| Players can build colourful floating settlements from salvaged materials in Flotsam. |
PC gamers, listen up: Epic Games has two generous freebies up for grabs right now, and the clock is ticking.
If you're a PC gamer who loves a good deal (and honestly, who doesn't?), Epic Games has you covered this week. The company's latest promotion includes a full premium game giveaway and a hefty bonus pack for a popular free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons title — and both offers expire on November 12 at 16:00 GMT.
Here's everything you need to know to claim yours before time runs out.
Flotsam: Build a Floating Town From the World's Rubbish
First up is Flotsam, a charming yet challenging city-builder set in a flooded, post-apocalyptic world. Developed by Pajama Llama Games and published by Stray Fawn Publishing, the game normally retails for $24.99 — but right now, you can add it to your library for absolutely nothing.
The premise is as creative as it is bleak: survivors must construct their homes from whatever washes up in a world consumed by water. Plastic bottles, driftwood, and scrap metal become the foundation of a floating settlement. Players are tasked with securing food and clean drinking water, managing their community, and sailing between locations to salvage materials, rescue survivors, and uncover remnants of the old world.
Despite its somber setting, Flotsam sports a colourful, almost cheerful art style that makes the experience feel hopeful rather than depressing. If you enjoy games like Frostpunk or Cities: Skylines but fancy something with a watery twist, this one's well worth a look.
How to claim it: Unlike many Epic giveaways, Flotsam is free to claim and keep forever — no strings attached. Just head to the Flotsam page on the Epic Games Store and hit that "Get" button before the deadline.

| Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms players can claim five champions and 160 Platinum Chests through Epic Games until 12 November. |
The second offer is aimed squarely at Dungeons & Dragons enthusiasts. Epic is handing out a substantial bonus pack for Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, a free-to-play strategy game set in the beloved D&D universe.
The star of the show? Morte, the wisecracking, talking skull from the legendary Planescape: Torment. According to Epic's listing, the Champions of Renown Pack unlocks five champions: Morte, Nordom, Donaar, Sentry, and Sheila. That's not all — you'll also receive 32 Platinum Chests for each character, totaling a staggering 160 chests, plus two week-long potions and an exclusive Kapak Draconian familiar.
Epic values the pack at over $100, though it's worth noting that's the company's stated valuation rather than a direct cash saving on the free-to-play base game.
Here's the catch: Unlike Flotsam, this pack isn't simply yours for the clicking. To receive the rewards, you must launch Idle Champions through Epic Games during the promotional period. So if you've been meaning to check out the game, now's the perfect excuse. You can find it on the Idle Champions page on the Epic Games Store.
What's Next From Epic?
If neither of these takes your fancy, don't worry — Epic has already confirmed that Knightica will be the next free PC game, available starting November 12. So there's always something new around the corner.

The Bottom Line
Two solid offers, one ticking clock. Whether you're in the mood for some floating-city survival or looking to expand your D&D roster, Epic Games has something worth grabbing this week. Just remember: the deadline is November 12 at 16:00 GMT. Set a reminder, log in, and claim your loot before it's gone.
Happy gaming!
