Claim now, play later. Here's the first week of September's free games, pulled from Epic, Prime Gaming, and a few other platforms worth checking.
Epic Games Store
Claim by September 3, 2026, 8 AM PT at the Epic Games Store free games page.
Breathedge (normally $24.99) — a first-person survival game where you're stranded in the wreckage of a space hearse, scavenging zero-gravity wreckage for parts while an immortal chicken tags along. Plays its sci-fi setup for comedy rather than dread.
Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition (normally $29.99) — a full horse-racing sim covering racing, breeding, and virtual betting, not just the mobile version's stripped-down loop.
Down in Bermuda (normally $19.99) — a puzzle-adventure where a stranded aviator is trapped in a time loop across six mysterious islands, cracking codes and collecting orbs to find a way home.
Together After Dark (normally $2.99) — co-op horror where two players are stuck in a forest overnight, trying to survive whatever's out there together.
NoRush! (normally $2.49) — a tower-climbing platformer built around exactly the opposite of its name: careful, unhurried movement over speed.
Right behind it: Alone With You goes free September 3–10, so there's no gap before the next rotation.
Alone With You (normally $9.99) — a bittersweet sci-fi adventure/visual-novel hybrid, escaping a doomed space colony with a troubled AI companion and four holograms for company.
Prime Gaming
If you've got Amazon Prime, this is probably the most-overlooked free games source out there — it doesn't rotate weekly the way Epic does, so it's easy to forget titles are sitting there expiring. Claim everything below from the Prime Gaming claims page.
In Sound Mind (normally $34.99, expires Sept 23) — a first-person psychological horror game with puzzle-heavy levels and boss fights, from the team behind cult classic Nightmare House 2.
Spray Paint Simulator (normally $11.24, expires Sept 23) — run a spray-painting business in the town of Spatterville, fixing up everything from kitchen cabinets to a giant robot.
Havendock (normally $19.99, expires Oct 28) — a cozy ocean colony sim: build a settlement, welcome new arrivals, and grow it into something bigger.
Also included this month: a run of GOG titles (Right and Down, Hiveswap Friendsim, Pyramids and Aliens, Space Grunts 2, Weakless, and Zoria: Age of Shattering) and a run of Epic-via-Luna titles (Airship: Kingdoms Adrift, Steelrising, Space Grunts: Chrono Shard, and Clash: Artifacts of Chaos).
Smaller platforms worth checking
Arena of Trophies (always free-to-play, not a limited claim) — pick from fifteen gladiators and fight through arena battles to build a reputation. No deadline on this one since it's permanently free, not a rotating giveaway.
Game of Mafia (normally $9.99, free via IndieGala) — set in 1920s New York, playing an ordinary postman whose old friend pulls him into running a bar instead of delivering packages.
Bad Cat Sam (normally $2.99, free via IndieGala) — play as a deeply unbothered house cat whose entire job is knocking things over before the owners catch you.
Claim first, decide later — none of these cost anything to add to your library even if you're not sure you'll play them, and Epic/Prime titles are yours to keep once claimed. If none of this week's lineup grabs you, browse this week's actual paid deals instead, or check the live GTA 6 giveaway if you'd rather aim for something bigger than free.
We'll run this as a weekly series — check back for Week 2.
