Logged in to Epic before opening checkout link?
Yeah, still not working. Also have the app installed and logged in. Maybe it doesn't like Android or Chrome
Ah ok, I always do it on PC. Worked ok there

Install Epic Games App on your android or IOS device
Log in, and install it via Epic
Epic games app on Ios is just a social app (along with an authenticator). no access to the store from what I can find :(
Oh this is a really good beat em up, it's a minor masterpiece.
Updated checkout for all this weeks freebies. Since Hogwarts is a repeat untick if you already have it (get an error at checkout).
Seems Epic is doing a little refreshing of the site. One of the kids accounts had a different checkout page this time. Black background with the cover images stacked (and hard to see them all). Still gives an error if you have an already owned title in cart. Got the old style on all the other accounts.
whoa, is someone manually updating this checkout builder weekly or is it smart enough to auto search and build based on currently free or similar?
Manually updating the CSV each week atm. Automating is next step if I can come up with an easy enough way to do it.
How do you install this once ordered?
You search for it in the epic games app and then install. If you want to find games you have previously bought and do not know their name.. Good luck

search for email receipts from Epic
Yeh but that sucks!
it seems to be sent in the same format as the PC game store receipt emails so it's practically impossible to find just the mobile ones
@RentFree Thankyou 👍
Right. I forgot about that, I’ve been collecting a few Epic iOS games but we have no legit way to install them here (yet) do we?
Soon(TM).
Epic won their Australian lawsuit against Apple, 7 months ago. The two are currently negotiating the terms of the return of the Epic store.
Interesting. I wasn’t across that, thanks. 👍
Do you have to have the app to get the free game?
What a terrible app on android. Seems to open up an internal browser and make you go in circles to end up downloading the same app again…
Yeah how does anyone actually download their game with this…
you need to
- download and install Epic Games android app from their website (click on this post link, then tap Install on Android)
- then on that app, search and download the game
The app seems to be nothing more than a wrapper for the store where searching for the game returns no results… I'd like to find the person who decided that the app doesn't need a library feature…
@smartazz104: agreed it sucked without a library, but that has been their thing even for their PC games. I don't pay for any of their games so can't complain
maybe they focus all their effort on the new checkout page! /s
Were you trying to search for the game on this deal? I just typed Str and it appeared at the top without searching
Did you try to search for the whole title without letter s? i.e. Street of Rage 4, that won't return anything
@bheart: So it turns out that setting my devices default browser back from Firefox to Default Browser makes the app work correctly.
I couldnt even log in until I enabled Chrome. Then find there isn't even a game library, need to hunt for games I have.
Yep, can't believe they don't have a Library section where you can easily download and install all the available games on your account WTF?!
I bought the game twice, why not get it for free as well?
On the deal page at: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/mobile it shows a picture of the game Firestone next to Streets of Rage 4. Does anyone know how to get that game for free, assuming it is free?

Every one of those links opens with a 400 error (account not found)
It is showing up on the Android epic games store though, but you have to download the app separately.
