Epic Games Store — New rotation starts today
Epic Games Store made its usual weekly swap this Thursday (November 5) and this one is noticeably better than recent rounds. The survival city-builder Flotsam from Belgian studio Pajama Llama Games (published by Stray Fawn Publishing) enters to replace Sorry We's Closed, which ends its free period after one week. Flotsam is a complete game — it left Early Access in December 2025 — and was priced at US$ 24.99 in the last check. The concept is specific and addictive: your town floats on a sea of garbage and you must collect floating debris, recycle it into resources, and expand a settlement of survivors that constantly navigates the ocean. Water needs desalination, fish need processing, and pollution spawns diseases requiring research — it's a city-builder that forces you to think about logistics and sustainability instead of just stacking buildings. The game runs on Windows and the promotion lasts until November 12. Flotsam on Epic Games Store
Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms, the week's second free title, is a Ubisoft free-to-play game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Technically free, but the promotion includes a ~US$ 100 item bundle — the "Morte's Glory Pack" — featuring five exclusive champions, platinum chests, and a drakonier familiar. The item bundle promotion runs until November 12. Idle Champions on Epic Games Store
