Although playing video games on a computer is always somewhat cheaper than, for example, on consoles, it never hurts if we can get free games on PC. Today we are going to talk about how you can get at least one free game every week.
We are not talking about those free games called free-to-play that can always be downloaded at no cost and that generally have micropayments inside, but full games with a price that you can get without paying once a week.
Epic Games Store, more than a game store
The Epic Games digital store , launched at the end of 2018, has been having a most interesting promotion since its inception. It has a “Free Games” section in which every week there is at least one featured game, renewed weekly (generally every Thursday at 5:00 p.m., according to Spanish peninsular time).
As we mentioned, this section is not intended for free-to-play games, but they are titles that have a certain cost outside of promotion. Generally there is a weekly game to download , but there are promotional periods like right now with Black Friday, at The Game Awards or Christmas in which there may be several.
If you want to try, right now you have available:
- Dark Deity (before 21.99 euros)
- Evil Dead: The Game (39.99 euros)
By simply creating a free account in the store, either directly from Epic Games (which you will surely have if you play Fortnite) or by linking to Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Steam, Apple, Google or Apple, the user will be able to add these games at a discount to your library for a short period of time. From then on, the account holder can play these games indefinitely .
Save hundreds of euros every year
Taking into account the level of titles that this service makes available to its users simply by having created an account in the Epic Games Store, each year you can save hundreds and even thousands of euros , without exaggeration.
We are going to take as an example what has been given away only so far in 2022 so that you get a better idea of how great this promotion is to have all these games on your face:

To give you an idea, PCGamesN added the value of the 108 free games that the Epic Games Store had given away since its promotions began until the summer of 2020, taking into account the regular price of the base version of each of these titles for Thus giving a better idea of the value of these gifts and the calculation gave a sum of $ 2,140 that the Epic Games Store had given away in games. Imagine more than 2 years later what the updated figure will be.
