The Epic Games Store has officially refreshed its weekly rotation, offering The Ouroboros King and Warhammer 40K: Speed Freeks as free downloads for all users. According to the platform’s storefront, these titles are available to claim at no cost until June 18, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. BRT. Once added to a user’s library, the games remain permanently accessible.
How to claim free games on the Epic Games Store
Players can secure their copies by logging into an active Epic Games account and navigating to the “Free Games” section of the store. As reported by Voxel, clicking the “Get” button on the product page links the software to the user’s account without requiring a purchase. This weekly initiative, which has been active since the store’s inception, serves as a primary user-acquisition strategy for Epic Games, according to official company statements regarding their platform growth.
What defines the current free game selection?
The current selection highlights two distinct genres: roguelike strategy and arcade vehicular combat. The Ouroboros King merges traditional chess mechanics with roguelike progression, requiring players to build an army through strategic recruitment. In contrast, Warhammer 40K: Speed Freeks provides a multiplayer experience focused on high-speed combat within the Warhammer 40,000 universe. By offering contrasting genres, Epic Games aims to appeal to both tactical thinkers and fans of fast-paced, action-oriented arcade titles.
Future trends in digital distribution
The strategy of offering permanent free content reflects a broader shift toward “live service” ecosystems in digital storefronts. Industry analysts at Newzoo have previously noted that platforms using regular, high-value giveaways see higher daily active user (DAU) counts compared to those relying solely on seasonal sales. This model forces competitors, such as Steam or GOG, to evaluate their own engagement strategies. As the market for digital PC games matures, the focus is moving from simple storefront utility to platform loyalty programs.
Did you know?
Epic Games has distributed hundreds of titles for free since 2018. Many of these include high-budget “AAA” games, a practice that historically set them apart from competitors who rarely offer permanent library additions for free.

No. Unlike services like PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass, the games claimed through the Epic Games Store are yours to keep permanently, even if you do not pay for any subscription service.

Can I play these games on platforms other than PC?
The Epic Games Store primarily supports Windows and macOS. While some titles may support cross-platform play, the ownership rights granted by these free claims are specific to the PC version of the games.
