Epic Games Store Giveaways 89 Free Games Worth $2,120 in 2021

Free games on the Epic Games Store are one of the most exciting things in the gaming industry right now, and the store has confirmed that it will continue to give away free games well into 2022. Looking at last year’s numbers, it seems like Epic has been able to deliver a huge amount of value to gamers through its free game giveaways.

In terms of the actual monetary value of games, in 2021, the Epic Games Store provided gamers with 89 free games worth $2,120. Players have requested over 765 million free games, which is a pretty staggering number.

In addition, it also means that the games were introduced to a completely new audience since they were free on the Store. 76 of these free-to-play games have broken their peak concurrent user records on PC, averaging 13 times the all-time record.

The challenge of taking on Valve in a space so heavily dominated by Steam is a challenge of epic proportions. But it is clear that the numbers shared by the Store show that Epic has not only managed to enter the market, but also succeeded in this process.

2021 was a successful year for the Store, with over 31 million players participating in the Holiday Sale, purchasing over 159 million items during the sale, up 14% from the 2020 Holiday Sale.

Epic has a lot more in store for gamers in 2022, including detailed profiles. Players will be able to view all their epic achievements in one place, track their game time in their library, and more.

Epic also shared a roadmap of planned features coming to the Epic Games Store in 2022.
