Epic Games Is Giving Away Two Free PC Games for a Limited Time This Week
KeepUp Survival free claim offer is now live on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers a chance to permanently add the open-world survival game to their library without paying anything. The limited-time giveaway is available until July 19, 2026, at 5 PM BST, and unlike Epic’s regular weekly free games, this offer comes directly from developer Witte Studio.
The survival adventure normally costs $14.99 / £12.79, making the free deal a good opportunity for players looking for a new PC game. Once claimed before the deadline, KeepUp Survival will remain permanently available in the player’s Epic Games Store library.
KeepUp Survival Gameplay, Story and Features
KeepUp Survival is a base-building exploration game that will appeal to fans of survival titles like Valheim. Players are dropped on a mysterious island after a plane crash caused by a global disaster. The island once contained a secret research facility that was working on a cure, but failed experiments left behind dangerous secrets.
It’s a blend of classic survival gameplay, exploration and crafting. Players must gather resources, craft tools, build a base, and defend themselves as they explore the deserted world. Survival has hunger, thirst and exhaustion systems that you must constantly manage. Vehicles and a day night cycle add more depth to survival.
KeepUp Survival is designed as a relaxed survival experience with no fixed ending, but it also has a story-driven mystery. Players find recordings made by Jill, a woman who lived on the island before the disaster. Her messages concern weird experiments and secret research underneath the facility.
In the game itself there are no traditional zombies, but in the base game you can find evidence of experiments that created dangerous creatures. For those who prefer a more action-oriented experience, there is also a free zombie expansion beta available on Steam.
Free Giveaway Details and Player Feedback
KeepUp Survival is an open world game with no time to finish, so players can explore and survive as long as they want.
Some players have complained about technical problems and called it “janky”, while others praised its atmosphere, graphics and immersive survival aspects.
KeepUp Survival is free until July 19, 2026, so players interested in survival, crafting, and exploration games on PC have a limited time to grab the game. After adding it to their Epic Games Store account, the game will remain available permanently.
