Grab Your Weekly Free Game on the Epic Games Store | January 8, 2026
This week, the Epic Games Store has a free PC game rated Everyone, suitable for beginners and experienced gamers alike, and it looks like oh-so-much fun! There may be just one free title to grab, but hey, what does that matter when it’s something this exciting? And, don’t miss out on the mobile freebie!
Bloons TD 6
Bloons TD 6 is a tower defense game that offers story-driven content, multiplayer, co-op, and single player modes. It’s very clear why Bloons TD 6 is popular. If the cartoony graphics, many modes, and fun gameplay didn’t get your attention, you should also know it’s had a recent update!
This game was released back in July 2022 but just received a major update on Dec. 3, 2025. That’s right, just over a month ago. And that update added new content, including a new Expert Map, the new Ice Monkey Paragon, the story-driven Frontier Legends set on the Monkey Frontier, and more.
What’s in the Game?
For a tower defense game, the towers are the most important thing, and Bloons TD 6 gives you 25 towers with three upgrade paths. It also has Paragons and 17 heroes. Play through Quests, Odysseys (connected series of maps), battle over Contested Territory, and earn trophies to add customizations to your Monkeys and more!
When you play, you can choose to play alone or in public or private co-op games. The single-player mode can also be played offline. So, you don’t need an internet connection. Install the game on your laptop and play anywhere.
Should You Get It?
Bloons TD 6 offers so much content that it seems like a crime to make it a free game. But the Epic Games Store has given us this gift this week, and we shouldn’t waste it. Go get your copy now! And share this article with your friends. The game supports four-player co-op!
Free On Epic Games Store Mobile
If you haven’t already installed the Epic Games Store Mobile app, now is the time. This week’s free game is a very silly-looking physics-based game called Bouncemasters.
See, there’s this penguin who is bored, but he has a friend who is a bear (polar bear?) who has a baseball bat. Sound absurd enough yet? No? Well, the bear and penguin have teamed up for some fun. Use the bat to whack that penguin and send it flying to bounce and fly (but not really) around the world. Yep, the world. Who wants to miss out on travel that involves seals, a whale, mushrooms, a moose, and lots of potential mishaps?
How to Claim Freebies From the Epic Games Store
Whether you want to play on your PC, Mac, Android, or iOS device, you can find the download information on the Epic Games Store website. If you’re on a computer, you can download the Epic Games Launcher to access and play your games. I know that’s not exactly shocking, and you probably figured that out already.
For the mobile games, you’ll need the QR code. Use the camera on your mobile device to scan the QR code, which will direct you to the download page. You will have to enable downloads from other sources. (Other than the native app store, that is.) This app isn’t available on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. After installing the app, launch it, sign in, and then scroll down to find the current free game.
And that’s what we have for you this week! Check back next week, and we’ll highlight the new game offerings from the Epic Games Store. We’re staying on top of the latest gaming news, so you don’t have to worry about any FOMO.
Happy gaming!
