The Epic Games Store isn’t just for PC and Mac anymore—it’s also a growing hub for mobile gamers. With a fresh way to discover, download, and enjoy games, the Epic Games Store is expanding its reach, offering more titles and, of course, more free games!
Epic’s Mobile Expansion and Free Games Program
Last month, the Epic Games Store made a significant leap by introducing nearly 20 third-party games to its platform. Alongside this expansion, it also launched the Free Games program for Android users worldwide and iOS users in the European Union. This move aims to provide mobile gamers with access to high-quality titles at no cost, further establishing Epic as a major player in mobile gaming distribution.
Now, as part of this program, two legendary RPG titles from the Star Wars universe are available for free: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords (KOTOR II). These beloved classics are free to download on mobile devices via the Epic Games Store until March 20, giving fans the perfect opportunity to experience—or revisit—these epic adventures without spending a dime.
A Look at Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is widely regarded as one of the best RPGs of all time. Originally developed by BioWare and released in 2003, this game transports players to a galaxy far, far away, thousands of years before the events of the Star Wars films. Players take on the role of a customizable protagonist who embarks on an epic journey across multiple planets, making crucial choices that shape the fate of the galaxy.
With deep character customization, engaging turn-based combat, and an unforgettable story, KOTOR remains a fan-favorite RPG. The game’s morality system, which allows players to choose between the light and dark sides of the Force, was revolutionary at the time and still holds up today.
The Sequel: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords
Following the massive success of the first game, Obsidian Entertainment developed Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords, released in 2004. The sequel builds upon the foundations of the original while introducing a darker, more complex narrative. Players assume the role of the Exile, a former Jedi who has been cut off from the Force, navigating a galaxy on the brink of destruction as Sith Lords hunt down the last remnants of the Jedi Order.
KOTOR II is known for its morally gray choices, deep character development, and expanded gameplay mechanics. While the game was originally released with some cut content, dedicated modders have since restored much of it, making the mobile version an even more compelling experience for fans and newcomers alike.
Availability and Restrictions
These two RPG classics are now free to claim via the Epic Games Store on mobile until March 20. However, it’s important to note that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II are not available in Russia or Belarus. Players in other regions, however, can take advantage of this incredible offer and dive into one of the most beloved Star Wars gaming sagas ever created.
Other Mobile Titles on the Epic Games Store
Beyond these Star Wars RPGs, the Epic Games Store has been steadily growing its mobile catalog. Here are some of the noteworthy titles that have arrived on the platform this month:
Dead Cells – The critically acclaimed roguelike Metroidvania is now available on mobile via the Epic Games Store. Experience fast-paced combat and ever-changing levels in this indie hit.
Alto’s Odyssey – This beautifully crafted endless runner offers a mesmerizing desert adventure filled with fluid mechanics and stunning visuals.
Monument Valley 2 – A visually stunning puzzle game that captivates players with its mind-bending architecture and touching narrative.
Titan Quest: Legendary Edition – A classic action RPG that takes players through ancient mythologies, battling legendary creatures and exploring vast landscapes.
Reigns: Game of Thrones – A unique strategy game that lets players rule Westeros by making difficult choices in a Tinder-style decision-making system.
Why This Matters for Mobile Gaming
The addition of Knights of the Old Republic I & II to Epic’s free games lineup is a significant milestone for mobile gaming. Traditionally, high-quality RPGs of this caliber have been primarily available on consoles and PC, with mobile versions often requiring a purchase. By offering these games for free, Epic is making premium gaming experiences more accessible to a broader audience.
Moreover, this move signals Epic’s intent to challenge existing mobile game distribution platforms, particularly the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. By introducing a dedicated mobile section within the Epic Games Store and launching a Free Games program, the company is positioning itself as a serious competitor in the mobile gaming space.

Claiming your free copies of Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II is simple:

Epic Games continues to push the boundaries of digital game distribution, and the inclusion of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I & II in its free mobile games lineup is a testament to that.
