Alien: Isolation will be free next week on the Epic Games Store.
Over the next few days, three games can be downloaded for free and then kept forever, headlined by the horror adventure Alien: Isolation. All three games also run on gaming handhelds, including Steam Deck.

The Epic Games Store is once again offering free games this week and next. First up is Knightica, a turn-based autobattler that can be downloaded for free from now until November 19. According to Valve, the game is also playable on the Steam Deck, though the Epic Games Store must first be installed on the handheld.

Knightica has received positive reviews from 72 percent of all players, according to SteamDB. This indie adventure is aimed at fans of roguelikes, strategy games and autobattlers, as players can assemble armies and gradually upgrade them while battles take place automatically, making the gameplay less strategically deep but also significantly faster-paced.
 

Alien: Isolation follows on November 19

From November 19 to 26, two more games will be offered for free, starting with Alien: Isolation. The horror adventure from 2014 may no longer be brand-new, but with a Metascore of 79 points, it is still worth a try in 2026, especially when the game is being offered for free. The game has been verified by Valve for the Steam Deck and aims to impress with a dark atmosphere, due in no small part to the Alien, which the player cannot harm with conventional weapons.
 


During the same period, the pirate adventure Mark of the Deep is also available for free. It received a Metascore of 81 and has also been verified for Steam Deck. As a pirate stranded with your ship on a mysterious island, you must explore the island to gather scattered crew members and uncover its secrets.
