Ghostrunner 2

Ghostrunner 2 is a first-person action game set in a cyberpunk world. You play as a cyber-ninja with lightning reflexes, slicing through enemies with your katana while wall-running, dashing, and grappling across neon-soaked environments. It’s not an easy game, but it is a fun one, so I don’t think you’ll regret playing it. 

Monument Valley 2

Monument Valley 2 is a beautiful puzzle adventure where you guide a mother and her child through stunning, mind-bending architecture. The game is famous for its optical illusions and impossible geometry. Unlike the first Monument Valley, this sequel explores themes of family, teaching, and growth, all wrapped in a meditative soundtrack and minimalist visuals. It’s not a long game, but it’s deeply memorable, and if you’re looking for something relaxing, it’s definitely one of the best games for it out there. 

The Battle of Polytopia

The Battle of Polytopia is a colorful, turn-based 4X strategy game that’s easy to learn. You choose a tribe, expand your empire, research technologies, and conquer rivals across procedurally generated maps. Each tribe offers unique starting perks and playstyles, so no two runs feel the same.

How Free Epic Games Work

Time needed: 10 minutes

Getting free games from the Epic Games Store is easier than you think. Follow these steps to claim every free title, and make sure your library keeps growing week after week.

  1. Step 1: Create an Epic Games Account

    1. Go to the Epic Games website and sign up for a free account.
    2. You’ll need a valid email address and a password.
    3. Once registered, you can log in on both the website and the Epic Games Launcher.

    Use an email you check regularly—Epic sends notifications about new free games and promotions.

  2. Step 2: Download the Epic Games Launcher

    The launcher is where you manage, download, and play your games. Download it from Epic’s official site and log in with the account you just created. You can claim games directly through the website without the launcher, but you’ll need it to play the games.

  3. Step 3: Find the Weekly Free Games

    Every Thursday, Epic releases new free games. Check the Epic Games Store front page or our weekly updated list here. Games are usually available for one week only, so don’t wait too long to claim them.

  4. Step 4: Claim the Games

    1. Click on the free game and select “Get”.
    2. Complete the checkout process (it’s free!) to add the game to your library.
    3. Once claimed, the game is yours forever, even if you don’t download it right away.

    Add games to your library immediately to avoid missing them when the promotion ends.

  5. Step 5: Download and Play

    Open the Epic Games Launcher, navigate to Library, and download your claimed games. Play anytime, even after the promotion ends.

  6. Step 6: Stay Ahead of Free Game Expirations

    Each free title has an expiration date. After that, it goes back to its normal price. Bookmark this page or enable notifications in the launcher to never miss a free game.

    Use the Epic wishlist feature to keep track of upcoming games you want to claim.

  7. Step 7: Explore More Free Games

    Check out our Free PC Games page for guides, reviews, and other free game recommendations. Some free games have expansions or DLC available at no cost, so keep an eye on these weekly promotions!
