Humankind and Beyond Blue are free on the Epic Games Store

PC gamers can currently grab two free games on the Epic Games Store

For the next week, PC gamers will be able to grab themselves free copies of both Humankind and Beyond Blue on the Epic Games Store. Whether you’re into historical strategy games or single-player narrative adventures, Epic has something for you this week.

This free game promotion starts on the same day as Civilization VII’s early access period. If you’re a fan of the genre and aren’t willing to dive into Civilization VII, Humankind is perfect for scratching that new game itch. Usually, this game costs £39.99 on the Epic Games Store. Sadly, this free game promotion isn’t giving away any of this game’s DLC. Regardless, Humankind’s base game content should be more than enough to keep you busy.

Beyond Blue is a single-player game that takes players deep into the ocean. Through eight dives, players will explore an untouched world and unravel the mysteries of the ocean floor. The game is inspired by the BBC’s Blue Planet II documentary series and includes 16 unlockable mini-documentaries called “Ocean Insights”.

Epic Games’ current free game promotion will last until January 13th at 4 PM (GMT), after which F1 Manager 24 will be available for free on the Epic Games Store. PC gamers can grab their free copies of Humankind and Beyond Blue on the Epic Games Store until then.
