$30 of free games given by Epic Games store next week. How can you claim them before it's too late?

Good news for Epic Games lover! Another slate of free games available to redeem on the Epic Games Store another week. The PC gaming digital storefront allows players to add games to their library for free every week. This week’s entries may not be nearly as exciting as any of those, but they may still be worth grabbing, especially as players who do so will save $30 in doing so.

From August 14 – 21, 2025 in the Epic Games Store mobile app, you can download Hidden Folks for free on Android worldwide and iOS in the European Union.

Epic Games store gives away free games

At present, there are two free games for PC available on Epic Games Store, and they are about to expire on August 14, 2025, at UTC 15:00. After that, a new set of freebies will go live, and the storefront will also reveal what's in store for the period from August 21 to August 28 with this update on the free game section, according to Comic Book.

In a surprise twist ahead of the official announcement, trusted leaker MeguminShiro has spilled the beans on what the Epic Games Store will be giving away soon — and PC gamers are in for a treat. The headline freebie? The indie hit Strange Horticulture.

But that’s not all. The first free game that players will also get their hands on Hidden Folks, a charming yet deceptively challenging puzzle game by Adriaan de Jongh.

Much like a hand-drawn Where’s Waldo, it tasks you with spotting specific targets in beautifully illustrated scenes. Don’t be fooled by its simple look — it’s been showered with praise from both gamers and critics.

On Steam, where it normally costs $14.99, it boasts an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating across more than 7,000 reviews, and it holds an impressive 83 Metacritic score from 8 critics.

The second free game given away by Epic Games is Totally Reliable Delivery Service, a physics-based sandbox where chaos is part of the job. Your mission: deliver packages by any means necessary — whether that’s driving, flying, or flat-out crashing your way through.

Usually priced at $14.99, it’s not quite as critically acclaimed as Hidden Folks, but still enjoys a “Very Positive” rating on Steam and a 64 Metacritic score from 6 reviews.

What can you expect from free Epic Games Store games?
