Epic Games Store Free Games: Mindcop and Shogun Showdown Start Sept 17

Simon Ellis 2 min read

Epic Games Store free games update brings Mindcop and Shogun Showdown starting September 17. Mechabellum arrives next week for Windows users.

Epic Games is refreshing its free game lineup on the Epic Games Store starting September 17. This change gives players a new set of titles to claim before the next batch arrives later in the month. Gamers looking to expand their libraries without spending money should check the store this week.

New titles arrive before Mechabellum takes over next week

The current rotation ends on September 17 with Astral Ascent and Luftrausers for Windows. Android and iOS users can currently claim Alone With You. These titles remain available for free until the update takes effect.

Starting September 17, the store adds Mindcop and Shogun Showdown. Mindcop supports Windows, iOS, and iPadOS, while Shogun Showdown is available on Windows. Mindcop is a story-driven detective game, but the full mobile version requires payment after the free trial period.

The next title arrives from September 24 to October 1. Mechabellum will be available for Windows users during this window. This real-time strategy game features cross-platform support, PvP, and co-op modes.

A Reddit user named u/Meguminshiro provided early details about the Mindcop mobile availability. This information comes from a leaker rather than an official Epic Games announcement. We confirmed the Windows and iOS support for Mindcop through the store's scheduled refresh.
