Weekly Free Games on the Epic Games Store July 9 – 16, 2026
The Epic Games Store has three freebies for us this week. Simulation fans will be particularly happy with not one but two sims! You can settle on a new planet, run a tattoo parlor, or be a magical bunny-girl farmer! I’ll bet you didn’t expect those things all together in one sentence.
Nova Lands
Nova Lands settles you on one of many islands on a new planet. Set up your base, use robots to automate things, explore, and fight (or make peace with) giant boss monsters. That’s right! You can fight the big bad monsters with a blaster or be kind and offer valuables to them instead. That’s a twist!
This indie adventure sim is normally $19.99, so hurry up and claim it already!
- Adventure, Simulation
- Single Player
- Rated: Everyone
- Platform: PC
Tattoo Tycoon
If seeing Tattoo Tycoon on the list feels like déjà vu, you may have seen it among the Amazon Prime freebies back in April. But if you missed it then, the Epic Games Store is giving you another chance to add this indie sim to your game collection.
Create your own character and run your own tattoo parlor, catering to each customer’s interests. You can choose when your shop opens and closes, decorate it, hire your team, and gain new skills to succeed! There are over 100 tattoo designs to learn. Tattoo Tycoon is normally $29.99 on the Epic Games Store, so free is a big savings!
- Simulation, Strategy
- Single Player
- Rated: Teen
- Platform: PC
Princess Farmer
Folks with the Epic Games Store mobile app can claim Princess Farmer for free this week as well. This isn’t a farming sim, though the title makes it sound like it is. This is a match-three visual novel with a magical bunny farmer. There are three playstyles, unlockables, and it’s pink, retro, and has bunnies!
The story is in episodes, and you can choose to skip dialogs if you want to. The game lets you play it as a story, an action puzzle, or even co-op with a friend. It’s free on mobile right now, but you can also buy it through the Epic Games Store on PC for $14.99.
- Puzzle, Visual Novel
- Single Player, Co-op
- Rated: Everyone 10+
- Platform: Mobile
How to Claim Freebies From the Epic Games Store
Whether you want to play on your PC, Mac, Android, or iOS device (iOS is available only in the EU), 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!
