The Epic Games Store free games for the week of March 6, 2026 are now available to claim. Every week, Epic gives away one or more games at no cost — you add them to your library and keep them forever, even after the giveaway ends. This week’s lineup features a quirky roguelite heist game and a high-value DLC pack for a popular free-to-play RPG. Here’s everything you need to know before the March 12 deadline.
What’s Free on Epic Games Store This Week (March 6–12, 2026)
- Turnip Boy Robs a Bank — Free until March 12, 2026 at 11 AM ET
- Raistlin’s Renown Pack (Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms DLC) — Free until March 12, 2026 at 11 AM ET
Both offers go live on the Epic Games Store free games page and expire on March 12. You must have a free Epic Games account to claim them, and once they’re in your library, they’re yours permanently.
Turnip Boy Robs a Bank
Developer: Snoozy Kazoo | Genre: Action-Adventure Roguelite | Originally released: January 2024
What Is It?
Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is the follow-up to the critically beloved Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion — a game that did everything right in a short, charming package. In this sequel, the notorious vegetable criminal teams up with the Pickled Gang to pull off the most absurd bank heist in gaming history. You’ll explore the Botanical Bank, shake down hostages for loose cash, fight off waves of law enforcement, and unlock increasingly ridiculous weapons and upgrades — all wrapped in a comedic art style that’s equal parts adorable and chaotic.
The game shifts from the first entry’s top-down RPG format into a roguelite loop: each run takes you deeper into the bank’s vaults, picking up relics and weapons, battling bosses, and eventually dying or escaping. Progression carries over between runs, so you’ll gradually unlock permanent upgrades and story revelations that keep things moving forward.
Is It Worth Playing?
At launch, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank earned positive reviews from most major outlets. PC Gamer called the gameplay loop “nice and simple,” while Rock Paper Shotgun noted it “doesn’t outstay its welcome” — high praise for a roguelite that knows its limits. The Metacritic consensus landed in the mid-70s: not a masterpiece, but a charming, funny game that delivers solid entertainment in a compact package.
The main criticism is that the bank environment doesn’t change dramatically between runs, making later sessions feel repetitive. If you’re looking for a 20-hour roguelite with infinite replayability, this isn’t it. But for a breezy 3–5 hour comedic romp with genuinely funny writing and snappy gunplay, it’s a worthwhile claim — especially for free.
Who Is It For?
- Fans of the original Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion — this continues the story directly
- Players who want a quick, casual roguelite that doesn’t demand a huge time investment
- Anyone who appreciates absurdist humor and weird video game premises
- Newcomers to roguelites who want a gentle entry point
System Requirements (PC): Windows 10/11, Intel Core i5 or equivalent, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or equivalent. Most modern laptops and desktops will run it without issue.
Raistlin’s Renown Pack — Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms
Developer: Codename Entertainment | Genre: Idle Strategy RPG | Free-to-play base game
What Is It?
Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is a free-to-play strategy game built around the Dungeons & Dragons universe. It unites iconic characters from D&D tabletop campaigns, video games, novels, actual plays, and shows into a grand formation-based adventure. You optimize teams of Champions — each with unique abilities — to push through increasingly difficult monster encounters across hundreds of adventures.
The Raistlin’s Renown Pack (also known as the Dragonlance Pack) is the premium item on offer this week. This bundle is normally priced at over $100 and includes an impressive roster of playable characters: Raistlin Majere (the iconic Dragonlance mage), Gale (from Baldur’s Gate 3), Spurt, Briv, and Ellywick Tumblestrum. It also comes loaded with potions, chests, and other in-game currency that can meaningfully accelerate your progress.
Is It Worth Claiming?
Even if you’ve never played Idle Champions, this pack is worth grabbing purely for the value. A $100+ DLC bundle going free is about as “buy it for life” as digital goods get — these items won’t expire once they’re in your account. If you ever do try the game, you’ll have a major head start with an elite Champion roster and a stash of resources.
For existing Idle Champions players, this is a no-brainer. Raistlin is one of the most beloved characters in D&D lore, and Gale is a fan favorite from the massively popular Baldur’s Gate 3. Getting both alongside three other Champions in a single free pack is genuinely exceptional value.
Idle Champions is an idle/incremental game — it plays itself while you optimize formations and check in periodically. It’s not for everyone, but it has a dedicated community and years of content. The base game is always free; this pack just makes it significantly better.
Who Is It For?
- D&D fans, especially Dragonlance and Baldur’s Gate 3 enthusiasts
- Idle game players looking for a D&D-themed option with deep meta-building
- Anyone who wants $100 worth of premium game content for zero cost
- Collectors: even if you don’t play now, the pack is yours to use whenever
How to Claim Your Free Epic Games Store Games
- Head to the Epic Games Store Free Games page
- Log in to your Epic Games account (or create one for free)
- Click on each free game and select “Get” — it works like a checkout even though the price is $0
- Both games will be added to your library permanently — you can download them anytime
The Epic Games Store updates its free game rotation every Thursday at 11 AM ET (8 AM PT). Offers disappear at that exact time, so don’t wait until the last minute.
What’s Coming Next on Epic Games Store
Epic typically teases next week’s free games before the current ones expire. Check back Thursday, March 12 to see what replaces this week’s lineup. Epic has given away notable titles throughout 2026 so far, including Total War: Three Kingdoms, Bloons TD 6, Nobody Wants to Die, and more — the year has had a solid mix of indie gems and mid-tier hits.
Is This Week’s Epic Freebie Lineup Worth It?
Short answer: yes, especially the Idle Champions pack. A $100+ bundle of premium DLC going free is a rare offer regardless of whether you’re currently playing the game. Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is a fun, short ride that earns its place in any casual gamer’s library.
Neither of these is a AAA blockbuster, but that’s fine — Epic’s weekly freebies have always been hit-or-miss, and this week leans more toward “hidden value” than “flashy headline.” If you’ve ever been curious about D&D idle games or want a quick, funny roguelite to burn an afternoon on, this is a great week to check in.
Both offers expire March 12, 2026 at 11 AM ET. Don’t miss them.
