Epic Games Store is giving away Prop Sumo and TOMAK: Save the Earth Regeneration for free until April 16, 2026. Next week, the $29.99 tactical stealth game The Stone of Madness joins the lineup.
Epic Games Store is giving away two games for free during the week of April 13, 2026: the physics-based party brawler Prop Sumo and the cult classic remaster TOMAK: Save the Earth Regeneration. Both titles can be permanently added to your library until April 16, 2026. Starting next week, the $29.99 tactical stealth game The Stone of Madness from the Blasphemous developers will also be available at no cost.
What Is Prop Sumo and Is It Worth Playing?
Prop Sumo is a brand-new party fighting game developed by Barrel Roll Games that launched on April 9, 2026. The concept takes the arena brawler formula popularized by Super Smash Bros. and adds a bizarre twist: instead of playing as characters, you control everyday objects like scarecrows, barrels, magnets, rocking horses, and soda cans. The game is normally priced at $9.99 on Steam (currently 25% off at $7.49 as an introductory offer), but it is completely free on Epic Games Store this week.
The game supports 2 to 6 players in online and local multiplayer matches. It features over 40 playable props, 22 special weapons and items, and 9 dynamic maps. Players can customize their props with hats, glasses, and other cosmetic items, and unlock new content through progression. Match rules can be adjusted with custom lives, obstacle settings, and round timers. If you enjoy chaotic couch co-op experiences, Prop Sumo is absolutely worth adding to your library, especially at the price of free.
TOMAK: Save the Earth Regeneration: A Cult Classic Returns
TOMAK: Save the Earth Regeneration is a remastered version of the 2001 South Korean PC cult hit, released by Netmarble Monster on April 2, 2026 to celebrate the game’s 25th anniversary. The original was developed by Seed9, and Netmarble Monster (the studio’s successor) handled this re-release. It is free on Epic Games Store until April 16, after which it will be priced at $8.99 (or €8.99 in Europe).
The premise is wonderfully absurd: the gods have condemned humanity, and Evian, the Goddess of Love, descends to Earth to prove true love still exists. Unfortunately, she loses her body to divine opposition and ends up as a head planted in a flowerpot. Over three in-game years, you nurture Evian, make choices that affect multiple possible endings, and attempt to save the world. It blends raising simulation mechanics (similar to Princess Maker) with dating sim elements. Language support includes English, Japanese, and Korean. It is a niche experience, but free is the perfect price to try something this unusual.
How to Claim Free Games on Epic Games Store
Claiming your free games takes just a few steps:
- Visit the Epic Games Store website or open the desktop launcher and sign in. If you do not have an account, you can create one for free.
- Navigate to the “Free Games” section on the store page, or search directly for Prop Sumo or TOMAK.
- Click the “Get” button on the game’s store page.
- Confirm the transaction. You do not need to download the game immediately; adding it to your library is enough.
Once added to your library, the games are yours permanently, even after the promotion period ends. Epic Games Store updates its free game lineup every Thursday at 4 PM GMT / 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT. Since launching this program in late 2018, Epic has given away over 700 games with a combined value exceeding $10,000.
Next Week’s Free Game: The Stone of Madness ($29.99 Value)
Starting April 16, The Stone of Madness becomes the next free offering on Epic Games Store, running until April 23. Developed by The Game Kitchen (the studio behind Blasphemous and Blasphemous 2) and published by Tripwire Presents, this is a real-time tactical stealth game set in an 18th-century Spanish Jesuit monastery in the Pyrenees.
The game puts you in control of five prisoners, each with unique abilities and fears, as you plan and execute an escape from a sinister monastery that doubles as a madhouse and inquisitorial prison. It features a distinctive art style inspired by the paintings of Francisco de Goya, a sanity system where characters can panic, hallucinate, or break down, and a day/night loop that blends stealth mechanics with roguelike elements. On Metacritic, it holds a 79% user review score. The Steam price is $29.99 (€28.99), making this one of the more valuable freebies in recent weeks.
Reviews have praised its originality and visual identity, though some players noted finicky controls and steep difficulty. If you enjoy tactical games like Shadow Tactics or Desperados 3, The Stone of Madness is a strong pickup, and next week is the time to grab it for nothing.
Which Free Game Should You Prioritize?
Prop Sumo is best suited for players who regularly play with friends and enjoy quick, casual party games. Its physics-driven chaos makes it easy to pick up and hard to put down during group sessions. As a day-one launch freebie, the player base should be healthy, and the Friend Pass feature lets you invite others who do not yet own the game.
TOMAK is a much more niche proposition. Its bizarre premise and retro simulation mechanics will appeal to fans of oddball indie games, dating sims, or anyone curious about a piece of early-2000s Korean gaming history. It is not for everyone, but the asking price of zero makes it a risk-free experiment.
The real headline is The Stone of Madness arriving next week. At nearly $30 in value, it is the most commercially significant free game on Epic’s April calendar so far. Mark April 16 in your diary.
