For the past four years, the Epic Games Store has been giving away free games every week. That trend will continue throughout 2023, and every time new free games go live on the store, we’ll be sure to update this page with the latest selection.

Epic Games Store free games this week

As of June 22, Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms and theHunter: Call of the Wild are free on the Epic Games Store. The game will be free until June 29 at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET.

Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is one of the most popular idle RPGs on the market, with tons of upgrades to unlock and characters from the Dungeons & Dragons universe. The game is free to play, but for a limited time, you can get Wulfgar’s Legends of Renown Pack for free as well, which contains unlocks, chests, and more worth over $100.

If you’re looking for a realistic hunting game, look no further than theHunter. You can explore an open world with friends or on your own as you decide what to hunt. The game has also received a ton of updates since it launched in 2017.

Which games will be free next week?

The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos will be free on the Epic Games Store next week.

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, as was the case last December.
