Searching for your next gaming destination without spending a penny? The September 2025 lineup of free games in the Epic Games Store has just been announced, and it looks like a doozy.

BOTH will be yours to download and keep forever from September 4th – September 11th, 2025.
September 2025 Free Games on Epic Games Store
The refresh of free Epic Games Store games September 2025 will swap out the current August giveaway on September 4 at 15:00 UTC. PC players can also download Monument Valley and The Battle of Polytopia for free once the new refresh goes live.
Monument Valley: Timeless Puzzling Experience
One of the free games is Monument Valley, probably one of the most loved puzzle games in the last ten years. First released back in 2014, the award-winning title from indie studio Ustwo Games is a multiple award winner including awards at The Game Awards 2017.
Known for its eye-popping art direction, the game is featuring many optical illusions and M.C. Escher-esque shapes that encourage out-of-the-box thinking. Monument Valley goes beyond its mosaic artfulness and creates a bittersweet and poetic interactive experience that has delighted players for years now. Usually going for $7.99, the title is currently holding an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam, making it a freebie you need to claim this September.
The Polytopia War: The Simplicity of Strategy
The Battle of Polytopia, a turn-based 4X strategy title from developer Midjiwan AB, is the second free title available this September 2025 on the Epic Games Store. Originally released in 2016, the game has players build tribes, build cities, research technologies, and conquer enemies on a procedurally-generated world.
Mechanically dense but accessible, it features modes for single-player, local multiplayer, and online multiplayer. Polytopia is a great selection for casual players and strategy aficinados alike, with controller support and its no-frills design. Normally $14.99, it would otherwise be money well spent for some quality PC library fodder, and currently sits at “Very Positive” off Steam.
