Epic Games Store Free Games List 2024

The Epic Games Store first launched in 2018 and since then, the developer has routinely been giving away games. We’ve put together this guide for those of you trying to keep track of every new free game. While also documenting all of them in our lists below sorted by year.

If you take a look at each list you’ll likely notice they give away more during certain seasons. Especially near the end of the year in December when new games pop up daily. Just make sure you don’t miss out when they’re only available for a short time. Unlike the usual week or so given to claim a game permanently.

Current Free Epic Games Store Game in 2024

The current free games are The Big Con and Town of Salem 2 from April 18 to April 25. Make your way to the store page on either a browser or via the launcher to claim it.

The Big Con: “Hustle and grift your way across America in the ‘90s as a teenage con artist on a crime-filled road trip adventure! Play as Ali, a curious and sarcastic high schooler who ditches band camp to go on a cross-country road trip to save her family video store.”

Town of Salem 2: “Step into the Town of Salem, a realm of Mystery and Deceit awaits! Join us in this thrilling online strategy game. Experience paranoia, taste triumph, and confront Murder in every move!”

Next Free Epic Games Store Game

The next two free games are Industria and LISA: The Definitive Edition.

That’s all there is to this guide on every free game that has been given away on the Epic Games Store. One of the reasons I like to see it all laid out is so you can see how many times a game repeats. Which is still a good opportunity for someone if they haven’t gotten something yet. Regardless, we’ll try to keep this article up to date as frequently as we can.
