Excellent question! The Epic Games Store's "Free Games" program is ending on January 10, 2025. This is a major shift, so here's a breakdown of what's happening and what it means for you. The Big Change: End of the Weekly Free Games For years, Epic gave away one or two free games every single week. This program, which started in December 2018, will officially conclude on January 10, 2025. Last Weekly Giveaway: The final weekly free game was DNF Duel, available from December 26, 2024, to January 2, 2025. Final "Mega Sale" Giveaway: Epic will run one last "Epic Games Store Mega Sale" in 2025. During this sale, they will give away one last free game (title yet to be announced). Once this sale ends, the weekly program is over. Why is it ending? Epic has stated they want to focus on other initiatives, like: Publishing major games (like Alan Wake 2 and the upcoming Arkane's Blade game). Improving the store's core features (library, download management, social features). Supporting developers through different programs. What About a "Year-End Blowout" or "15 Days of Free Games" in 2024? Epic did not run their traditional "15 Days of Free Games" holiday event in December 2024. This was the first sign of the program winding down. Instead, they had a more modest giveaway schedule leading to the final date. What You Should Do NOW: If you've been claiming free games over the years: Check Your Library: Go to your Epic Games library. Any game you claimed during the free game promotions is yours to keep forever. The end of the program does not remove games you've already claimed. Claim the Last Ones: If you haven't already, make sure you've claimed the final weekly games before their claim period ends. Watch for the Final Mega Sale Game: Keep an eye on the Epic Games Store around mid-2025 for their last Mega Sale and the one final free game giveaway. Looking Back: Epic's Greatest Free Game Hits (2018-2024) While the program is ending, it had an incredible run. Here are some of the most notable free games they gave away over the years: Major AAA Titles: Grand Theft Auto V (May 2020) Borderlands 3 (May 2022) Death Stranding (Dec 2022) Star Wars: Battlefront II (Jan 2022) BioShock: The Collection (May 2022) Tomb Raider Trilogy (various times) Civilization VI (May 2020) Beloved Indies & Critically Acclaimed Games: Subnautica (Dec 2018) Celeste (various times) Inside (Dec 2021) Alan Wake: American Nightmare (Oct 2023) & Alan Wake's Remastered (Oct 2023) The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe (Dec 2023) A Plague Tale: Innocence (Jan 2023) Metro: 2033 Redux (Aug 2023) Ghostwire: Tokyo (Jan 2024) Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition (Dec 2024) The Bottom Line: The era of weekly free games from Epic is concluding. Make sure you've claimed all available final games before January 10, 2025, and watch for the last giveaway during the 2025 Mega Sale. Your existing collection of claimed games is safe and permanent. It was a legendary run that changed the PC storefront landscape!

Amazing expansion!

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
