Free-game announcements remain one of the biggest weekly draws on PC storefronts, and Epic Games Store is keeping that momentum. For June 18, Epic has revealed two new titles for its giveaway, headlined by the critically acclaimed narrative RPG Citizen Sleeper.
Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat headline Epic’s June 18 giveaway
Epic Games Store has officially announced its next free-games promotion, starting June 18. The lineup pairs Citizen Sleeper with Robobeat—two games that, while both new to Epic’s “free to claim” rotation, approach gameplay from completely different directions.
Citizen Sleeper is a 2022 narrative-driven RPG created by the solo UK studio Jump Over the Age. Its premise centers on a cyberpunk “Sleeper,” a copied human mind placed inside an artificial body that’s approaching shutdown due to planned obsolescence. The protagonist is also pursued by a corporation that views them as property.
Mechanically, Citizen Sleeper leans on tabletop-style decision-making. Players are asked to make frequent choices and then resolve outcomes through dice rolls while they manage resources, take on odd jobs, and support a group of characters aboard a decaying space station.
Robobeat joins the giveaway as a rhythm-based first-person roguelite about a bounty hunter chasing a showboating robot named Frazzer. Epic’s announcement positions it as a distinct counterpoint to Citizen Sleeper’s more tactical, role-playing-focused structure.
Both titles will be available to claim from June 18 to June 25, with the promotion running at 8 a.m. PDT / 11 a.m. EDT / 5 p.m. CET.
What’s free right now on Epic—and what’s next after June 18
While players wait for Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat to unlock on June 18, Epic Games Store users can claim two other games. The current freebies are Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King.
Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is a 2025 title that combines vehicular combat with combat racing inspired by the feel of Mario Kart-style action. The Ouroboros King, meanwhile, is a turn-based strategy game that blends roguelite progression and procedural generation with chess.
Epic also indicates that the June 18 giveaway will be part of a larger pattern: it will represent the 35th and 36th free titles Epic users can claim in 2026. Looking ahead, Epic says it will announce the final free games for the month on June 18, with those titles claimable from June 25 to July 2.

Expert View
Epic’s June 18 lineup shows a clear strategy: pair a critically acclaimed narrative indie with a genre-bending roguelite rhythm experience, rather than sticking to a single “type” each week. For players, it increases the odds of finding something outside their comfort zone—while for the broader market, it reinforces how storefront giveaways can spotlight smaller studios (like Jump Over the Age) alongside more mainstream franchises such as Warhammer. The community impact is likely to be strongest around Citizen Sleeper’s tabletop-influenced structure, which tends to generate discussion about build choices and decision outcomes during the claim window—especially when it’s new to Epic’s free catalog.
