Epic Unveils Free Game for January

Escape Academy is the Epic Games Store's free game offering for January 16th, 2025. This escape-room style puzzle game, developed by Coin Crew Games, is the fourth free title offered by EGS in 2025 and boasts the highest OpenCritic score of any EGS freebie so far this year.

Players can claim Escape Academy for free from January 16th to 23rd, replacing Turmoil in the weekly rotation. This marks the second time Escape Academy has been offered for free on the EGS; however, this giveaway provides a full week of access, unlike its previous, shorter appearance. This timing is particularly beneficial for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, as the game is leaving the service on January 15th.

Epic Games Store Free Games - January 2025:

  • January 1st - 8th: Kingdom Come: Deliverance
  • January 9th - 15th: Hell Let Loose
  • January 9th - 16th: Turmoil
  • January 16th - 23rd: Escape Academy

Escape Academy receives a "Strong" rating on OpenCritic (80 average score, 88% recommendation rate), and positive reviews across Steam, PlayStation Store, and Xbox Store. The game offers both solo and multiplayer options (online and split-screen), with its co-op mode widely praised.

Two DLC packs, Escape From Anti-Escape Island and Escape From the Past, are available for purchase separately ($9.99 each) or as a Season Pass ($14.99). The announcement of the EGS's fifth free game of 2025 is anticipated on January 16th, coinciding with Escape Academy's availability.
