Once you have added the games to your account, they are permanently installed in your library, with no time limit. But beware, you have 7 days to add the game of your interest in your library before it is replaced by another. To access this advantage, you need to register at Epic Games, with email and password.

Games offered for free by store range from known and high quality titles to those less known or indie. Great titles like GTA V, Civilization VI, Metro Exodus have already been on the free games list.

It is noteworthy that after rescuing a free game at Epic Games Store, you need to download the game on your computer so you can play it. When you add the game to your library, it is available to you in the store, but is not automatically downloaded.
