Most of the time, the Epic Games Store gives away free games for its users to claim for their digital libraries once every week, but there have been times when it's broken from that pattern. Sometimes the Epic Games Store switches to giving out free games daily, like it does during its mystery game promotion every December, and other times still it gives away premium content in free-to-play games as opposed to giving away an entire game for free.
It seems that will be the case when it comes to the Epic Games Store freebies for August 18. While it's possible a new free game will be added to the lineup between now and then, for now all EGS users can count on is free content for Rumbleverse. Rumbleverse, for the uninitiated, is the latest free-to-play game published by Epic Games. It's a battle royale, not unlike Epic Games' Fall Guys and Fortnite offerings, but with a melee-focus and pro wrestling theme.
Rumbleverse technically launches today across various platforms, but Epic Games Store users will have to wait until August 18 to claim their freebies from the launcher. On that day, Epic Games Store users can claim the Boom Boxer Content Pack for Rumbleverse, which comes with a boxing headset, gloves, tank top, trunks, and shoes. Players also get a special title card background and border and a Fame booster that lasts 120 minutes.
Epic Games Store Free Games August 2022
- Cook, Serve, Delicious 3 (until August 18)
- Rumbleverse Boom Boxer Pack (August 18 - August 25)
The Rumbleverse Boom Boxer Pack will be available to Epic Games Store users from August 18 to August 25, but users have a free game to claim in the meantime. From now until August 18 at 10:00am CT, Epic Games Store users are able to grab Cook, Serve, Delicious 3 for their digital libraries. Cook, Serve, Delicious 3 is a cooking game with local co-op support that earned mostly positive reviews when it originally released, so it should make for a solid new addition to one's Epic Games Store free games library.
Cook, Serve, Delicious 3 is the Epic Games Store free game for August 11 to August 18, while Rumbleverse Boom Boxer Pack will be free to claim from August 18 to August 25. Since Epic Games has said that the free EGS games will continue throughout 2022, we know that fans can expect a new freebie of some description on August 25. It remains to be seen if the August 25 Epic Games Store freebie is a free game or free content for a free-to-play game, however.
