Epic Games Store is offering Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III and Need for Speed as free games this week. Players can claim both titles starting Thursday at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET through the Epic Games Store.
To grab the games, users need a free Epic Games account with two-factor authentication enabled. Once added to a library, the titles remain permanently owned. Players have one week to claim before Epic rotates in new freebies.
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War III is a real-time strategy game set in Games Workshop's grimdark universe, combining base-building with large-scale combat. The Need for Speed title continues the franchise's street racing focus with customization and online multiplayer.
Epic's weekly free game initiative has distributed hundreds of titles since launch and shows no signs of slowing. The program expanded beyond PC to Android devices, broadening accessibility for mobile players. Each week typically features at least one game, occasionally offering two or three simultaneously.
This pairing targets different player bases. Strategy fans get deep tactical gameplay, while racing enthusiasts secure an arcade-style driving experience. Both games carry typical retail price tags, making this week's dual offering particularly valuable for library expansion.
The Epic Games Store's free program remains one of the platform's strongest acquisition tools, drawing players who might not otherwise purchase games at full price. By rotating popular and niche titles, Epic maintains weekly interest and engagement across its user base. The combination of established franchises like Warhammer 40K and Need for Speed with occasional indie discoveries keeps the program relevant to diverse audiences.
