Overview & Key Takeaways

By its very nature, the post-apocalypse setting tends to be a pretty dour affair. I mean, the collapse of all that you know and love is hardly the place for a Diner Dash-style cooking sim. But if you really want something just a tad lighter, why not dig into Caravan SandWitch, free to claim on the Epic Games Store for mobile this week? Yes, it's another EGS freebie! And this time around it's actually a relatively recent release. We covered Caravan SandWitch only a few weeks ago when it landed on iOS and Android, seeing you explore the once-green planet of Cigalo and helping its people survive. ... [MORE]

Yes, it's another EGS freebie! And this time around it's actually a relatively recent release. We covered Caravan SandWitch only a few weeks ago when it landed on iOS and Android, seeing you explore the once-green planet of Cigalo and helping its people survive.

No such thing as a free lunch

With Epic seemingly winning out over Google and Apple, it's been easier than ever to

download the Epic Games Store for mobile

. And with that comes the company's unusual tactic of giving away great games entirely for free.

Now, I can't be the only one who hasn't really bought anything (save The Outer Worlds) from the EGS before. But equally, I don't know anyone who'll say no to a free game in their library. And on mobile it's doubly welcome to have something as recent and content-rich as Caravan SandWitch to play.

Of course, I've been saying that for a while now. But the Epic Games Store still seems yet to really eclipse its predecessors on mobile. With the increasing presence of third-party app stores, though, it could very well be in only a few years where we're all using the Epic Games Store!

However, the Epic Games Store is far from the only place to find great new releases on mobile. Why not check out our latest feature covering the five new mobile games to try this week for some of the most interesting picks from the last seven days?

Epic Games Store expands voice chat access across multiple platforms, including mobile

The Epic Games Store for mobile is set to expand access to voice chat for users, now allowing players across multiple devices to communicate easily. You'll even be able to move voice chat seamlessly across devices, as this move also follows the expansion of text chat across multiple platforms earlier in the year. It's a fairly minor change, but one that has big implications for the Epic Games Store on mobile, and farther afield. Up until now, one of the major criticisms of the Epic Games Store has always been that it paled in comparison to other storefronts, such as Steam, in terms of social features. ...

Epic Games’ New Voice Chat Lets You Keep Talking To Friends While Playing Different Games

Epic Games has announced that it's going to make it easier than ever to hang out and talk with friends across different platforms by launching Epic Parties. This voice chat service will work across Fortnite (on all supported platforms), the Epic Games Store launcher (PC, iOS, and Android), and the Epic Games app (iOS and Android). For example, you can start a voice party from your phone or PC launcher, ring up a friend who is busy playing Fortnite on their PlayStation, and even transfer that call from your phone to your PC when you get back to your desk. This means that you can sit in on a voice call through the Epic PC Launcher while playing completely different games from your Epic library. Other benefits include a seamless approach to grouping friends together, as Epic says that if you're in a voice party with friends and everyone decides to open Fortnite, then the game will automatically drop you all into the same lobby together. This new feature is competing directly with Discord, which has been the go-to third-party app for users for several years. Epic's built-in alternative aims to let users bring their social list, voice channels, and digital avatar with them across multiple platforms and from game to game, whether you are on iOS, Android, PC, or console. Epic has also hinted that these voice and avatar systems will be integrated directly into Unreal Engine 6, and the tools will be offered to other developers in time. For now, it's currently rolling out to Fortnite, and Epic Parties will be available in Rocket League next year. According to Epic's year-in-review stats(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/people-spent-more-but-played-less-on-the-epic-games-store-in-2025/2900-7449/), over $1 billion was spent in the store in 2025, and it reached an all-time record of 78 million monthly active users on PC. Earlier this year, Epic spoke more about its plans to further improve its digital storefront(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/epic-explains-its-blend-of-blockbusters-and-smaller-games-for-weekly-freebies/1100-6538882/). "Our goal is to keep building a storefront and launcher that players want to engage with and use to grow their game library, but we need to be able to connect players with the game they want to play at the time they want to play it," Kyle Billings, director of strategy and business operations at the Epic Games Store, said to GameSpot.
