Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to download the games immediately after claiming them?
No. You only need to “claim” the game through the store interface while it is free. Once added to your account, it is yours to download and play whenever you choose.
What happens if I miss the claim window?
Once the free promotion ends—typically on a Thursday—the game returns to its standard retail price. You can no longer claim it for free after the promotion expires.
Are there any hidden costs to the Epic Games free games?
No. The program is a promotional strategy. You do not need to provide payment information to claim free titles, and there is no recurring fee associated with the games you collect.
