Epic Games Store: Out of Sight and TerraScape free until 15 October 2026
Epic Games Store is reportedly giving away Out of Sight and TerraScape free until Thursday, 15 October 2026 at 10:00 CST.
The source places this October lineup in a fixed Thursday cycle and names System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster and Buried Stars as the starting point. The schedule mentioned here comes from the article and has not been independently verified live.
What happened
According to Gamerant, Epic Games Store is running a weekly free-games rotation in October 2026 on Thursdays. In the current round, Out of Sight and TerraScape are the free titles players can claim until Thursday, 15 October 2026 at 10:00 CST. The publication explicitly notes that the rotation changes several times during the month and that the schedule is updated each Thursday.
The article also previews the next switch: on 15 October 2026 at 10:00 CST, Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise and Bad Cheese would replace the current freebies. That keeps the report within the same October schedule described by the source. The text ties that change to the usual Epic Games Store structure, where free games are available for one week before the next set appears.
As a recap, the source says the October run began with System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster and Buried Stars. Gamerant also adds that Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise launched in 2019 and received mostly positive reviews, while Bad Cheese is described as a psychological horror game with an art style inspired by 1920s cartoons. The provided text also says Bad Cheese was received less positively than Agent A, though that line is not fully visible in the excerpt.

Background
The provided information focuses on the weekly structure of Epic Games Store freebies and the titles included in the October 2026 rotation. The source also gives brief context for each game, including the release year of Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise and the horror profile of Bad Cheese. That means the article not only lists which games are free, but also shows how the month’s lineup is building.
The titles show Epic Games Store mixing different genres during this period. System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster and Buried Stars open the month according to the source, followed by Out of Sight and TerraScape, and then Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise and Bad Cheese are named as the next set. The source specifically notes 2019 as the release year for Agent A and describes it as positively received, while Bad Cheese is presented as a psychological horror game with a visual style that draws on 1920s cartoons.
Because the provided text does not include live store verification, the safest reading is to treat this as Gamerant’s reported schedule rather than independently confirmed real-time store data. The source does mention a fixed Thursday cycle and a 10:00 CST time, but the material does not provide additional confirmation that this is a universal Epic Games Store reset. The only hard time references in the excerpt are the dates 8 October, 10 October, 15 October, and 22 October 2026.
