Epic Games Store has announced a new giveaway that lets PC gamers add the title We Were Here Together to their libraries without paying a cent.
Co‑op puzzle title demands teamwork
The second title, We Were Here Together, is a first‑person co‑op game that can only be played with two participants. Set in a frozen Antarctic environment, each player receives a walkie‑talkie and must rely on conversation to handle asymmetrical challenges. Developer Total Mayhem emphasizes that “observation, smart communication and teamwork will be the only way to escape from the sinister Castle Rock.”
Players start with minimal equipment, forcing them to share information about their surroundings. The puzzles often require one player to see something the other cannot, creating a dynamic where both must listen closely. The design encourages a steady dialogue, as any misstep can stall progress.

The giveaway ends on August 13.
Both titles will remain free to claim until that date, giving users a seven‑day window to add them permanently to their Epic Games Store accounts. Afterward, the store plans to rotate in two new freebies on the same day, continuing its weekly promotion cycle.
The platform’s giveaway program also extends to mobile devices. Android and iOS users can browse the store’s weekly offers to claim free titles compatible with their devices. At the time of writing, a separate promotion for the game Moonlighter is active on Steam, providing another option for gamers seeking no‑cost experiences.

For newcomers, the significance of such giveaways lies in the broader trend of digital storefronts using free titles to attract and retain users. By offering full games at no cost, platforms can increase traffic, encourage account creation, and potentially drive future purchases or subscription sign‑ups. This approach also benefits indie developers, who gain exposure to a larger audience without the usual marketing expenses.
The platform’s latest promotion reflects its ongoing strategy to keep the catalog lively and appealing. While the free period is brief, the permanent addition of We Were Here Together means players can explore the cooperative challenge at their own pace, without the pressure of a limited‑time trial.
