Co-Op Gamers Need to Claim This Free EGS Game on January 16

by

Summary

  • Epic Games Store will add a new free game on Thursday, January 16.
  • The current free game is Turmoil, but the next is Escape Academy.
  • Escape Academy is a fun co-op game with online and split-screen options.

On January 16th, the free game offered by the Epic Games Store will be “Escape Academy”, a game that cooperative gamers are likely to enjoy. Users of the Epic Games Store can claim a new free game every Thursday at 10:00am Central Time. When the Epic Games Store doesn’t have its mystery game promotion running, fans usually find out about the next free game a week ahead of time.

The free game currently available on the Epic Games Store is titled “Turmoil“. You can get it right now through the EGS. It’s a simulation game set during the Gold Rush era, and while it offers online Player versus Player (PvP), it doesn’t support co-operative play (co-op). However, starting from Thursday, January 16, the next free game on the Epic Games Store will replace “Turmoil“, and this new title allows you to play end-to-end with a friend in both split-screen and online co-operative mode.

From January 16th to January 23rd, gamers on the Epic Games Store can get their hands on Escape Academy for their digital collections. For those new to the game, Escape Academy is a first-person puzzle adventure where players work through escape room-style puzzles. Although it’s playable alone, it’s even more enjoyable with a friend, as you can team up and solve the puzzles like a real-life escape room experience. Escape Academy is one of the highly anticipated free games coming to the Epic Games Store this year, so if you haven’t played it yet, make sure to give it a try, especially if you love cooperative games.

Epic Games Store Free Games

  • Turmoil (January 9 – 16)
  • Escape Academy (January 16 – 23)

Hey there fellow gamers! Here’s a heads up: Some of us might already have Escape Academy in our digital collections, as it was one of the initial free games offered by Epic Games Store back in 2024. Guess what? It’s making a comeback as a free game again in 2025.

If you’re an avid Epic Games Store user who collects every freebie they dish out, you might feel a bit let down by this repeat offering. But fear not, co-op gaming enthusiasts who missed their chance to grab it for free last time, consider yourselves lucky!

As a dedicated fan of Escape Academy, I highly recommend grabbing the DLC if you’re looking for more challenges! The expansions, Escape from the Past and Escape from Anti-Escape Island, are priced at $9.99 each, but it’s more cost-effective to invest in the Season Pass for $14.99. Trust me, the Escape Academy DLC is a blast, so if you’ve completed the main game and crave more mind-bending puzzles, these expansions are a safe bet!
