claim Deceive Inc for free from the Epic Games Store
On top of that, there’s additional Apex Legends content that unlocks character Ash and Ash’s ‘Burning Chrome’ Epic Skin, which you can claim here.
What else is on the way? There’s one free game available from November 14.
Developer/Publisher: Konami
Simon Belmont and family were killing vampires long before Buffy ever picked up a stake, and the Castlevania Anniversary Collection is your chance to experience those first few Dracula-busting adventures. The collection includes:
That’s the full collection of 8 and 16-bit Castlevania games, stopping just before the legendary Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The reviews are generally positive, though some players aren’t happy about the way the scanline options are. Still, you’re getting eight Castlevania games for free, including a previously Japanese-only one, so you’ve got no reason not to claim this.
Curious as to what else has been given away? Here’s a list of the last few Epic Games Store giveaways:
If you want to claim these free games or any of the other free games on offer, it’s a pretty simple process. Here’s how to go about it.
You’ll have to install the EGS launcher to play them, but you can happily claim them without the launcher and install the launcher later if you go via the EGS web store.
Aside from these weekly giveaways, there are plenty of free-to-play games on the Epic Games Store. You can find these by clicking “View More” next to Free Games.
These may contain micro-transactions, or some other live service element, or be a limited version of the full game. But if you’re looking for something to play that won’t cost you a penny, why not dive in?
