What's free on the Epic Games Store right now?
As it did in 2019, the Epic Games Store is enticing customers to rely on its developing storefront by releasing one game for free every week in 2020. That's right, completely free! No strings attached, except the one tied to Epic's storefront.
Even if you already own the current free games or don't plan on playing them anytime soon, you might as well login and add them to your library. Keep checking in here to see what's free right now and what's coming in the future. We've also listed the full history of Epic's giveaways, so you can see what's already been given away.
For games that are free every week, check out our lists of best free PC games, best free games on Steam, and beset browser games.
Epic Games Store: what's free right now
August 6 - August 13, 2020: 3 Out of 10 Episode 1, Wilmot's Warehouse
The maker of Tower of Guns and MotherGunship is debuting their newest game, a "playable sitcom" about a game development studio, on the Epic Games Store at the very cool price of free. The premise is very unique for an adventure game, and we just don't get enough of those nowadays.
Wilmot's Warehouse is a management sim/puzzle game hybrid about overseeing a warehouse and shaping up your organizational skills. I can totally see entering a zen state while neatly grouping boxes of oranges, so it's getting a download from me.
Another recent addition to the Epic Store this week appears to be achievements. Details on the rollout are a bit muddy, but we have spotted them in Ark: Survival Evolved so far.
