Epic Games Store has refreshed its free game lineup for PC players, and this time you’re getting a two-for-one deal—both from the same stealth-focused series. If you enjoy sneaking through levels, avoiding direct fights, and outsmarting enemies instead of charging in headfirst, this week’s giveaway is one worth grabbing.
Before the new offer goes live, you can still claim Bloons TD 6 until 16:00 UTC on January 15. The popular tower defense game is known for its depth, strategy, and replay value, and it’s widely praised by players who like tweaking builds and replaying maps with different approaches. Once that window closes, Epic switches over to its next free games.
The new Epic Games Store freebies are Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness. Together, they normally add up to $39.98 at full price, though they often go on deep discounts elsewhere. Even so, free is free—and if stealth-action games are your thing, these two titles can easily deliver hours of gameplay.
Player feedback for the Styx games remains strong overall. Both titles continue to hold “Very Positive” user ratings on Steam, suggesting many players enjoy the sneaky goblin-assassin formula and the level design built around stealth. Critical averages tend to land closer to the low-70 range on Metacritic, but for fans of stealth mechanics, carefully timed takedowns, and navigating guarded areas without being seen, these games still have plenty of appeal.
Another nice bonus for PC gamers: both Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness include full Xbox controller support, and they also work with popular third-party controllers.
You can claim both free games on the Epic Games Store from January 15 until January 22 at 16:00 UTC. Once claimed, they’re yours to keep in your library permanently, so it’s a good time to grab them even if you don’t plan to play immediately.
