Every Free Mystery Game on the Epic Games Store in May 2026

The Epic Games Store's biggest sale of the year is in full swing, and alongside up to 75% off over 2,500 titles, the platform has revived its popular Mystery Game promotion. Running for the duration of the MEGA Sale 2026 (May 14 through June 11), Epic is dropping two free games every Thursday, but keeping the titles hidden until they go live .

Here is the complete schedule so far, what you can claim right now, and what clues point to next.

Games You Can Claim Right Now (Through May 28)

The current batch of mystery games is available for free until May 28 at 11 AM ET. This pair of giveaways—Mystery Games #3 and #4 of the event—offers a remastered classic trilogy and an indie puzzle adventure .

• Tomb Raider I-III Remastered: This collection updates Lara Croft's first three adventures with enhanced visuals, modern controls, and all original expansion packs. Normally priced at $29.99, it holds an 82% positive rating from over 3,400 Steam reviews .
• Down in Bermuda: A cartoony, laid-back puzzle game from Yak & Co. where you guide a stranded aviator through a series of mysterious islands. It originally launched in 2021 and typically sells for $19.99 .

Both games are permanently added to your library once claimed. You can grab them via the Epic Games Store desktop app or website by logging in and completing the free "purchase" .

Previous Mystery Games (Now Expired)

The promotion kicked off on May 14 with two titles that leaned into co-op and narrative experiences.

May 14–21 (Mystery Games #1 and #2):

• The Telltale Batman: Shadows Edition: A bundle combining both seasons of Telltale's Batman series along with a noir visual "Shadows Mode." The combined retail value sits at around $79.95 .
• Sunderfolk: Standard Edition: A turn-based tactical RPG built explicitly for cooperative play sessions .

What's Coming Next (May 28 – June 4)

Epic has already begun teasing Mystery Games #5 and #6 with blurred cover art on social media, a signature move to fuel speculation before the Thursday reveal .

While the studio keeps exact names secret until launch, early community consensus and reporting points to a trio of titles for the coming week. Based on previews, players can expect a casual open-world sim featuring a cat café, a rogue-lite strategy game, and a mobile strategy title drawing on Norse mythology . One of the PC titles rumored to be on the list is the whimsical open-world game Calico .

As with all mystery game weeks, the only way to know for sure is to check the store on Thursday, May 28 at 11 AM ET when the new freebies go live.

How the MEGA Sale Mystery Games Work

The format follows a weekly rhythm for the entire four-week sale period:

• New games drop every Thursday at 11 AM Eastern Time. Each batch replaces the previous week's offerings instantly .
• Titles stay hidden until launch. Epic publishes cryptic color hints or blurred images in advance, but does not confirm names in order to drive mid-week engagement .
• Any game you claim is yours to keep forever. There is no subscription or expiration on your license after you add it to your account .

The MEGA Sale itself wraps up on June 11, meaning there are at least two more mystery game drops after the May 28 batch before the promotion ends .
