If you’re deciding whether to claim this month’s Epic Games Store freebies, July 2026 includes three additional free-to-keep titles beyond the usual weekly offers—each with a different deadline. Here’s what’s available now, when the offers expire, and what kind of gameplay you can expect.
What’s new in July 2026: three extra free-to-keep titles
Epic Games Store’s developer-initiated promotions for July 2026 add three extra games that you can keep in your library for free. Alongside the storefront’s standard weekly freebies, these offers are limited-time claims.
The three currently free titles are KeepUp Survival, NoRush! – Tower Edition, and Together After Dark. Each game has its own end date, so waiting could mean losing access to the free claim.
Epic also points to additional promotions running through its platform: two PC games (Luto and Echo Generation: Midnight Edition) and a mobile game (The Ouroboros King) can be claimed via the Epic Games Store mobile app. Separately, the store has announced an upcoming free game, Foretales, described as a narrative-oriented digital card game.
Who can claim them and how long you have
Any Epic Games Store user can claim the free-to-keep games listed below during their promotion windows. The offers are time-limited, and the store notes that you’ll need to act quickly because the free claims end soon.
Deadlines for the three extra giveaways are staggered across the month, meaning you can claim multiple games if you’re on time for each one. The promotion end times are provided by Epic, so it’s worth checking the clock relative to your region.
Gameplay breakdown: what you’re getting with each freebie
KeepUp Survival is an open-world survival co-op game where the focus is exploration rather than monster encounters. The premise centers on an experiment on an island that goes wrong, leaving players to explore a dying world with no specific instructions—solo or with friends. The island is also presented as full of secrets to discover.
NoRush! – Tower Edition is a casual, single-player runner/platformer featuring a unicorn-like character trying to reach a very tall tower. The run is built around hazards, traps, and obstacles, and like many runner games, it emphasizes chasing a high score. Coins are collectible and can affect results, helping determine who performs best on the leaderboard.
Together After Dark is a found-footage-style co-op horror experience for up to four players. The goal is to escape a spooky, no-return forest while staying away from creepy creatures that can spot you. Players rely on camcorders and flashlights, with limited tools to survive.

Expert View
This is a strong month for variety: an exploration-heavy co-op survival, a score-driven runner, and a team-based horror escape. The main risk is timing—because each game ends on a different day and at specific times, you’ll want to claim immediately rather than batch later. If you’re only chasing one genre, pick based on your preferred session type: roaming secrets, high-score runs, or co-op tension in a forest.
