This Week in Mobile Gaming For January 25
The Epic Games Store Adds Nearly 20 New Titles For Mobile
The Epic Games Store announced this week that the company plans to continue adding more titles to their mobile store, starting with nearly 20 new offerings and the mobile app has only been available since September 2024. To celebrate the new additions, Epic Games is launching what they refer to as “the free games program on mobile.” This program is similar to the free weekly offerings already provided for fans on The Epic Games Store, as it grants users access to games completely free if they’re downloaded to user devices before time expires.
This month, Epic Games is kicking off that new free game program to include Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee and Bloons TD 6. Epic Games promises there will be new games offered each month until they move to a weekly schedule (like the existing PC-based program) later this year. Epic Games is also planning to update their mobile gaming app with quality-of-life features.
Epic Account login —a way to login to your Epic Games account on mobile— allows fans to appear online while mobile, and Epic has launched an auto update feature to let players game when they’re ready to play, not when they’re ready to hit update. Auto update provides all Epic Games Store Mobile titles are up to snuff when the time to play comes. The available third-party Epic Games Store titles added this week are listed below.
- Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee
- Evoland 2
- Figment 1
- Hidden Folks
- Idle Champions
- Pilgrims
- Out There
- Shapez
- Samorost 2

- Firestone Idle RPG (only on iOS)
- Gigapocalypse (only on iOS)
- Blade of God X (only on Android)

The Epic Games Store shows no signs of slowing down since the September 2024 launch, and Epic Games promises it will only continue to improve. Fans can find more information over on the Epic Games website.
