Escape Academy, a highly-rated escape-room style puzzle game, is the Epic Games Store's free game offering for January 16th, 2025. This marks the fourth free game offered by the EGS in 2025 and, based on its OpenCritic score of 80, is currently the highest-rated free game offered so far this year.
Players will have a full week, until January 23rd, to claim the game. Developed by Coin Crew Games, Escape Academy challenges players to hone their escape room skills as students at the titular academy. The game, initially released in July 2022, previously had a shorter free period on the EGS on January 1st, 2024. This current offer is particularly timely for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, as the game is slated to leave the service on January 15th.
This giveaway follows previous EGS free games in January 2025: Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Hell Let Loose, and Turmoil. The announcement of the fifth free game is anticipated on January 16th.
Escape Academy boasts positive player reviews across various platforms (Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox stores), and offers both solo and engaging online/split-screen multiplayer options, widely praised as a top-tier co-op puzzle game experience. Two DLC packs, Escape From Anti-Escape Island and Escape From the Past, are available for purchase separately or as a Season Pass.
