Epic Games Store users have less than a day to claim the latest free games on the platform. Every Thursday at 10am CT, the Epic Games Store updates its selection of free games. The previously-available free games are rotated out of availability, and a fresh batch of games is added in their place. Sometimes the Epic Games Store freebies are big, blockbuster releases, but most of the time they are smaller-scale indie games.
The current Epic Games Store free games are Eastern Exorcist and Jorel's Brother and The Most Important Game of the Galaxy. For those who are unfamiliar with the games, Eastern Exorcist is a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure RPG where players fight demons with stylish combat. The game earned mostly positive reviews at the time of its original release in 2021. Jorel's Brother and The Most Important Game of the Galaxy, meanwhile, was released in 2023 and is a point-and-click adventure game inspired by the classics of the genre.
The Epic Games Store Free Games for October 2 Are a Bonafide Steal
The Epic Games Store free games promotion continues into October, and the upcoming titles that kick the month off are two different kinds of valuable.
Epic Games Store users have until Thursday, October 2 at 10:00am CT to claim Eastern Exorcist and Jorel's Brother and The Most Important Game of the Galaxy. At that point, both games will be taken away and replaced by the next Epic Games Store freebies. From October 2 to October 9, Epic Games Store users can claim $100 worth of content in the free-to-play game Firestone Online Idle RPG. They will also be able to claim Nightingale, a game that typically costs $29.99, completely free of charge. Like most other Epic Games Store free games, those freebies will be up for grabs for a week and then replaced, so PC gamers should make sure to claim them while they still can.
Current Epic Games Store Free Games
- Eastern Exorcist (until October 2 at 10:00am CT
- Jorel's Brother and The Most Important Game of the Galaxy (until October 2 at 10:00am CT)
- Firestone Online Idle RPG $100 Bundle (October 2 - October 9)
- Nightingale (October 2 - October 9)
Firestone Online Idle RPG is exactly as its name implies - an idle RPG. Nightingale, meanwhile, is a fantasy survival game where players collect resources, craft items, and build structures, as is typical of the genre. Nightingale was first released in early access in 2024 and has yet to reach its 1.0 state. Being able to try it completely free of charge is definitely appealing though and should be exciting for fans of the survival game genre.
The Epic Games Store free games aren't the only freebies that PC gamers can claim right now. Over on Steam, Snake Eyes Dungeon is free to claim and keep as long as one does so by October 3 at 12:00pm CT. PC gamers can look forward to more free games across Steam and the Epic Games Store in the weeks ahead.
