Epic Games Store users have until October 9 to claim the latest freebies across PC and mobile. Most Epic Games Store users are likely well aware that there are free games to claim on PC every Thursday at 10:00am CT. What some EGS users may not realize, though, is that there are also free mobile games to snag on a weekly basis as well.
Compared to the free PC game giveaways, the Epic Games Store free mobile games are a relatively new phenomenon. There are times when the EGS free mobile games overlap with the PC games, and so they get less attention, but there are also times when the mobile game offerings are completely unique. The latest Epic Games Store freebies lie somewhere in the middle.
October’s Epic Games Store Free Games Might Learn From April’s Mistakes
The last two sets of Epic Games Store freebies might clue fans in on what they can expect throughout October, learning from a folly in April.
On the PC front, there are two freebies for Epic Games Store users to claim right now. On one hand, Epic Games Store users can claim a Firestone Online Idle RPG bundle with $100 worth of content, and on the other, they can snag survival game Nightingale. Mobile users, meanwhile, also have the Firestone Online Idle RPG bundle to take advantage of, but instead of Nightingale, they can get puzzle game Doodle Devil: Dark Side. So someone using the Epic Games Store on PC and mobile can technically get three freebies this week instead of just two. These freebies will be available until Thursday, October 9 at 10:00am CT, at which point they will be replaced by the next batch of free offerings.

One big difference between the Epic Games Store free mobile games and the free PC games is that users aren't clued in on what next week's mobile game offerings will bring to the table. On PC, we know that the Firestone Online Idle RPG bundle and Nightingale will be replaced by Gravity Circuit and the Rogue Journeyman bundle for Albion Online, which will be free from October 9 to October 16.
Looking further ahead, there are exciting times on the horizon for Epic Games Store users. The Epic Games Store free mystery game promotion will almost certainly return in December, and it will be interesting to see how it's handled on the mobile front. It's possible that the mystery games will only be on PC and the mobile giveaways will be business as usual, but that remains to be seen. EGS users should keep an eye out for more info.
