2 Great RPGs Are Free At Epic Right Now
The Epic Games Store’s free games program has been running strong for two years now. We know that freebies will keep coming until at least the end of the year. Every Thursday at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, Epic offers up one, two, or occasionally three free games–no strings attached. After claiming the games, you get to keep them in your library forever. To start partaking in the free games program, you merely need to create a free Epic account and enable two-factor authentication. We update this article weekly to highlight the current and upcoming free games you can snag at the Epic Games Store.
This week’s free games at Epic
From now until December 17 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, you can claim a pair of freebies: Pillars of Eternity – Definitive edition and Tyranny’s Gold edition. Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity is one of the best modern role-playing games and serves as a spiritual successor to classic PC RPGs such as Baldur’s Gate. Tyranny, like Pillars of Eternity, was developed by Obsidian and is also designed like classic PC role-playing games. So if you’re a fan of RPGs, you should certainly claim both of these great games this week.
Next week’s free games at Epic
Epic regularly reveals the freebies you have to look forward to a week in advance, but next week will be a tad different. Just like last holiday, Epic is giving away a free game every day starting December 17. You’ll be able to snag 15 games in all (one each day), so make sure to check back next week. Epic hasn’t revealed any of the holiday freebies just yet, but last year’s offerings included some great titles.
Epic Games Store free games list
We’re keeping a running list of every free game that Epic users have been able to claim in the past. From AAA hits to indie darlings, Epic has really made its mark with free games. Even if you don’t own a PC capable of playing some of these games right now, it’s still well worth your while to snag the free games as they become available–just look at this star-studded list of games that you may have missed out on so far.
