# Epic Games Store Free Games API
> Live free-games promotions from the Epic Games Store. The games that are free to claim right now (with the window they are free) and the ones becoming free soon — each with title, description, publisher, original price, store slug, cover image and store URL. The iconic "Epic free game this week" as a clean API for gaming, deal-alert, calendar and dashboard apps. Distinct from cross-store deal aggregators — Epic's own giveaways.
