For more than four years now, the Epic Games Store has regularly given away free games. Every Thursday at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, Epic offers at least one free PC game (sometimes two or three, though!). All you need to do to claim the free games is create a free Epic account and enable two-factor authentication to start snagging freebies. You have a week to add the freebies to your library before the new one(s) take their place. At this point, Epic has given away hundreds of free games, and there’s no sign that the program will stop any time soon. We keep this article up to date weekly to highlight both the current free games and next week’s offerings.
Current free game at Epic
From now until April 13 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, you can claim Dying Light: Enhanced Edition and Shapez. Epic had originally announced that the pirate-themed battle royale game Blazing Sails would be free, but a switch was made. Shapez is a relaxing sim that tasks you with building factories that create shapes. It couldn’t be more different than Dying Light, which is a tense and demanding open-world survival game.
