Make Way And Machinarium Free On Epic Games Store, Monument Valley And The Battle of Polytopia Next Week

by Rainier on Aug. 28, 2025 @ 9:13 a.m. PDT

For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering two titles for free: Make Way and Machinarium.

Make Way

Speed around loops, dart through train crossings, drift around helter skelters, and unleash wacky weaponry in this modern take on classic top-down multiplayer racing games. The twist? You build the track.

Grab track pieces from a pick n mix menu and snap them together to build your first course. Dodge hazards, unleash weaponry, and avoid falling off the edge in a chaotic rush to the finish line, then bolt on new track pieces for the next round.

Scrap across ever-growing courses with increasingly perilous features until a winner is crowned before starting over with a brand-new course.

Work together—or against one another—to quickly build tracks using a range of ridiculous pieces, including loops, seesaws, corkscrews, and even train crossings. Then add obstacles and power-ups. Ruin your friends’ race with a well-placed barrier or jettison them off the side of a curve with a crafty boost-pad.

Six racers jostle and shunt to cross checkpoints and reach the finish line. Obliterate opponents with a range of wacky weapons, including goo cannons and Tesla coils, but beware: each checkpoint acts as a respawn point and revenge is a dish best served via a giant mallet or rooftop-mounted shotgun…

The finish line isn’t the finish! Add new track pieces after each round to create monstrously large courses, and score bonus points with your performance to take home the trophy.

Unlock new track pieces and hazards for more dangerous course designs. Add new vehicles to your garage to romp to victory in style.

Once Make Way and Machinarium, the current free games on the Epic Games Store, have run their course, it will be up to Monument Valley and The Battle of Polytopi, which will be gratis starting September 4 until September 11, 2025.
