While Epic Games Store has been a little slow adopting some common features, it’s making up for such a pace by giving away a constant stream of free games on its storefront. If you’ve kept on top of these since its launch, you’ll have a massive library of games without paying a penny. This has brought millions of new users into the fold, so the strategy is definitely working.
Right now, you can pick up Tacoma on the store for free, this will be followed by 20XX, Barony and Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP in the coming days. The Summer Sale is also taking place right now, placing digital discounts on the majority of games across the storefront. You can grab some pretty wonderful bargains, plenty of which remain exclusive to the storefron such as Control and Ooblets.
