The Epic Games Store has launched its latest free game offering, and it's a big one for Star Wars fans. You can now grab Bioware's critically acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic duology for free on mobile. This move could potentially sway more gamers to try out the Epic Games Store (EGS) on their smartphones.

Bioware has its share of critics and fans alike, but one thing that's universally praised is their work on the Star Wars franchise. If you've never played the fan-favorite Knights of the Old Republic, now's your chance to experience this legendary series at no cost. When the Epic Games Store first launched, one of its key attractions was the promise of free games that users could claim and keep forever. While this hasn't fully converted Steam loyalists on PC, it might just be the incentive needed to draw more players to EGS on mobile.

Knights of the Old Republic is set thousands of years before the iconic Star Wars films and series. You step into the shoes of a lone Jedi, tasked with thwarting the sinister plans of the Sith. With customizable lightsabers, diverse Force powers, and a range of unique companions, it's no wonder this game is cherished by fans.

This isn't the first time Knights of the Old Republic has been ported to mobile, with the last release being over a decade ago. It will be intriguing to see if this new version on the Epic Games Store has been enhanced in any way. Regardless, offering a critically acclaimed Bioware duology for free is a powerful move to boost the EGS's appeal.

The big question now is whether this will attract more players to the platform. While we wait to see the impact, if you're in the mood for something quicker and more snackable, check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
