Epic Games Store has a long-running tradition of giving away free games every month. This program has helped millions of players grow their game libraries over the years without spending a single cent. Simply by claiming the games during the free window, players get to keep them forever, making Epic’s weekly giveaways one of the best deals in PC gaming.

Next free games on Epic Games Store

Epic has already confirmed two free games coming soon this January. If you visit the Epic Games Store, you’ll find Bloons TD 6 currently available for free. The popular tower-defense game can be claimed until January 15.

Once Bloons TD 6 leaves the store, Epic will roll out its next free titles. Starting January 15, Styx: Master of Shadows and its sequel Styx: Shards of Darkness will become available for free. Both games will be available to claim until January 22, after which they will be replaced by another set of free games that Epic has not revealed yet.

Styx: Master of Shadows is a stealth-focused game with light RPG elements set in a dark fantasy world. Players take on the role of Styx, a goblin assassin who relies on stealth, positioning, and careful planning rather than brute force.

The game is built around sneaking your way through large, vertical environments while avoiding detection. Players can assassinate enemies quietly, steal valuable items, and complete missions without being seen. As you progress, you unlock new skills and abilities through RPG-style skill trees.


Deals season is here folks, and with it comes a plethora of eye-catching price cuts on some of the industry's most popular tech. Below are some of the best deals you can find right now.

Players can climb, swing, and move through complex levels while choosing how to handle each situation. The sequel also adds optional two-player co-op. Overall, both games offer a solid experience, and if you haven’t tried them before, you’ll be able to do so for free soon.
