The Epic Games Store continues to give away a free game each week, and this week is another nice find with a price that can't be beaten. Every Thursday at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, Epic offers at least one free PC game (and sometimes even as many as two or three). All you need to do to claim the free games is create a free Epic account and enable two-factor authentication. 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. The company has also extended its freebies to Android devices, and you can claim a free game every week here as well. We keep this article up to date weekly to highlight both the current free games and next week's offerings.
If you're looking for more freebies, you can check out our list of the 25 best free PC games to play in 2025, or for more options, the 25 best free games to play in 2025 on multiple platforms.
This week, you can grab Amnesia: The Bunker and Samorost 3 for free. Arriving just in time for the spooky season, Amnesia: The Bunker is a first-person horror game set in the trenches of World War I. As a soldier trapped on the frontlines, you'll have to keep the lights on if you want to escape a relentless monster stalking you. Samorost 3 is a surreal puzzle game from the creators of Machinarium and Botanicula, and it features a handcrafted art direction.
Next week, you can pick up the ghoulish game Fear the Spotlight. This was published by Blumhouse Games and it was released last year, with developer Cozy Game Pals calling it an atmospheric third-person horror adventure where players are tasked with solving a disturbing mystery.
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. You can even snag these games if you don't have a powerful PC so you can play them if you ever get one. Look at the list below to see the frankly ridiculous list of free games that have been available.
