Epic free games for 5-12 November 2026

You can claim Flotsam free on Epic Games Store from 5-12 November 2026, alongside a login reward for Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms. Both offers run from 4pm GMT / 8am Pacific Time on Thursday 5 November until the same time on Thursday 12 November. Flotsam is a Windows PC base-game giveaway; the Idle Champions promotion gives you Morte's Champions of Renown Pack when you log in through Epic during that window. This page reflects Epic's coming-soon announcement checked on 30 October.

Epic free games for 5-12 November

In Flotsam, you build a floating town from the rubbish around you. Collect plastic and driftwood, turn your salvage into homes and workshops, and keep your drifters supplied with drinking water, food and shelter. You can explore flooded ruins, rescue survivors and recruit specialists who unlock buildings and technology. The Epic listing supports single-player play, controllers and cloud saves. Choose its base-game listing for the giveaway.

Claim Flotsam with your Epic account

You need an Epic Games account with two-factor authentication enabled for the weekly giveaway. In your account's Password and security section, find Two-Factor Authentication and select Set up beside your preferred method. Enter the code from your email, SMS or authenticator app. Your account confirms that the method is active and sends a confirmation email. Return to the store using that same account so your claim goes into the library you use.

From 5 November, open Free Games and select Flotsam. Check that the base game says Free, then complete the claim prompts before the deadline. You can claim on the website and install later; the game stays yours permanently once claimed. If a price is still showing, check again after the Thursday store update. Set your UK reminder for 4pm GMT on 12 November, with time to finish the claim before the rotation changes.

Log into Idle Champions for the Morte pack

Idle Champions is free to play, and this week's promotion adds rewards when you log into its Epic Games Store version between 5 and 12 November. Get the game through Epic, install it and launch it during the offer. Your pack unlocks Morte, Nordom, Donaar, Sentry and Sheila, with 32 Platinum Chests for each, two week-long potions and an exclusive Kapak Draconian familiar. Complete the in-game login during the promotion to collect those rewards.

Use the Epic installation for this offer: the reward condition is logging in through Epic during the promotional window. You can add the free base game to your account ahead of time and have it installed for 5 November. Once you are playing, you arrange Champions into formations, combining their abilities as they fight through adventures. Your new Champion unlocks give you more characters to work with as you develop those formations.

Install your games and find your claims

Open the Epic Games Launcher, go to Library and click the game you want to install. Choose an installation directory and select Install. In the Launcher Preview, use the cogwheel beside Install to choose the directory manually. When the download finishes, click the game's icon to launch it. You can leave Flotsam uninstalled after claiming; schedule your Idle Champions download early enough to log in before its reward window closes.

If a claimed game is missing, check that you are signed into the account that claimed it. In the legacy launcher's Library, open Filters, uncheck Installed and select Reset, then use Refresh beside Library. In Preview, open Filter and sort, uncheck Installed and select Clear. For hidden Preview games, open the Epic Games Logo, Settings, Library and Manage hidden items, then Unhide the game. Both featured Epic listings provide Windows versions.

Last week's game is free until 5 November

You can still claim Sorry We're Closed from the 29 October-5 November rotation until 4pm GMT / 8am PT on 5 November. Choose its Windows PC base game and finish the claim before the changeover. You play as Michelle, using her Third Eye to explore between worlds in a survival-horror adventure with fixed-camera exploration and first-person shooting. After claiming, you can install it later from your Epic library. For another service's PC additions, check the November Game Pass games and membership tiers.
