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, will be available for free for one week, until January 23rd. This marks the second time Escape Academy has been offered for free on the EGS, but the first time for a full week. This is particularly timely, coinciding with its removal from Xbox Game Pass on January 15th.
Key Highlights:
- High critical acclaim: Escape Academy boasts a "Strong" rating on OpenCritic (80 average score, 88% recommendation), making it the highest-rated free game offered on the EGS in 2025 so far. It also enjoys "Very Positive" Steam reviews and high ratings on PlayStation and Xbox stores.
- Cooperative gameplay: Beyond solo play, Escape Academy offers both online and split-screen multiplayer, lauded as one of the best co-op puzzle games recently released.
- Fourth EGS freebie of 2025: Following Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Hell Let Loose, and Turmoil, Escape Academy is the fourth free game offered by the Epic Games Store in 2025.
- DLC available: Two DLC packs, "Escape From Anti-Escape Island" and "Escape From the Past," are available for purchase separately or as a Season Pass.
The next Epic Games Store free game will be announced on January 16th, once Escape Academy becomes available. Don't miss out on this critically acclaimed puzzle adventure!
