If you’re ever in need of something new to play and are a true believer that there’s no such thing as having too many games, you’ll feel right at home on the Epic Games Store — a storefront that, much like Valve’s Steam, allows gamers to buy games to their heart’s content. Furthermore, all you need is a decent gaming PC to take full advantage of everything the Epic Games Store offers, whether it’s free games or great discounts.
The Epic Games Store has been giving away free games weekly since 2019, and it doesn’t look like it’ll be stopping these offers anytime soon. Regardless of what storefront you use, the general rule of thumb is never to look a gift horse in the mouth when it comes to discounts and deals, or ignore freebies. So if you’re not a registered user already, we recommend creating an account so you can download a new game each week.
Read on below to find out previous free game offers from Epic, as well as what’s on offer at the Epic Games Store this week, and the next.
What’s free on the Epic Games Store this week? (Oct. 24-31)
Moving Out
Nobody likes moving their things, and it’s been proven that moving house is one of the most stressful experiences a person can have. Now, imagine if it were a video game.
SMG Studio and Team 17 have teamed up to create a ridiculous, but fun, physics-based moving simulator that brings players together in a new career: moving furniture as a Furniture Arrangement and Relocation Technician! Together with a friend, you’ll be moving furniture from place to place… and hopefully not breaking everything and anything in the process.
You can download Moving Out for free via the Epic Games Store.
What will be free on the Epic Games Store next week? (Oct. 31 – Nov. 7)
Witch It
Barrel Roll Games dares to ask the question ‘what would it be like if you were a witch hunter?’ And it does so in style, with a multiplayer game set in a forest that has players teaming together to gang up on that all important witch — one that just so happened to have cursed their home.
Multiplayer aside, this is just the spooky game a person needs to get into the Halloween spirit and with it being free, a great game to play with friends.
You can download Witch It for free via the Epic Games Store next week.
Ghostwire: Tokyo
From the minds behind The Evil Within horror duology comes Ghostwire: Tokyo, a stylish and sleek action-adventure game that puts players in the shoes of a ghost hunter. Tokyo as they know it is no longer a thing, with the city’s human residents having vanished into thin air, replaced by supernatural and demonic forces that seek to cause harm and spread their malice.
Ghostwire: Tokyo is easily one of the best looking games out there, and with a faithfully rendered (though haunted) Tokyo to explore, what’s not to love?
You can download Ghostwire: Tokyo for free via the Epic Games Store next week.
