Free Games V2

New and improved games grabber for Epic Games that utilizes the Desktop Application rather than the webapp. Designed to run on Windows, but this should also work on Mac and Linux.

If you have an improvement or bug fix, please feel free to make a pull request and I'll try to get to it as soon as I can

Logs in for you

And grabs the free game! (sorry for the terrible quality. I had to compress it to make GitHub happy)

Installation and Setup

• Install Python from their website
  • Be sure to install PIP if it asks
  • Check any boxes related to PATH (this will make execution by any scheduling tool much easier)
• Clone this repository or download a ZIP using the green Code button on GitHub
• In a terminal or command prompt run this command to install the required dependencies:
  • pip install -r requirements.txt
  • (If that doesn't work, try pip3 instead of pip)
• Open the .env-sample file in a text editor (Notepad, VSCode, Sublime, whatever you have)
• Modify these values to what they should be
  • LAUNCHER_PATH: This is absolute filepath leading to the executable that launches the EpicGamesLauncher on your computer (on Windows this is a .exe file and on Mac I think this is .app). It will probably be named EpicGamesLauncher (at least, that's what it's called on Windows. If you have a Mac, please confirm this and post an Issue on this repo. Thank you :)). Make sure that there are quotes around the path like in the example
  • EPIC_EMAIL: This is the email you use to login with
  • EPIC_PASSWORD: This is the password you use to login with
• Rename the .env-sample file to just .env
• Once everything is modified and saved, go ahead and run the Free_Games_V2.py file
  • For Windows: Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder housing the Free_Games_V2.py file and run it with .\Free_Games_V2.py. You can also just open the folder in the File Explorer and double-click on it
  • For Mac: Open a terminal, navigate to the folder housing the Free_Games_V2.py file, and run it with python3 ./Free_Games_V2.py.

Schedule to run automatically

TODO, but basically, just use Windows Task Scheduler or a CRON job to run that script whenever you need to (I forget when Epic drops games now, but once a week should do it)

Edge cases

Can pass the EULA screen

TODO

• Test/Trim sleep times in between actions to make it faster
• Have the script close Epic Games app when finished (for some reason .terminate() and .kill() do not want to work)
