The Epic Games Store has achieved something that some might have thought impossible considering the stranglehold Steam has on the PC gaming store scene, and that's established a foothold for itself alongside that behemoth. Epic isn't exactly a minor studio, of course, and with games like Fortnite and Rocket League maintaining massive heghts of popularity, when players of those games learn that the studio behind it has its own storefront, that may well be where they go when they're on the hunt for something new to play.

Once you visit Epic's store, you'll discover there are almost always free games waiting to be claimed, and I'm not just talking about the usual suspects like the ones mentioned above. I'm talking about games you usually have to pay for, some of which have been heavy hitters in the past. Knights Of The Old Republic, Control, and the fantastic Guardians of the Galaxy have all been given away for free via the Epic Games Store in the past.
