The next free Epic Games Store titles have been announced

Next week’s free Epic Games Store titles have been confirmed.

XCOM 2 and Insurmountable will be free to download from Epic’s marketplace from April 14-21.

They will take the place of Rogue Legacy and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, both of which are now free until April 14.

The Epic Games Store gave away 89 free titles last year (down from 103 in 2020), with a combined worth of $2,120.

According to Epic, which released Unreal Engine 5 on Tuesday, users claimed over 765 million free games in 2021.

Epic and the Lego Group announced earlier on Thursday that they’ve entered a long-term partnership “to shape the future of the metaverse to make it safe and fun for children and families”.

They plan to create a digital experience designed to “give kids access to tools that will empower them to become confident creators and deliver amazing play opportunities in a safe and positive space”.
