The past few weeks have been an exciting time for the Epic Games Store. What typically happens when Epic Games Store releases a new free game is that it announces the next one or two for the following week. This is a pretty good approach, as it allows fans to anticipate or plan ahead for the next title. Yet, all too often, the conversation begins and ends on the same Thursday of each release.

However, the past few weeks have shown how much Epic Games Store users are loving these mystery titles. It should be noted that these titles are bigger than typical Epic Games Store free game selections, having included Borderlands 3, the BioShock collection, and Wolfenstein: The New Order. On top of that, Epic Games Store has also confirmed that the June 9 title is yet another free mystery game.

When Will The Epic Games Store Free Mystery Games End?

Right now, it’s uncertain when the lineup of free mystery games comes to an end, but one theory posits that the free games will come to an end on June 16, coinciding with the end of the Epic MEGA sale. This makes the most sense, and it would mean that fans potentially have two more free mystery titles between now and then.

That said, there’s no official confirmation on when these Epic Games Store mystery title giveaways will end, and there’s a strong case that perhaps they shouldn’t. Fans would be lying to themselves if they thought Epic Games Store would continue to give away games like the BioShock collection, which include some of the highest-rated games ever made, but that doesn’t mean the mystery element should disappear.

Even with Epic Games Store typically giving away smaller titles and indie games, there are many that have become personal fan favorites. The biggest thing the mystery adds week after week is ongoing discussion and engagement with these Epic Games Store titles every week. There’s certainly a case for why these should be saved for special occasions, so perhaps some terminology should change, but it would be beneficial to keep the identity of each weekly release a secret.

After all, the Epic Games Store community has been coming up with theories, speculating on each new title, and looking deeply at various hints. If Epic Games Store released some mystery titles every week, teasing them and putting out hints in the time between, it would ensure that the claim-and-forget on Thursday approach isn’t the only one.
