What are the free games on the Epic Games Store this week? Each week in 2025, Epic is giving away free games for you to own forever. These games are separate to the free-to-play games available on the store, and you only have one week to claim them.
Epic has given away over $10,000 worth of games since 2018, and it doesn’t look like they’re going to stop any time soon. It’s worth checking in each week to see which games are on offer. Occasionally, you can even redeem in-game goodies and exclusive items for your favorite free PC games. Let’s take a look at the free Epic games right now, and what to expect from upcoming games on the Epic Games Store.
What are the free Epic games this week?
Here’s what’s free on the Epic Store right now:
Dead Island 2
Grab your baseball bat – it’s zombie-slaying time. Deep Silver’s Dead Island 2 transports us to the vibrant boardwalks of “HELL-A” (get it?), for a sun-soaked, blood-soaked vacation from, well, hell. It’s just you, your pals, and all the makeshift weapons you can get your hands on to tear through the zombie hordes. Our Dead Island 2 review deems its “dedication to fun” is a “gory delight.”
Happy Game
We’ve all been plagued by nightmares at one time or another, but Happy Game brings the surreal horror of our subconscious into the waking hours. This psychedelic adventure includes bizarre puzzles, smiley faces, and bunnies. So many bunnies.
