It appears that the next free games that Epic Games will be giving away have been leaked. As we can see below, after Grand Theft Auto 5, Epic Games will give away for free Civilization VI. Then, Epic Games will give away Borderlands The Handsome Collection and ARK: Survival Evolved.
According to the ad, Civilization VI will be available on May 21st and until May 28th. On May 28th, Epic Games will give away Borderlands The Handsome Collection. And finally, on June 4th, PC gamers will be able to acquire a free copy of ARK: Survival Evolved.
Do note that there were some rumors yesterday, suggesting that the next free game would be The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Now while The Witcher 3 is currently available on Epic Games Store, it won’t be any of the next upcoming free games. Whether Epic Games plans to give it away for free later this Summer is currently unknown.
Lastly, the Epic Games Store connection issues that we reported yesterday have been fixed. As such, you can go ahead and acquire your free copy of Grand Theft Auto 5.
UPDATE:
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is now available for free on Epic Games Store until May 28th.

WOW! Every time i beat one of my free games from epic there is more out or coming out soon. had a blast with the 3 batman arkham games i got for free. already own all the borderlands games but willing to give ARK a shot.
At this rate eventually I will own every game this universe and even the multiverse has to offer, so no money for ya mister Tim Sweeney Todd
And you people think this is good / sane for the industry ?
If this is the direction that the industry has chosen.
Yes? competition is great. Lower prices for the consumer while developers are actually making more money.
Valve and their astronomical fees is bad for everyone except Valve. You realize this right?
Astronomical seems a bit exaggerated seeing Valve was simply going with the norm. Sony, MS, and Nintendo have always had the same fee.
Just because it is the norm doesn’t mean it is bad. It makes sense for Sony, MS and Nintendo. They’re developing consoles, hardware, and supplying a huge line of hardware support and backing. Epic and Valve? They’re just pushing software around. Their overhead is nowhere near the same.
You are a special kind of disabled.
Valve constantly adds new features to Steam, as well as being the major driving force behind VR, developing not just their own VR suite which is recognized as the best VR on the market, but also HTC Vive. They also developed Steam Link and Steam Controllers, two highly valuable and functional pieces of hardware that have made couch gaming a reality for PC. They also developed a FREE Steam Link app which does everything the hardware did.
They operate data centers around the WORLD that push out literally hundreds of petabytes of data a week to hundreds of millions of users, at high download speeds – including patches, mods, etc. Their overhead is definitely more than Microsoft or Sony.
Let us know when you post your next easily debunked, ridiculously stupid comment.
Calling people disabled like a child? Geeze.
Anyway…
According to Wired, The best selling VR headset is the PS4 VR, so I’m going to say that Sony is the biggest driving force in VR, because you know, there is some actual proof behind my statement.
The Vive was more HTC than Valve anway. Valve is just working on the integrations.
Oh, Steam made a FREE app to push people to buy their games? Wow…that’s mighty nice of them….
Microsoft owns and operates some the largest data centers in the world…actually…Valve isn’t even on the list.
https://www.computerworld.com/article/3412222/the-10-biggest-data-centres-in-the-world.html#slide10
And just so you know, making a claim isn’t debunking anything. You need sources. Otherwise, you’re just spreading disinformation.
Valve was NOT going with the norm. Valve CREATED the norm. They invented the digital store. Apple and google happened years later.
You’re an idiot.
Says the one who communicates like an angry toddler…
EGS isn’t competition and everything you said has been rapidly disproven on a daily basis in the past year since EGS existed.
You’re parroting ignorant trash you saw someone say. Don’t comment if that’s all you can do.
Valve does not charge “astronomical fees”. They take the same 30% cut that Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, GameStop, and literally every other retailer in the history of video game sales has been and is currently taking. In fact, Valve revised their structure before EGS launched and before Tim Sweeney said a word, to the point where they take 20% if a game sells well.
Valve also has had literally dozens of competitors for the past 17 years. Steam is rarely ever the store with the best price on a game and isthereanydeal will prove that because it tracks price history.
If
then why has PC Gaming and gaming in general skyrocketed in profitability since Valve introduced Steam?
While you’re in the burn ward recovering from this comment, I advise taking the opportunity to learn proper English. Just kidding, you’re too stupid to realize when you’ve been burned.
Competition is always good for the consumer.
That’s my game plan. Claim all the free games (except Gone Home), never spend a cent on the store. Maybe I’ll reconsider if they stop paying to keep games off of other storefronts, but I’m not holding out hope so far.
I gotta admit. Timmy know how to lure people to use Epic Store.
It’s working. The store was hammered all day yesterday. Took me until today to get my free game.
It came with a 10 dollar off coupon too, which I then used to get the Control season pass for 15 bucks.
“The store was hammered all day yesterday. Took me until today to get my free game.” That’s OK because those who use EGS have nothing to do with their days! With no job, waiting for the check, living in their parents basement! Great pride!
You have no demographic information on Epic Games or their users. You’re simply making stuff up and screaming for children to get off your lawn.
Post your demographic information to show the opposite of what he said please. I can wait.
The burden of truth lies on the one making the claim. You can’t prop yourself up on a logical fallacy and actually assume you’ve proved something. That is how a child makes an argument.
You can make up anything you want, it doesn’t make it true.
Go take some classes or something.
What you stated is called an “argument from ignorance” BTW, if you want to look it up and why it is a fallacy.
Your long-time low-key shilling for Timmy Tencent continues.
It’s not low-key at all. It’s very blatant.
Can you hear yourself?
It was packed of people GETTING FREE GAMES! Nobody is buying sh*t on the store. Are you Timmy Tencent in disguise?
if only he fixed the store and added more features.
That’s like saying, “That girl surely knows how to get a man” when all she did was walk up to him buck AZz Naked, grab his fingers, lick them and then stick his fingers in her Pu$$y. If by that, then yes he “knows how to lure people”. Ughhhh
What’s your problem? ???????????????
Is he wrong though?
Going by his words, he is not a simp. You though have the smell of “premium subscriber” all around just by asking that question.
Haha, dude i laughed so hard at “premium subscriber”. I just woke some people up for sure. Thanks man, i needed that dose of laughter. ???
Tmi dude XD
Excellent, I will go pirate Civilization VI this afternoon just for fun… Anyway they are giving their game so it does’nt worth a f*cking penny.
GTA Online is the worst cancerous cheaters infested MP games that ever
existed and these moron (c0ckstar) are doing nothing to fix this plague….. They
just made B$ with this game…DUH
Rockstar should add Denuvo anti-cheat technology to GTA Online.
They just did actually.
Hold on rly? No way
I will take your word for it since i have no doubts they would do it to protect their online casino and fvck modders along the way.
They just added anti-cheat.
GTA V is region locked for me. Am sure these four games will also be region locked.
Same
I can get it for you if you want. i’m in east coast us.
Thanks buddy. You can’t bcoz EGS has the country locked in the account settings and to change that you have to get to their customer service. These games aren’t worth all the trouble tbh. Thanks once again for the kind gesture 🙂
I confirm it worked with VPN and changing your country in the Epic Store Settings to U.S but you have to refresh the page like 3 times so try it
Same
Did you try with a VPN?
I confirm it worked with VPN and changing your country in the Epic Store Settings to U.S but you have to refresh the page like 3 times
The field where the country is set is greyed out asking me to contact customer service to have it changed. It’s all good the game is dirt cheap anyways. Thanks buddy and happy gaming 🙂
sorry to hear that its greyed out, but as you said it is cheap now
Thanks will do, you too enjoy!
The salt from steamfags OMG. Maybe GaBeN could at least release good games by quarter with a all that steam money not that MP oriented crap.
Only issue I have with Epic is the support of exclusivity. Why is it that the ‘epicfags’ always bring Steam in to the discussion?
It’s the PC gaming equivalent of Trump Derangement Syndrome, haha! They’re completely obsessed by him whereby he lives in their heads rent-free.
well, valve definitely has the money to do this, but they dont.
Steam gave me Civ3 for free which is far more superior than Civ6.
Funny you mention MP crap which is what Epic store is about mostly.
HL Alyx says hi.
I’m no Steam f*g, but most people are grabbing free sh*t, simply because it’s free sh*t, regardless of whether they actually want that free sh*t, or will ever play it.
I’ve yet to see a game given away for free, that I actually wanted, and didn’t already own the game. Not one.
Plus usually the free game is just the base game only, of a game with multiple DLC, and it’s still cheaper to buy the complete edition, than get Base game, then buy the DLC separately.
Whether it’s actually a free give away, or the “!00’s of Games Free” on Game Pass/PS Now/GeForce Now (Even though you’re paying a repeated monthly subscription for access to them).
Truth is you likely bought all the games, in those lists, that you actually wanted, at launch, or in a deep sale later, and the rest were not worth buying, or you would already own them.
Excellent, more amazing deals on the way to EGS. Thank you for keeping us informed, John.

If you are paying for any title on Epic then you are doing it wrong.
Epic, make piracy great again.
More money to the developers is wrong?
I’m fine with the 88% cut to the devs, and I love the free games. But the way Epic rushed out the launcher before basic features were implemented (even a f*cking offline mode) while simultaneously paying to stop games from releasing on other platforms left a really bad taste in my mouth. Remember Metro Exodus, which was announced as an Epic exclusive 2 weeks before launching, and screwed over physical copy purchasers with the key switching?
The launcher was young, yes, but not different than every other store that has launched (I was there for the launch of Steam, Origin, etc). They were all a wreck, and many still are. It is in good shape now.
Exclusives are an industry wide situation. I don’t see why people hold it against Epic. Metro was a bit ugly, but in the end it didn’t prevent anyone from playing the game so aside from preference, there really was no harm.
Oh the “Steam was rubbish back in the early 2000s” joke.
It’s 2020, there’s NO EXCUSE to have such a terrible store these days. Technology has moved on, websites, app creation, everything is easier to do now than it was when Steam came out. Stop shilling.
No you weren’t. Steam was by no means a “wreck” in 2003. It was just barebones. And because you weren’t there, here’s the thing:
Steam didn’t have third party games for sale until 2006. 3 years after it launched. They didn’t force people into using a broken launcher and store that wasn’t ready.
Seeing as Epic’s POS Client is DRM free, it means I’ve no need to use their Client/Launcher, except to initially download games, and after that I only need even launch the client to update the games.
Unless the publisher adds their own DRM, like Metro Exodus, does with Denuvo, and even then, I’m, only forced to run the Epic’s POS Client, to launch the game every 3 days, and can immediately shut it down, and play client free for another 3 days.
I’d hardly call that being forced to use Epic’s POS client.
Forced use is what Steam’s POS client does, more than Epic.
I’ve been forced to buy far more full exclusives on Steam, or timed ones, ranging from months to over ten years, before some games release on GOG..
Steam is in such a dominant position, it can even charge a small ($100) fee, and still gets so many exclusives without ever having payed a penny for them.
That makes Epic’s POS Client, the second best in my opinion, with GOG Galaxy being by far the best Store Client, because it’s totally optional, and thus I’ve never had to use GOG’s POS client.
In case you didn’t notice, I detest every POS store client, and rate them lower, the more I’m actually forced to use them.
1st GOG – DRM free, and No Store Client required
2nd Epic – Only on Install/Update, or every 3 days with Metro Denuvo.
3rd Steam – Always, unless games DRM free.
5th Origin – Technically has DRM free, but all EA games use DRM
6th Every other client has Forced DRM. I have a few games on Uplay
He really has no idea what he is talking about. I wouldn’t spend too much time on him…
No, Steam was a wreck. I was absolutely there for it. A bad interface, connection issues, games wouldn’t work, they swapped Steam keys into retail boxes without telling people, and like you said, no games. It was far, far far worse than Epic.
Might want to brush off those rose tinted glasses.
Just look up “Steam 2003” and look at that interface…
If developers are finding it hard to make money, maybe same developers would be better flipping burgers.
You really missed the point. If they’re working for months after the game is released making new content, they can’t do that for free. Business doesn’t work like that.
is it me or the quality of games goes up?
The only good game in that list is Civ VI, and you can pirate it…hell, you can pirate them all.
Civ 6 is an SJW junk which recently introduced battle pass……
Damn, nothing is sacred anymore.
i did pirate one of the new civ games i think the last one, uninstalled it after 40 minutes.
It’s you.
EGS was made for giving game devs more money than steam ……
EGS give away the games for free …..
GENIUS …………………………………..
Epic is paying the Publisher some amount of money for each game they give away. This is part of what they are spending the billions of dollars they make from Fortnite on. The other thing being guaranteeing Publishers a certain amount of sales on games that are exclusive to EGS.
But they definitely aren’t spending any money on improving their store or adding services and that’s why they will remain mediocre compared to Steam.
So R* can just make some 10MILL fake accouts and print himself a F ton of EGS money?
It doesn’t have to do with how many accounts Rockstar or any other Publisher has. It’s based on sales on EGS. For example Epic guaranteed Deep Silver that they would have a certain amount of sales on Metro Exodus or Epic would write them a check for the difference in sales guaranteed and actual sales made.
That’s why these Publishers make their games exclusive to EGS. They risk nothing if the game flops for some reason.
These are better games than the focked indie rush.
GTA 5 is 5 years old on PC. If you’ve not bought it already and are glad it’s up for free, you don’t deserve to call yourself a PC gamer.
BTW – Instant-Gaming has had it for sale at £10 for ages now.
By the way does ark still run like a sloth that got buttraped?
yes.
Runs perfectly fine on my computer. The movement is still wonky and there’s still noticeable latency but it’s completely playable.
Classic EGS https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b08853c945f7ab72037faeaccd99689279f8f6da796be67b00942834cc3a4a7c.png
Civilization 6 is a soy trash. Borderlands 2 & PreSequel is s**t compared to 1.
Not needed even for free.
I prefer David Cage game collection that were free (or big discount),not GTA V…
there were some rumors yesterday, suggesting that the next free game would be The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
With their $10 coupon, it’s $4.99.
They are trying super hard.
I love those games.. it’s not a big problem for me to install in different launcher..
