If you’ve been collecting Epic Games Store freebies this July, there’s an extra claim you’ll want to check: No Rush! – Tower Edition is available for free until July 20, and it’s not part of Epic’s official weekly lineup. Here’s what’s changing, who it affects, and what to claim before each deadline.
What’s new: a separate freebie outside Epic’s weekly schedule
Epic Games Store PC users have a new surprise game they can claim and keep: the indie 3D platformer No Rush! – Tower Edition. The key detail is that this giveaway is not tied to the storefront’s normal weekly free-game promotions. Epic’s standard weekly program offers two titles at 100% discount, but No Rush! – Tower Edition is being offered directly by the developer FiveStar as an additional claim.
That means even if you already plan to grab the current weekly freebies, you can also add this extra title to your library—provided you claim it before the end of the promotion.
Who’s affected and how long you have to claim
This giveaway is relevant to PC players using the Epic Games Store. No Rush! – Tower Edition is free to claim temporarily, and once claimed within the window, it remains in your library permanently.
Deadline: claim No Rush! – Tower Edition before July 20 (the source specifies 10:00 AM on that date). After that time, the offer ends and you may lose the chance to claim it for free.
The game is normally priced at $2.49, but during the promotion it’s available at no cost. Developer FiveStar describes No Rush! as a challenging 3D platformer with a cute art style, built around dodging obstacles while climbing a 300-meter-tall tower. The gameplay is designed to be straightforward, and it’s positioned as a casual option for relaxing or passing the time—especially because sessions are short.
What comes next on Epic: the official July freebies still have their own timer
While No Rush! – Tower Edition runs until July 20, Epic’s official July weekly free games follow a different schedule. At the moment, the storefront’s current free titles for July are Nova Lands and Tattoo Tycoon. Those two games remain claimable until July 16.
After July 16, Epic will replace them with Echo Generation: Midnight Edition and Luto. In the meantime, players can stack claims—grab the weekly pair before July 16 and also claim the separate FiveStar giveaway before July 20.

Expert View
This is the kind of bonus giveaway that’s easy to miss if you only track Epic’s weekly rotation. Since No Rush! – Tower Edition runs to July 20 and is separate from the official weekly pair ending July 16, it’s worth treating it as a second deadline rather than assuming one claim schedule covers everything. If you’re budget-conscious or building a backlog, prioritize claiming both the weekly games before July 16 and the extra title before July 20.
