For the past four years, the Epic Games Store has been a treasure trove for gamers, offering a variety of free games every week. As 2023 unfolds, this tradition continues, with exciting titles up for grabs. If you’re wondering which games are currently available and what’s on the horizon, this article has got you covered.
Epic Games Store’s Current Free Game
As of September 14, the Epic Games Store is offering “911 Operator” as a free download. Gamers have the opportunity to add this game to their collection at no cost until September 21, 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET.
“911 Operator” provides a unique gaming experience by placing players in the role of an emergency dispatcher. Your task is to make critical decisions based on incoming reports, which could range from offering first-aid advice to dispatching the fire department.
Next Week’s Free Games
For those eager to know what’s coming next, the Epic Games Store will offer “Out of Line” and “The Forest Quartet” as free downloads in the upcoming week.
How to Claim Free Games on Epic Games Store
Obtaining free games from the Epic Games Store is a straightforward process. All you need is an Epic Games account, and if you don’t already have one, you can sign up for free. Once you’re logged in, visit the game’s store page, click the prominent “GET” button, and follow the provided instructions to add the game to your account, all without spending a dime.
Weekly Free Game Refresh
Typically, the Epic Games Store refreshes its selection of free games every Thursday at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET. While this is the standard schedule, Epic occasionally spices things up, such as offering a new game every day during special events, as seen last December.
