Next week’s free Epic Games Store titles have been announced.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and logic puzzle game The Bridge will be free to claim from Epic’s PC marketplace from March 14-21.
They’ll replace Astro Duel 2, which was released today for PC and Nintendo Switch, and is currently free to claim from the Epic Games Store until March 14.
“Astro Duel 2 is a sci-fi combat game combining top-down space dog fights with up-close platforming action,” according to developer and publisher Wild Rooster.
“Whether versus or co-op, battle through space and on foot at the same time! Strike within the fully-destructible arenas or just nuke ‘em from orbit.”
The European Union said this week it’s investigating Apple’s decision to terminate Epic Games’ developer account, a move which blocks the Fortnite maker from releasing the game and its online store on iOS devices in Europe.
The Epic Games Store had over 270 million customers in 2023, and 75 million monthly active users in December, according to Epic.
Players spent $950 million on the Epic Games Store last year, including $310 million on third-party PC games.
The Epic Games Store gave away 86 free titles in 2023 (down from 99 in 2022). These games had a combined worth of $2,055, and users claimed nearly 586 million free titles (down from 700 million in 2022).
