Update 6/10: It seems that this Epic Games Store leak was inaccurate. Thenew Epic Games Store free game isControl.
Original story follows.
For the past few weeks, theEpic Games Storehas been giving away free mystery games. Every Thursday morning, a newEpic Games Storefree game is added to the launcher for users to claim with absolutely no strings attached, and a countdown timer starts for the next free game. While fans will have to wait until Thursday, June 10 at 10:00am CT to learn what the next Epic Games Store free game is for sure, it may have already leaked online.
The big rumor right now is that thenext Epic Games Store free gameisDrug Dealer Simulator, though there doesn’t seem to be any concrete evidence backing this up. Various outlets and commenters online have made the claim, but there’s less backing it up than the Epic Games Store free game leak from a couple of weeks ago - and even that turned out to be inaccurate. Considering this, fans should take this information with a massive grain of salt for now.

The last time the Epic Games Store free game “leaked,” the belief was thatRise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebrationwould be the free game for June 3. An ad that was supposedly featured on the French Epic Games Facebook page said as much, but the ad was pulled and the Epic Games Store free game for June 3 turned out to beFrostpunkinstead. But maybe ifDrug Dealer Simulatorisn’t the next Epic Games Store free game, perhaps it will beRise of the Tomb Raider. Of course, it’s possible the next Epic Games Store free game isn’tDrug Dealer SimulatororRise of the Tomb Raider, but rather something completely different and unexpected.
Regardless of what the next Epic Games Store free game is, fans should have at least a couple more free games to look forward to. The free games are part of theEpic Mega Sale, which lasts until Thursday, June 17. Afterwards, the Epic Games Store will likely go back to announcing the next free game ahead of time, as it usually does.
Most of the time, Epic Games Store users know exactly what to expect from the free games lineup. But sometimes the Epic Games Store uses these mystery free game promotions to drum up extra interest in whatever big sales it has going on. It did something similar around this time last year, and it also did a15 Days of Free Games eventto countdown to Christmas. So while there’s probably an end in sight for the current batch of Epic Games Store free mystery games, fans can count on the company doing something similar at some point down the line.
