Epic Games Gives Away Free Shapez and DC Heroes United

Author:Kristen Update:Jan 15,2026
  • This week's free release on the Epic Games Store is Shapez.
  • It's a captivating, minimalist factory-building puzzle game.
  • An exclusive new free bundle of in-game items is also available for DC Heroes Unite.

As the weekend approaches, many of you have been looking forward to the Epic Games Store's weekly free game. Following last week's offer of Ogu and the Secret Forest, this week brings a free bundle for DC Heroes United alongside the excellent factory puzzle game Shapez, now free to claim and keep permanently.

We were already aware that DC Heroes United would receive a free bundle upon its mobile launch. This appears to be the promised bundle, containing plenty of in-game currency, items, and an exclusive Batman Troika skin for the game's roguelite mode.

For devoted puzzle fans, Shapez likely needs no introduction. This streamlined experience focuses on building conveyor belts, changing colors, and manipulating shapes. The core challenge is logistics and efficiency: you must devise optimal methods to flip, reduce, recolor, and combine shapes to meet the demands of unseen customers.
