The Epic Games store offers you one or more games for free each week. This does not change in 2025. All you need to do is head to your Epic Games Launcher and scroll down to the free game of the week section. If you are interested, you can simply add the free game to your library! It will then always be accessible whenever you feel like playing!
How Does It Work?
Every week, the Epic Games Store gives away at least one game completely free of charge. These titles range from well-known AAA games to hidden indie masterpieces, with something for just about every kind of gamer. Past giveaways have included games like Control, Death Stranding, and Celeste—all for free.
Here is how it works: Every Thursday at 5 PM (UTC+1), Epic replaces the current free game with a new one. Once you claim a free game, it is yours to keep forever—you just need an Epic Games account and the Epic Games Launcher to play it. There are no strings attached, no subscriptions required.
It is a great way to slowly build up your game library, especially if you are open to trying new genres or indie titles you might have otherwise overlooked. It is also a good way to simply get games for free in a time when everything is more expensive.
This Week’s Free Game: Cat Quest II
From April 4 to April 11, Epic is offering Cat Quest II as its free game of the week.
Developed by The Gentlebros, Cat Quest II is a light-hearted 2D action RPG set in the colorful world of Felingard. You do not need the first game to play the second one, and you can play solo or with a friend!
The story follows two unusual heroes—a cat and a dog—on a journey to reclaim their respective thrones. If you play solo, you will be switching between the two characters, and if you team up with a friend, each one of you will play one of them.
The gameplay is a fast-paced real-time combat. You can use spells, swap weapons, and explore a wide open world filled with dungeons, loot, and side quests. It is really like a small RPG, but with cats. The game keeps things simple and accessible. However, there is enough depth and charm to keep both casual players and RPG fans entertained.
It also has an adorable art style, very funny writing, and an easy pick-up-and-play design. By that, we mean there are no over-complicated mechanics or things to know. You can simply download it and start enjoying it right away. Cat Quest II is a purr-fect addition to anyone’s game library ,especially for free.
