Epic Games Store is one of the most popular launchers on the PC platform. This is because of the games hosted by the platform exclusive to it. The free games that the launcher gives away every week also help its popularity. Some very popular games like GTA V, Control, Death Stranding, and Prey have been given away for free by the platform.
There is an obvious and natural liking amongst gamers for games they can claim for free. Many companies offer free games to their consumers. For example, Steam has also begun giving away games for free to its users, with no strings attached. Amazon Prime customers also receive free rewards in the form of free titles. Amazon Prime also awards in-game content to its subscribers.
As one can expect there are games that are currently free on the game. The titles currently feature an Indie game with RPG elements as well as a city/civilization builder.
