Time is running out for PC gamers using the Epic Games Store to secure Machinarium and Make Way as free offerings before they rotate out of the program. Similar to other digital distribution platforms like Steam and Amazon Prime Gaming, the Epic Games Store consistently provides weekly free games to its community, enhancing the value for its users.

The year 2025 has proven to be exceptionally rewarding for Epic Games Store enthusiasts who enjoy expanding their game collections without spending a dime. Although the free selections often feature lesser-known indie titles, this year has also seen several high-profile releases. Kicking off January with Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the platform set a strong precedent, followed by major giveaways like the 2023 zombie adventure Dead Island 2, the indie masterpiece Limbo, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Sifu, and Deathloop in May and June, offering diverse gaming experiences.

Epic Games Store members have until tomorrow, September 4, at 11 AM to claim the current free games before they are swapped out for new offerings. Machinarium and Make Way became available at no cost last Thursday and represent a combined value of $35, making this a lucrative opportunity for gamers to enrich their libraries without any financial commitment.

Originally launched in 2009, Machinarium made its way to the Epic Games Store in December of the previous year. This point-and-click adventure is celebrated for its distinctive artistic direction, featuring a whimsical, mechanical universe that echoes the style of Tim Burton and has influenced games such as Lost in Random, Little Nightmares, and Limbo. Meanwhile, Make Way is a top-down arcade racing game that empowers players to design their own tracks. Initially released in 2023 for Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Xbox, it recently joined the Epic Games Store catalog last month.

As Machinarium and Make Way prepare to return to their standard pricing, two new games, Monument Valley and The Battle of Polytopia, are slated to take their place. Monument Valley is a beloved puzzle game that first appeared on mobile devices in 2014 and later expanded to consoles, while The Battle of Polytopia is an isometric strategy title drawing some inspiration from Minecraft. Starting tomorrow, Epic Games Store users can enjoy these games free for a week.
