Highlights
- Epic Games Store is giving away Dragon Age: Inquisition for free.
- The game can be claimed from now until May 23 at 10:00am CT.
- Next week’s free game remains a mystery for now.
The Epic Games Store free game for May 16 to May 23 is none other than 2014 Game of the Year winner Dragon Age: Inquisition. The Epic Games Store usually clues users in on the next free game a week in advance, but the platform’s free mystery game promotion is an exception to the rule.
Every once in a while, the Epic Games Store hosts free mystery game promotions. Typically, the Epic Games Store free mystery games are higher profile, bigger budget games than most of the weekly EGS free games. The idea is that by giving away more well-known games and not telling fans what the games are in advance, it encourages PC gamers to visit the Epic Games Store more frequently.

The latest Epic Games Store free mystery game promotion is in full swing. Fans have been waiting a week to learn what the free game for May 16 to May 23 is, and it’s now been confirmed to be Dragon Age: Inquisition – Game of the Year Edition. Dragon Age: Inquisition won the first-ever Game Awards GOTY trophy back in 2014, beating the likes of Bayonetta 2, Dark Souls 2, Hearthstone, and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor for the honor. The game may be a decade old, but it’s still a critically-acclaimed, award-winning game, and easily one of the most significant Epic Games Store free games given away this year to date.

- Dragon Age: Inquisition – Game of the Year Edition (May 16 to May 23)
Of course, this is the Game of the Year version of Dragon Age: Inquisition, which means users are getting even more content than usual, completely free of charge. Beyond the sprawling base game, Epic Games Store users also get the Flames of the Inquisition Arsenal, Armor, and Armored Mount, Deluxe Edition chests for the game’s multiplayer component, Skyhold Throne, Red Hart Halla, and Bog Unicorn, Jaws of Hakkon DLC Pack, The Descent DLC Pack, Trespasser DLC Pack, Spoils of the Avvar (5 new mounts, 2 new sets of armor, and new base personalization options at Skyhold), and Spoils of the Qunari (armored war mount, new armor sets, and Skyhold items).
Epic Games Store users have until Thursday, May 23 at 10:00 am CT to claim Dragon Age: Inquisition before it is replaced by next week’s free game. It remains to be seen exactly what that game is. All fans know for sure is that the classic Fallout games are going to be free on the Epic Games Store at some point in 2024, though there’s no guarantee they will be freebies for next week.
