In this article, we will be going over the list of Epic Games Store free games that will be made available through 2022 on the platform for gamers to enjoy.
The Epic Games Store built its name on its favorable revenue share, exclusive titles, and a pretty extensive catalog of free games, which will continue to increase in 2022. The previous year’s offerings included AAA major hitters as well as tiny indie treasures and free-to-play gift bundles. The rebooted Tomb Raider trilogy sets off the list of free titles available on the Epic Games Store in 2022, and this page maintains track of the additional entries that will follow in the subsequent weeks and months.
Until now, the Epic Games Store free games list has grown every week, and they plan this to continue beyond 2022. It’s as simple as making an EGS account, browsing the free game’s shop page, and completing the same steps as if you were purchasing it. The games are free, but you must download them at any time during the week that they are available.
The Epic Games Store free games list for 2022 is updated every week, usually on Thursdays at 8 a.m. PT/4 p.m. GMT, but there have been rare outliers in the past. True, a few titles were given away numerous times, but losing out on one means you’ll have to rely on one of the Epic Games Store’s frequent deals to purchase it for a lower price.
