Here’s a breakdown of the free games available on the Epic Games Store in February: Until February 26, 2023, players can claim two games at no cost: Stalcraft X: Starter Edition, a package that normally requires payment to unlock initial player advantages, and Return to Ash, a single-player narrative adventure in which emotional choices and dialogue shape the story. Claimed games will remain permanently in the user’s library. Despite mixed reviews on Steam, these free offerings provide an opportunity to try the games with friends. The Epic Games Store also offers a way to download mobile games directly. By scanning a QR code with a mobile phone’s camera, users are directed to a download page. Because these games may not be available on standard app stores, users may need to enable downloads from other sources. Currently, the free mobile game Residual can be downloaded through this method. Residual is an exploration-survival game with crafting features and a Personal Disaster Bot, casting the player as a crash survivor on a hazardous alien planet. Rated E for Everyone, Residual is available for Android phones and iOS devices (in the EU). The PC and Mac versions are available for purchase at $19.99.
