The Epic Games Store renewed its weekly selection and made two new titles available for redemption at no cost, starting August 6, 2026. PC players can add “Beacon Pines” and “We Were Here Together” to their collections permanently, taking advantage of the platform’s initiative to offer games regularly.

How to get the titles and redemption period

To access new games, users simply need to access the Epic Games digital store, which stands out in the PC games market for its periodic offers. The promotion ensures that, once redeemed, the titles remain available in the player’s library forever.

Interested parties have until August 13, 2026 to make the redemption. After this date, the games will return to their original prices and a new pair of free titles will be announced by the platform, maintaining the tradition of gifts to its users.

Beacon Pines: a narrative adventure full of mysteries

One of this week’s highlights is “Beacon Pines,” a captivating exploration adventure that delves into a rich narrative. The game surprises with an adorable visual that, paradoxically, serves as the setting for a dark story set inside an enigmatic book. The player takes on the role of Luka, who is both the main character and the reader of the plot. During the journey, he uses “special words” to alter past events and reveal different paths to the plot. The usual retail price for “Beacon Pines” is €17.99.

Co-op challenges in We Were Here Together

For those looking for a multiplayer experience, “We Were Here Together” is the ideal option. This is a puzzle game designed exclusively to be played cooperatively by two people. Participants embark on an expedition through Antarctica and the corridors of the sinister Rocky Castle. Constant communication via radio and teamwork are crucial elements for progression in the game, which requires both players to have a microphone to interact. The title encourages intense collaboration to overcome the challenges proposed.

The Epic Games Store free games routine

The Epic Games Store is known for its free games distribution strategy, which has become an important attraction to attract and maintain its user base. The initiative began in 2018 and, since then, has presented players with hundreds of titles, many of them high-budget and highly popular. The company uses this tactic to compete in the digital games market, offering added value and encouraging adherence to its platform. This policy of weekly offers demonstrates Epic’s commitment to enriching gamers’ libraries at no additional cost.
