Epic Games Store Surprise Giveaway and New Free Game Plans

Key Takeaways

1. Epic Games Store plans to continue free game giveaways in 2025, without slowing down on PC or mobile platforms.
2. The frequency of mobile game giveaways on Android and iOS will now match the desktop schedule, moving to weekly updates.
3. New free mobile games will be available each Thursday at approximately 15:00 UTC.
4. Epic Games has replaced KOTOR and KOTOR II with new mobile games, Eastern Exorcist and Super Meat Boy Forever, valued at $9.96 together.
5. Users must be logged into their Epic Games account to redeem mobile games and should check for installation instructions for the mobile store.

Little over a month ago, the Epic Games Store announced its plans for giving away free games in 2025. Just to summarize, the store said it wouldn’t be ‘slowing down’ on either PC or mobile, even though it only just started the mobile part at the end of January.

Changes in Mobile Game Giveaways

Now, it has adjusted the frequency of free game giveaways on Android and iOS. Up until now, the mobile program was updated every month. But now, it’s going to match the schedule of its desktop version, which received a new Jurassic Park-themed game earlier today (currently priced at $35 on Amazon).

As a result, users can look forward to new free Android and iOS games dropping next week and each Thursday after that. In theory, new mobile games should be available at 15:00 UTC. However, recent mobile giveaways have usually refreshed just after that time, rather than exactly on the hour, like the desktop ones.

New Additions to the Mobile Lineup

In this context, Epic Games has replaced Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) and its sequel, KOTOR II: The Sith Lords, with a fresh lineup of mobile games valued at $9.96 when redeemed together. Remember that you’ll need to be logged into your Epic Games account to get both Eastern Exorcist and Super Meat Boy Forever on both platforms through a browser. Be sure to check Epic Games’ latest instructions for installing its mobile store on Android and iOS.
