For the past five years, the Epic Games Store has been giving away free PC games each and every week. If you’re looking to boost your collection of PC games without spending any money, there’s no better way to do so. Epic Games is continuing its weekly giveaway in 2024, so for the next 12 months, we’ll be tracking all of the freebies right here.
Epic Games Store free games this week
As of May 2, Orcs Must Die! 3 and Cat Quest II are free to download from the Epic Games Store. The game will be free until May 9 at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET.
Looking for a cute open-world action RPG you can play with a friend? Look no further than Cat Quest II, where you’ll explore a world filled with magic, monsters, and loot. The Cat Quest games are some of the most approachable RPGs on the market.
Tower defense games aren’t as popular as they once were, perhaps partially because Orcs Must Die! 3 all but perfected the formula. Set traps and weapons all around the castle to impede and maim the hordes of oncoming orcs invading your kingdom.
Which games will be free next week?
Circus Electrique and Firestone Free Offer will be available for free on May 9 at 11:00 a.m. ET.
How to get Epic Games Store games for free
In order to download the free games on the Epic Games Store, all you need is an Epic Games account. If you don’t already have one, you can sign up for free right here. Once you’re signed in, just head to the game’s store page, click the big GET button, and follow the instructions to add the game to your account for free.
When do free games refresh every week?
Typically, the Epic Games Store refreshes its freebies every Thursday at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET. Every once in a while, Epic will change the schedule and do something cool, like give away a new game every day, which typically happens around the holiday season.
