How Epic's free-game rotation works

Epic Games Store gives away one or more full games on a recurring weekly schedule, with the next window opening before the current one closes so there's no gap in what's claimable. Claiming during the window adds the game to your Epic library permanently — there's no subscription, no payment method required, and nothing to cancel afterward.

Full details and claim links are on our free games page.

Do I need an Epic Games Store account to claim these?

Yes — a free Epic account is required, but nothing beyond that. No payment method needs to be on file to claim a free giveaway.

What happens if I miss the claim window?

The game stops being claimable once its window ends and reverts to its normal price. Epic doesn't guarantee a title returns to a future giveaway, so there's no reliable way to claim a missed one later.

Once claimed, is it really mine to keep?

Yes. A claimed giveaway stays in your Epic library indefinitely, the same as anything you bought outright — it isn't a trial or a rotating subscription perk.
