The Epic Games Store has started offering free games to attract customers who create an account and start expanding the crowds of registered users. At that time, the company made it known that it would not stop this practice until it forced other platforms (especially Steam) to change their behavior towards game developers and start offering them larger shares. As far as we know, this never happened in the case of Steam, so it’s no wonder that Epic Games Store has not stopped offering free games and will not stop for the foreseeable future. –

Thanks to the Epic Games Store, those interested could add titles such as Grand Theft Auto V, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Star Wars Battleground 2, Borderlands 2, Hitman, Metro 2033, Civilization VI and more to their library for free. It is the most generous platform in this respect. Now, in addition, its representatives have told us that the offer of free games, which are changed every Thursday afternoon, will remain here during this year.
In addition, the Epic Games Store said that the number of registered players has now exceeded 160 million, and it can be suspected that many of them were attracted by the offer of free games, rather than really buying something. The company also recognizes that more relevant than the simple number of registrations is how many users are regularly active, reaching 31.3 million people logging in to their accounts each day. The maximum number of registered users reached 13 million last year, while a year earlier it was only 9 million. The Epic Games Store is undoubtedly growing, as evidenced by the number of logged-in users during the last December, which grew from 32 to 56 million year on year.
The Epic Games Store is certainly used by a large number of people who only occasionally add a free game to their library that will interest them. This distorts the overall numbers, but they are growing and today this platform can be considered more or less half Steam in terms of active players. But there is still something to catch up with, especially with regard to the functions of trade, which are gradually being expanded, but that is still not the case. This year, Epic wants to focus mainly on the social side, player profiles and also achievements.
And as for the next offer of free games, it is currently the indie hopper Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition and from Thursday there will be a rogue like strategy For the King.
