Ready for this week’s free Epic Games Store games? With the world continuing to be still turned upside down Covid-19, there’s never been a better time to stay indoors and game. Whether you’re setting out on an epic single-player adventure, or teaming up with your buddies online, video games are the cure all we need right now during these unprecedented times. It’s nice of Epic to give away free games each and every week, then, and we’re rounding up all the freebies below so you don’t miss out.
This week, Epic is giving away NBA 2K21, which is available to download until May 27. The latest entry in the best-selling NBA 2K series, with best-in-class gameplay, online and varied games mode, if you love basketball this is for you.

More free games
As for the other games? Well, Epic is only giving away one game this week.
Epic Games Store is continuing to offer free games every week for the foreseeable future as part of its commitment to winning over gamers. It’s aiming to establish itself as a serious game distribution force, duking it out against the long-standing king of PC gaming, Valve’s Steam platform.
While Epic has courted some controversy through its aggressive approach to securing PC gaming exclusives for its platform, it’s hard to argue against its continued distribution of top-notch free games.
Next week’s games
Can’t wait to get your hands on some more games without spending a penny? Epic is giving away a mystery game, so we’ll have to wait until next week to find out what it could be…
