The free games section on Epic Games Store has been refreshed, and this update has officially revealed the first PC giveaway planned for February 2026. The upcoming game giveaway is Botany Manor, which is paired with a DLC for a free game.
Epic Games Store has officially revealed its first PC giveaway plans for the first week of February 2026. As the recent leak suggested, the upcoming free game is Botany Manor, but this won’t be the only highlight. The storefront is adding a paid DLC for a free game named Pixel Gun 3D.
Among the two, Botany Manor is a relaxed first-person puzzle game. It’s set in a Victorian-era estate, and players get to take the role of Arabella Greene, a retired botanist. After rediscovering how to grow a series of forgotten plants, the primary goal of Arabella is to bring these rediscovered plants to life again.
The game is known for its cozy vibes, and there’s no combat, timer, or challenges that players need to tackle. Instead, progress on this upcoming Epic Games Store free game happens from careful observations, inspecting objects, reading notes, and piecing together different environmental clues.
Per player reviews, the intentional slow pacing is a big highlight, and the detailed environmental storytelling complements the overall gameplay. On Steam, it holds a 94% positive rating that’s based on over 800 reviews, and there’s full controller support (GameSir Nova Lite 2 curr. $26.99 on Amazon). However, puzzles aren’t challenging, and the linear nature of the game may not be for everyone. Botany Manor typically costs $24.99, but from February 05 to February 12, 2026, it will be available as a free game on Epic Games Store.
Moving to the free DLC, it’s the Poison Retro Set for the free game Pixel Gun 3D. It offers gameplay-focused and cosmetic items for the free-to-play shooter. The package offers the following:
- Poisonous Digital Sunrise
- Poisonous Wave Pulser
- Poisonous Laser Cycler
This DLC retails for $24.99 when not on sale, and it will be available with Botany Manor from February 05 to February 2026. Check out the videos below to learn more about the upcoming Epic Games Store PC giveaway.
