Summary

  • PC gamers can get free games from the Epic Games Store and Microsoft right now.
  • Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery is currently free on the Epic Games Store.
  • Romopolis and Hero of the Kingdom: The Lost Tales 1 are free through Microsoft.

PC gamers currently have three titles that they can add to their digital libraries without paying a dime. One of the many benefits of PC gaming is the regular access to no strings attached free games that do not require any kind of subscription service. PC gamers are treated to multiple free games every single month, with the Epic Games Store being one of the more reliable platforms for freebies.

Every Thursday, the Epic Games Store free games lineup is updated with something new for PC gamers to snag. The Epic Games Store free games range from big budget releases to smaller indie games, and while it often skews to the latter, there is genuine variety when it comes to the giveaways. The Epic Games Store is the source of one of the free games that PC gamers can claim right now, but the other two come courtesy of Microsoft.

Right now, PC gamers can claim Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery from the Epic Games Store and Romopolis and Hero of the Kingdom: The Lost Tales 1 from Microsoft. Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery is a puzzle game with an art style that is highly reminiscent of Studio Ghibli movies. Romopolis, meanwhile, is a city building game where players build their own Roman city. And finally, Hero of the Kingdom: The Lost Tales 1 is a fantasy RPG that has "Very Positive" reviews on Steam. The two free Microsoft games are only available for two more days, so PC gamers interested should be sure to grab them ASAP. Behind the Frame, meanwhile, is free on the Epic Games Store until Thursday, January 30, at which point it will be replaced by next week's freebie.

Free PC Games for January 2025

When the Epic Games Store is not hosting one of its free mystery game promotions, it always lets fans know what the next free game is going to be. On January 30, PC gamers will be able to claim zombie survival game Undying for free through the Epic Games Store. Like Behind the Frame, Undying will be free for a week before it is replaced, though it's anyone's guess as to what the replacement free game will be.

In the meantime, February 2025 will bring at least four free games through the Epic Games Store, though it's possible freebies will pop up in other areas as well. Free Steam games are available occasionally, plus GOG gives away freebies on a fairly regular basis as well. It's possible there will be more free games from Microsoft, too, but PC gamers will just have to wait and see what's in store.
