Epic Games Store has confirmed Out of Sight and TerraScape as its next free games, beginning October 8. The two-title promotion continues a run of multi-game giveaways and gives users until October 15 to add both games to their libraries at no cost.
What Happened With the October 8 Giveaway
Out of Sight and TerraScape will be free to claim on the Epic Games Store through October 15 at 8 a.m. PT, 11 a.m. ET, or 5 p.m. CET. Their combined full retail value is $31.98. Neither title has previously appeared as an Epic giveaway, making this a new opportunity even for regular users who track the platform's weekly promotions.
The offer will be the second PC free-game lineup Epic has launched since October began and the fifth consecutive week in which multiple complimentary titles have been available. Before the new promotion starts, users can claim Buried Stars and System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster as part of the current giveaway window.
Why Out of Sight and TerraScape Stand Out
Out of Sight is a short horror puzzle adventure centered on Sophie, a blind girl who sees through the eyes of her teddy bear. That setup creates an unusual second-person perspective: players use Teddy to help Sophie navigate a sinister mansion, solve environmental puzzles, avoid captors, and investigate the manor's past.
TerraScape takes a very different approach. Bitfall Studios' debut combines medieval settlement building with card-based puzzles. Players place structures beside compatible terrain and buildings to earn points, unlock more cards, and expand their settlements. Bonuses come from finding effective combinations. The game moved from early access in April 2023 to a full release in July 2024, and has built more than 900 Very Positive Steam user reviews. Its solo, cooperative, and competitive modes give the relaxed strategy game several ways to be played.
What to Watch Next in Epic's 2026 Giveaway Schedule
Epic's giveaway pace has remained strong through the first three quarters of 2026. Excluding the active dual-title offer, the store has distributed $1,591.34 worth of games and downloadable content since January, $164.82 more than during the comparable period in 2025. The first three quarters also covered 70 products: 65 games and five DLC packs.
Weekly giveaways are expected to continue for roughly 11 more weeks, reaching mid-December. Epic traditionally makes the final quarter its most generous period, then shifts toward a larger holiday event during the final two weeks of the year. The 2025 holiday promotion included 14 daily freebies after an opening week-long offer, so another high-volume schedule is possible, although specific 2026 holiday titles have not been announced.
Key Takeaways for Players
- Add Out of Sight and TerraScape before October 15 at 8 a.m. PT, 11 a.m. ET, or 5 p.m. CET.
- The pair represents $31.98 in combined retail value.
- Out of Sight offers a rare second-person horror puzzle experience built around Teddy's viewpoint.
- TerraScape focuses on placement-based strategy and supports solo, cooperative, and competitive play.
- Expect weekly promotions to continue before Epic's larger holiday giveaway period.

Expert View
This is a well-balanced giveaway rather than a single blockbuster headline. Out of Sight supplies a distinctive hook that can attract players looking for an unusual horror game, while TerraScape gives strategy fans a slower, systems-driven alternative. More importantly, the promotion reinforces Epic's 2026 giveaway momentum: the platform is offering variety, adding previously unclaimed titles, and entering the quarter where its free-game program has historically delivered its largest volume.
