Gamers have another strong opportunity to claim a bundle of three distinct PC games for free, with permanent ownership. This round of free distribution brings together Kerbal Space Program, Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice, and First Class Trouble, each offering a unique experience without any purchase required.
Kerbal Space Program invites players to step into the role of a space program director for a whimsical, science-driven civilization. The game centers on constructing and piloting stellar crafts, training Kerbal crew members, and exploring a vast cosmos that includes a variety of planets and orbiting bodies. Players plan missions, manage both spaceflight and ground operations, and experiment with physics as they push their aerospace ambitions from sandbox experiments to intricate career paths. The charm lies in balancing creative engineering with the practical realities of space travel, all while the Kerbals’ humor adds a lighthearted touch to the engineering challenges.
Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice is a tactical stealth adventure set against a richly imagined Japanese backdrop. Players guide Aiko and her squad through missions that demand careful planning, precise timing, and smart use of resources. The game emphasizes stealth, deception, and strategic decision making as the team confronts memories from the past and a series of enigmatic threats. Its design rewards thoughtful, methodical play and rewards players who map out routes and anticipate adversaries rather than rushing headlong into danger.
First Class Trouble presents a multiplayer survival scenario aboard a malfunctioning spaceship. The experience blends cooperative teamwork with competitive tension, as players collaborate to navigate a disaster while contending with an artificial intelligence system that exerts control. Interactions unfold through social deduction, quick shifts in strategy, and ongoing communication, with outcomes influenced by both cooperative choices and competitive clashes among participants.
Currently, the first two titles, Kerbal Space Program and Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice, are available to claim at no cost on the Epic Games Store. Interested players can secure these games for free through January 12, up to 7:00 PM local time in Moscow. After that window closes, the distribution for First Class Trouble will commence, running from January 12 to January 19, also on the Epic Games Store. This sequence gives players a clear opportunity to assemble a varied library built from a science-based sim, a stealth action title, and a social multiplayer experience.
The free distribution aligns with Epic Games Store’s ongoing program to offer high-quality experiences at no initial cost, helping players expand their PC game catalogs and discover titles across different genres. By choosing games from space exploration and strategy to cooperative survival, players can enjoy diverse gameplay styles and see how each title registers in terms of challenge, pacing, and replayability. This promotion is particularly appealing for those building a long-term personal game library or for households looking to diversify shared gaming time with different kinds of interactive experiences.
Each game in the bundle contributes something distinct to a player’s repertoire. Kerbal Space Program emphasizes engineering intuition and curiosity, inviting players to experiment with vessel designs, orbital maneuvers, and mission planning. Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice delivers a compact, narrative-driven stealth challenge that tests patience and strategy in a historical setting with a modern twist. First Class Trouble adds a social, dynamic layer where collaboration and rivalry shape the outcome of tense, emergent play. Taken together, the trio provides a broad spectrum of gameplay mechanics, aesthetics, and problem-solving approaches for a broad audience of PC gamers.
To maximize the value of this free access, beneficiaries should log into the Epic Games Store, verify eligibility, and add each title to their library before the specified deadlines. After securing ownership, the games remain in the user’s account for permanent access, subject to platform terms. Players should ensure their systems meet the game requirements and consider updating graphics drivers or software prerequisites to optimize performance across title-specific features such as complex physics simulations, stealth mechanics, and dynamic multiplayer interactions. This set of offerings continues Epic Games Store’s tradition of rotating free games in a way that broadens discovery and expands the range of titles available to PC gamers in Canada and the United States.
