Epic Games Store is kicking off 2026 with another round of weekly free PC games, and the first giveaway in January is a title that strategy and tower defense fans already know well: Bloons TD 6.
From January 8 to January 15, 2026 (available starting at 16:00 UTC), you’ll be able to claim Bloons TD 6 for free and keep it in your library. While the store often runs special “mystery game” promotions around the holidays, this one is part of the regular weekly freebie schedule.
Bloons TD 6 is a colorful, highly addictive tower defense strategy game that works great whether you prefer single-player or online co-op. The premise is simple and instantly readable: waves of bright “bloons” are trying to break through, and it’s your job to stop them by placing monkeys with different weapons, powers, and upgrade paths. The deeper you go, the more the strategy opens up—timing, positioning, and smart upgrades become the difference between a clean win and getting overwhelmed.
One of the reasons the game stays so popular is that it hasn’t been left to fade after launch. Ninja Kiwi continues to support Bloons TD 6 with regular updates, adding fresh maps, hero monkeys, and gameplay refinements that keep longtime players coming back and give newcomers plenty to explore.
In terms of value, Bloons TD 6 is typically sold on the Epic Games Store for about €10.99 / $13.99, so grabbing it during the free window is an easy win if you’ve ever been curious about the series—or if you missed the last time it appeared as a free offer. With its approachable style, satisfying progression, and strong replayability, this is one of those freebies that’s worth claiming even if you’re not sure when you’ll play it.
