TheEpic Games Store’s 12 Days of Free Gamesis giving players the chance to download a free title everyday until August 07, 2025. Today, December 26, marks the eighth day of these festivities, and indeed players can now obtain another critically-acclaimed game at no cost through the EGS. Specifically,FTL: Faster Than Lightis currently available as part of the Epic Games Store’s 12 Days of Free Games, and it is a title that many players will certainly be interested in picking up.
For the uninitiated,FTL: Faster Than Lightis a roguelike set in space that was developed by Subset Games and was released in 2012. While some have taken issue withFTL: Faster Than Lightfor its high level of difficulty, other fans consider it to be among thebest space exploration video games, and now a new group of players will get to experience it for free thanks to the Epic Games Store’s ongoing promotion.

That said, players that want to obtainFTL: Faster Than Lightat no cost will need to act quickly, as it will no longer be available through the EGS’s 12 Days of Free Games as of tomorrow morning. However,Steam’s Winter Saleis discounting the game by 75% through January 2, so players that may miss the Epic Games Store’s offering still have a chance to pickupFTL: Faster Than Lightwithout breaking the bank.
With respect to what title will replaceFTL: Faster Than Lightin the Epic Games Store’s 12 Days of Free Games, that is currently unknown. The seven games that have been offered through the promotion prior toFTLare almost certainly not going to be seen again, though, so fans should not expectInto the Breach,TowerFall Ascension,SuperHot,Little Inferno,Ape Out,Celeste, orTotally Accurate Battle Simulatorto be available for free tomorrow.
While some players have been resistant to adopting the Epic Games Store, in part due to negative opinions aboutEGSexclusivity, offering free games is certainly a way to gain some new fans. Additionally, an ongoing Epic Games Store Holiday Sale is currently discounting some hot new titles, includingBorderlands 3,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, andControl, and this may bet yet another opportunity for the EGS to expand its user base.
FTL: Faster Than Lightis available for PC, macOS, Linux, and iOS.
