Epic Games Store announces free games for May 2026

The Epic Games Store has confirmed that two free titles will be available to users on 14 May. This announcement marks the return of the Mystery Game promotion after more than five months of inactivity. However, the names of the free titles remain unknown until the last moment.

Details of the current promotion

From 30 April to 7 May, users had the chance to claim Odsparks: An Automation Adventure , a colorful game focused on factory automation with elements of real-time strategy. This was a week-long period in which gamers could add the game to their library. In addition, a promo code was available that granted a bundle worth $100 for the idle RPG Firestone . This current promotion ended on 7 May.

Upcoming Mystery Game promotion

For the upcoming Mystery Game promotion on 14 May, the Epic Games Store has not provided any specific hints about the games to expect. The only information available is that two mystery games will be offered, which has only fueled speculation about what they could be. Since previous Mystery Game promotions have sometimes been built around a specific theme, it remains to be seen whether May’s promotion will follow a similar approach. There is currently no official information about that.

Current free games

While players wait for the mystery games, Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure and Trash Goblin are currently available as free titles. Arranger offers a puzzle adventure with a unique grid-based system, while Trash Goblin is about managing a shop full of unusual, upgradable items. Both games can be added to a user’s collection until 14 May at 8:00 PT / 11:00 ET / 17:00 CET.
