Fortnite and Unreal Tournament studio Epic Games has been giving away free PC games through its Epic Games Store since its inception in December 2018.

The promotion was a way for the new marketplace to attract users against the juggernaut that is Valve’s Steam service. The company began by offering one game every two weeks, then one game every week, and sometimes two or more games in a given week.

Epic Games even gave away between 12-15 games during the month of December with a different game offered each day as a way to celebrate the holidays.

All that is required to claim the free games is an Epic Games Store account and remembering to “purchase” the game from its respective store page during the week it is available for free. The games do not have to be installed and are kept as long as the Epic Games Store account exists.

Here is a list of every game that has been available for free through the Epic Games Store so far in alphabetical order.
