Every week, the Epic Games Store gives away one or more games for free. Once you claim them during the giveaway period, they’re yours to keep forever in your Epic library. It’s one of the easiest ways to grow your collection without spending anything. Many of these games also work on cloud platforms, giving you more ways to play.
OTXO and Sol Cesto are free on the Epic Games Store until August 6, 2026, at 11 AM ET. OTXO drops you into a shifting mansion where slow motion creates room to react during fast top-down gunfights. Sol Cesto slows things down with turn-based row choices, random landings, and a descent through an underground world in search of the lost sun.
Below is a closer look at OTXO and Sol Cesto, along with where you can play each game in the cloud.
OTXO Slows Time Inside A Shifting Mansion
OTXO is a top-down roguelite from Lateralis Heavy Industries and Super Rare Originals. It follows a nameless protagonist searching a shifting mansion for his lost love. Each run pulls from eight areas and more than 150 handcrafted rooms, changing the route from one attempt to the next.
Focus slows time when a room becomes crowded, leaving space to react before enemies close in. The mansion’s bartender offers more than 100 abilities that can alter your setup as the run continues.
OTXO is the action-heavy option this week. Shifting room layouts and slow motion change the pace each time you return to the mansion.

Sol Cesto Turns Every Step Into A Risk
Sol Cesto is a turn-based roguelite developed by Tambouille, Géraud Zucchini, and Chariospirale and published by Goblinz Publishing and Maple Whispering Limited. You descend through an underground world in search of the sun, choosing from seven characters with their own stats and abilities.
Movement comes down to choosing a row rather than an exact tile. Sol Cesto selects one of four landing spots, leaving you to decide whether the possible enemy, treasure, or trap is worth the risk.
Five biomes change the threats surrounding each decision. Stone teeth alter rules and probabilities, while metal teeth activate curses and combinations. Magical items offer another way to influence a run. Sol Cesto is the slower game this week, with each row choice balancing a possible reward against a bad landing.

Claim OTXO And Sol Cesto Free Before August 6, 2026
You have until 11 AM ET on August 6 to claim OTXO and Sol Cesto from the Epic Games Store. Once they’re added to your Epic library, both games are yours to keep.
Slow motion keeps OTXO moving through its shifting mansion, while every row choice in Sol Cesto could lead to an enemy, trap, or useful reward. Both use roguelite runs, but they won’t test you in the same way.
Beacon Pines and We Were Here Together are scheduled to be free from August 6 to August 13, 2026. We’ll be back with a full breakdown once they go live, including where you can play them in the cloud.
