As the Epic Games Store enters its seventh year in 2025, it continues to provide a favorable revenue model where developers earn a larger portion of the proceeds from their games. In addition to hosting exclusive titles, the storefront maintains its tradition of offering a growing list of free games each week.
Last year’s selection on the Epic Games Store featured a diverse array of games, including major AAA titles, unique indie games, and item packs for several free-to-play games. Highlights included Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, A Plague Tale: Innocence, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition, Thief, Dragon Age Inquisition – Game of the Year Edition, Chivalry 2, The Callisto Protocol, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.
Continuing with this tradition, the lineup of free games available on the Epic Games Store in 2025 starts with a strong showing in Kingdom Come Deliverance. This article provides regular updates on all the new upcoming Free Games as they are released.
What's free this week on the Epic Games Store
Since its debut at the end of 2018, the Epic Games Store’s free games list has generally expanded weekly. Notably, in the latter part of December, there were daily giveaways, a trend that will likely make a comeback in 2025.
To access these free titles, simply set up an EGS account, navigate to the storefront’s section dedicated to free games, and proceed as if making a regular purchase.
While you’ll need to add the games to your cart, they are offered at no cost. It’s important to remember that to claim these games, you must add them to your library during their free period - normally a week.
The Epic Games Store’s free games roster for 2025 is updated every Thursday at 8 AM PT/ 4 PM GMT, though there have been occasional breaks from this schedule.
Over the years, some games have appeared multiple times on the list. If you happen to miss any, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the Epic Games Store’s various sales, where they might be available at a discounted price.

Turmoil
Free on the Epic Games Store: 9th - 16th January

Get a taste of the rush and rivalry of the time as you earn your way to becoming a successful oil entrepreneur. The town will grow with you as you make money digging up and selling oil.
Lease land at the town auction and search for oil. Build a rig, create an efficient pipe network, and bring up the oil to store it in silos. Sell the oil at the best times to maximize profits. Then, buy essential upgrades in town to cope with rock, gas, and ice. Acquire more town shares than your competitors to become the new mayor.
