The Epic Games Store's weekly free game rotation is back with two unique adventures: one takes you to space, the other to the world of horse racing. Breathedge and Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition are both available for free until September 3 at 6:00 PM local time.

What is Breathedge

Developed by RedRuins Softworks, Breathedge is a space survival game laced with dark humor. You play as an ordinary man who, while transporting his grandfather’s ashes, crashes in a spaceship. You’ll have to manage oxygen, craft tools, operate vehicles, and even control space stations while navigating wreckage, coffins, and debris. Inspired by Subnautica-style survival mechanics, Breathedge stands out with its sarcastic tone. The timing of this free offer is no coincidence: Breathedge 2 just launched in Early Access on August 31.

Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition

Brought to you by PikPok, this horse racing and management sim puts you in charge of reviving a rundown family stable. Breed, train, care for, and race your own horses. The game features story races, online multiplayer mode, and a Cross Country course focused on jumping skills. The Desktop Edition also introduces a local Betting Party mode, letting you use in-game currency in virtual races.
