Two new free games on the Epic Games Store this week
Just like every Thursday, the Epic Games Store is refreshing its free game lineup. This week, two wildly different titles are up for grabs : Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat. You have until Thursday, June 25, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET to add them to your library, after which they are yours to keep forever. We took a closer look at these two offerings, operating on entirely different levels of excitement.
Citizen Sleeper : a narrative RPG inside a decaying space station
Released in 2022 and nominated at the Game Awards, Citizen Sleeper is a narrative RPG crafted by solo studio Jump Over the Age, directed by Gareth Damian Martin. You play as a "Sleeper", a digitized human consciousness trapped inside an artificial body owned by the Essen-Arp corporation, which is desperately trying to retrieve its investment.
The journey kicks off right after your escape, as you wash up on Erlin's Eye, an aging space station living on the fringes of society. The game fully embraces the mechanics of tabletop role-playing games : every cycle, you roll dice and decide how to allocate them across your daily actions, whether that means working at a local bar, slicing into the station's network, or helping out the local engineers, hackers, and scavengers.
The whole system runs on clocks tracking your actions and the moves of surrounding factions, stepping away from standard guided quests. You actively choose which "drives" to follow to level up your skills : Engineer, Interface, Endure, Intuit, and Engage.
This free version directly packs in the three expansions released since launch (Flux, Refuge, and Purge), expanding the storyline with a brand-new endgame arc. The title tackles deep themes of freedom and identity, bringing a meticulously crafted writing style that absolutely makes it a profound experience to dive into.
Robobeat : a rhythmic FPS inside a booby-trapped mansion
We are shifting gears entirely with Robobeat, blending fast-FPS mechanics with rhythmic roguelite elements. You play as Ace, a bounty hunter tasked with tracking down Frazzer, an eccentric robot-artist locked away in a mansion packed with technological traps.
Levels are procedurally generated and you will tear through them using double jumps, wall runs, and a grappling hook. The core idea relies heavily on syncing your shots to the musical beat : firing on tempo boosts your damage and slashes your weapon cooldowns.
💡 The game lets you import your own music files (.mp3, .wav, .ogg) straight into the built-in editor, which automatically calculates the BPM. The environments and enemies then react live to your chosen tracks, adding a refreshing layer of variety if the default rhythm ever gets old.
The concept is genuinely thrilling on paper, and the execution delivers a solid adrenaline rush once you master the musical synchronization. This is a highly satisfying blast for anyone craving high-speed action and pure rhythmic chaos.
