What’s Free on the Epic Games Store This Week?

Are you stumped on what game to play this week or unsure if you should spend your hard-earned cash on something upcoming? We’ve got the solution. Picking something new to play can be a hassle, especially as gaming costs rise and 2025 continues to look unpredictable for the gaming industry, so why not try out the Epic Games Store? Download a free game each week from the store (sometimes two or three) and keep them forever. Enjoy gaming without spending a dime.

Have you heard of Fortnite? It’s undoubtedly one of the biggest games in popular culture, touching music, TV and more. Even if you’re not a fan, your friends or children likely are. The game’s success led Epic Games to launch its own store, where it’s been giving away a variety of games (from action titles to indie favorites) since 2019 to attract gamers to the platform.

There’s some bad news if you’re a console gamer: You won’t be able to access the Epic Games Store and take advantage of the free games it has on offer. But you’re in luck if you have a desktop PC or a gaming laptop. No matter your PC gaming platform, taking advantage of free discounts and deals is beneficial. Creating an account and claiming a new game each week is easy and costs nothing.

What is the new free game on the Epic Games Store this week? (March 27 to April 3)

Cat Quest

If you’re after an RPG full of loot, combat and ultra-satisfying magic and exploration, then you should run (not walk) to the Epic Games Store and grab Kepler Interactive’s Cat Quest. Did I mention it’s a multi-award-winning experience too? It won awards for Best Adventure/Role Playing Game and Best Art Design at Intel Level Up 2017.

As the furry feline protagonist of this adventure, you’ve been thrust into a quest to fight the evil villain Drakoth and rescue your catnapped sister. Along the way, you’ll meet multiple memorable characters in the world of Felingard, a huge map that’s full of dungeons to loot, side quests galore and enemies to swat your claws. Just typical cat stuff, you know?

Alongside a pawsome adventure, Cat Quest offers so much customization you won’t know what to do with it — particularly if you love donning your character in the best gear possible. There are so many different weapons, armor, spells, and more, each so distinct that you can create a mix of combinations suitable for your play style.

Usually $13, Cat Quest is free via the Epic Games Store now. Released in 2017, most gamers who liked the game greatly enjoy its level of customization. It currently sits at a 4.6 out of 5 rating.

Neko Ghost, Jump

Neko Ghost, Jump is a puzzle-platformer from developer and publisher Burgos Games. In this game, players switch between a 2D and 3D camera perspective, allowing you to solve puzzles by changing perspective.

The most important thing you need to know about Neko Ghost, Jump however is that it’s an early access game — meaning that it’s not yet finished. That said, there’s nothing wrong with downloading the game and playing it when it leaves early access.

Usually $15, Neko Ghost, Jump is free via the Epic Games Store now. As Neko Ghost, Jump is an early access game, players’ opinions of it are still being assessed. If you’re looking to give feedback and help a developer, you can easily do so by playing and reviewing the game on the Epic Games Store.

What will be free on the Epic Games Store next week? (March 27 to April 3)

Mystery game

The Epic Games Store has not announced what its free games will be for next week, which it typically does. We do love a bit of suspense, but that means we can’t tell you what to expect until next week comes around.

Check back next week for more information on the mystery games coming to the Epic Games Store.
