Summary
TheEpic Games Storefree game for July 4 isThe Falconeer. Thursdays are always exciting forEpic Games Storeusers, as that’s when they can hop on the launcher, snag a new free game, and get a preview of what’s coming to the service the following week. There have been some rare exceptions to the rule over the years, but these updates almost always happen on Thursdays at 10 am CT.
As expected, the Epic Games Store has once again updated its free game selection. From now until July 4, Epic Games Store users can claimSunless Skies: Sovereign Editionfor free.Sunless Skiesis a horror RPG rogue-litewhere players manage a train as it explores the cosmos.Sunless Skiesearned strong reviews from critics at the time of its original release, and so it should make for a solid Epic Games Store free game offering. But whileSunless Skiesis technically the current Epic Games Store free game, it’s still erroneously listed for $24.99 at the time of this writing, so EGS users may have to wait a little longer than expected to claim it.
In any case,Sunless Skieswill be free on the Epic Games Store from June 27 to July 4, at which point it will be replaced byThe Falconeer.The Falconeeris an air combat gamewhere players ride on a giant falcon. The game boasts “multiple campaigns,” though it will only run about 10 to 15 hours or so. UnlikeSunless Skies,The Falconeerearned mixed reviews from critics. Even so, fans of the aerial combat genre may still want to give it a look, especially while it’s free on the Epic Games Store.

Right now, Epic Games Store users can claimSunless Skiesfor free, and from July 4 to July 11, they’ll be able to grabThe Falconeer.The Falconeerwill then be replaced by a different free game, though its identity remains a complete mystery at this point. TheEpic Games Store free gamescan be anything from obscure indies to big budget AAA games, though the higher-profile titles are typically reserved for the launcher’s popular mystery game promotions.
The nextEpic Games Store free mystery game promotionwill presumably kick off at some point this December and go into the new year if previous events are any indication. Whereas typical Epic Games Store free games are given away on a weekly basis, the mystery games are often given away daily, which makes them a little more exciting. Whatever the case may be, there should be plenty of Epic Games Store free games to claim between now and when the next mystery promotion goes live.
