Epic Games Store has refreshed its free games lineup with two new mystery titles—Down in Bermuda and Tomb Raider 1‑3 Remastered—during the Mega Sale 2026 event; here’s what’s free, how to claim them, and how the sale stacks up versus other storefront deals.

Epic Games Store has refreshed its free games lineup with two new mystery titles during the Mega Sale 2026 event, and this week’s picks are a nice mix of nostalgic throwback and modern‑era weirdo. The two fresh “mystery” titles now live on the storefront are Down in Bermuda and Tomb Raider 1‑3 Remastered Starring Lara Croft, each available for free from May 22 through May 28, 2026. If you’ve been holding off grabbing anything during Epic’s Mega Sale, these two offerings are a solid prompt to finally open the app and claim them—especially if you have even a passing soft spot for old‑school platforming, puzzle‑adventure, or classic Lara Croft.

What’s actually free this week

For the second week of the Mega Sale, Epic has gone with a curious but well‑received pair:

• Down in Bermuda
  A short, story‑driven adventure that leans into environmental puzzles, parkour‑style navigation, and a moody, slightly surreal island setting. The game is more about atmosphere and exploration than combat, and its 4–6‑hour runtime makes it a perfect “snack‑sized” freebie to toss into your library without worrying about long‑term commitment. For people who like titles like LIMBO, GRIS, or GRIME, Down in Bermuda feels like a spiritual cousin: pretty to look at, easy to pick up, and the kind of game that’s far more fun to play in a single, late‑night session than to grind through over weeks.
• Tomb Raider 1‑3 Remastered Starring Lara Croft
  This is the headliner of the week. The remastered bundle resurrects the original trilogy—Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider II, and Tomb Raider III—with updated visuals, smoother camera controls, and modern UI tweaks while keeping the vibe, level‑design quirks, and-grid‑based platforming intact. For longtime fans, it’s a nostalgia‑bomb; for younger players who’ve only known the 2013 reboot, it’s a chance to see where Lara’s franchise roots really began, pixelated‑textures and all. The remaster is polished enough to feel playable, but still creaky enough to remind you that early‑90s design and modern button‑inputs don’t always mesh seamlessly.

Together, these two free titles give Epic’s usual “one‑game‑a‑week” model a little more weight, especially during what’s already one of the store’s biggest discount events.

How the Mega Sale 2026 works with the freebies

The Epic Games Mega Sale 2026 runs from May 13 through June 11, 2026, and during that window the store is mixing heavy discounts with its regular free‑games cadence. The typical pattern still holds: a new free title each week, usually dropping on Thursdays, and this week’s “mystery” duo is just the latest iteration of that rhythm.

What’s different about the Mega Sale edition is the bundling with the bigger sale‑event branding:

• Each week’s freegame is framed as part of the larger Mega Sale marketing, so you see extra banners and cross‑promotion between the freebie and the rest of the deep‑discount catalog.
• Epic continues to highlight major‑name titles on sale (stuff like Borderlands 3, Hogwarts Legacy: Deluxe Edition, and Cyberpunk 2077) so the freebie feels like a “taste‑test” tacked onto a discount‑heavy shopping spree rather than a standalone promo.
• Some users report that the Mega Sale era also brings occasional bonus‑style items (like cosmetic packs or in‑game currency bundles) as part of the sale storefront, though those are separate from the main “one free game per week” loop.

If you’re a regular Epic‑user, you’ll notice the interface feels a bit more “sale‑heavy,” with flashier discount tags and a “Mega Sale”‑branded section crowding the usual free‑games carousel.

How to claim the new free titles

Claiming the latest free games is still the same smooth ritual Epic‑fans know well:

1. Open the Epic Games Store app or site and log in to your account.
2. Navigate to the “Free Games” or “Mega Sale” section; the current freebie will be front‑and‑center on the homepage banner.
3. Click “Get” or “Download” for Down in Bermuda and Tomb Raider 1‑3 Remastered—Epic usually lets you claim both at once when there’s a double‑drop like this.
4. Verify that the games appear in your library; once they’re in your library, they’re yours permanently, even if you don’t install them immediately.

Do keep an eye on the May 22–May 28 end‑date, since Epic generally pulls the “claim” button when the week’s window shuts. If you’re on the fence, the remastered Tomb Raider trilogy alone is usually worth claiming just for the “why‑not” factor.

Why this week’s picks feel like a good move for Epic

Epic does a smart thing with this week’s lineup: it balances niche‑indie with big‑name nostalgia in a way that feels generous, not click‑baity. Down in Bermuda is a low‑risk addition for Epic because it’s relatively small and inexpensive to license, yet it stands out for its strong visuals and compact runtime. Tomb Raider 1‑3 Remastered is the opposite: a brand‑heavy, nostalgia‑driven package that makes the store feel more “legit” for the longtime‑gamer crowd. Between the two, Epic covers both the “let’s see what this odd‑looking game is about” user and the “I’ll grab anything Lara‑related” fan.

For the platform, this is also a subtle way to keep PC‑gaming conversations active during the Mega Sale: people will talk about the Tomb Raider remaster on Reddit and Discord, post screenshots of their playthroughs, and generally treat the freebie as a mini‑event, not just a checkbox.

Wrapping it up

If you’re one of the folks who tends to forget to check Epic’s free‑games section until the last minute, use this week’s Mega Sale double‑drop as a reminder: Down in Bermuda and Tomb Raider 1‑3 Remastered are already live, and you have until May 28 to claim them. Even if you don’t plan to play Tomb Raider until 2027, you’ll thank yourself later for avoiding the “why‑didn’t‑I‑claim‑this‑back‑when‑it‑was‑free” regret. And if you’re just here for a quick‑and‑pretty experience, Down in Bermuda makes for a solid, low‑stress late‑night play session.
