Why Does Epic Games Give Away Games?
Epic Games offers free games to attract new users to its platform to compete with established digital storefronts like Steam. This approach builds their user base while encouraging people to explore the Epic Games Store ecosystem and potentially make future purchases.
The strategy has proven incredibly effective. When Epic Games made GTA V available for free, users worldwide rushed to create accounts just to claim and play it. The demand was so overwhelming that Epic's servers crashed for hours due to unprecedented traffic.
By giving away popular titles, Epic creates goodwill among gamers while simultaneously expanding its market share in the competitive digital distribution landscape. Each free game serves as both a gift to users and a calculated business move to strengthen Epic's position against more established competitors.
