October is behind us and Halloween is over, but the holiday season is only just beginning. Thanksgiving is in just a few short weeks, and then it's full steam ahead towards Christmas and New Year. The next few months are bound to be hectic, but the Epic Games Store may be able to help ease tensions.
The Epic Games Store has always made a mark during the holiday season, with its first round of freebies dropping back in December 2018, and some of its best free games often landing between October and December. While the Epic Games Store free games for November 2025 aren't the most high-profile drops, they should still serve as the perfect distraction for the start of the holiday season.
Epic Games Store Free Game for November 6: Felix The Reaper
A Puzzle Game To Help You Focus This Holiday Season
- Released October 2019
- Developed by Kong Orange
- 3D puzzle game
- Players control Felix The Reaper, a dancing death-bringer who must stick to the shadows
- An original soundtrack featuring 10+ indie artists
- Time trials and Hardcore levels offer further challenges
The holiday season can be absolute chaos. Even when everything's planned months in advance, the food's been sitting in the freezer for weeks, and everyone arrives on time, it can still devolve into chaos without a moment's notice. In the eye of this storm, it can be difficult to focus.
The Epic Games Store free game for November 6 might help with that. Felix The Reaper is a delightfully macabre puzzle game that puts players in the elegant shoes of the titular death-bringer. As Felix, it's the player's job to slowly make their way towards a target and send them to the afterlife.
Felix The Reaper features deceptively challenging gameplay. The mechanics themselves are fairly straightforward; players simply need to stick to the shadows projected by the objects on the game board. But players also have the ability to rotate the sun, which leads to some surprisingly complex, yet addictive puzzles.
While Felix The Reaper's calm and bright art design should help to relax players this holiday season, its simple yet thought-provoking puzzle gameplay should help them to focus during this season's most frenzied moments.

Epic Game Store Free Bundle for November 6: Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms
A Chill Strategy Game To Help You Relax This Holiday Season
Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is already a free-to-play game, but the Epic Games Store is offering a free bundle (Nixie's Champions of Renown pack) worth over $100 this November, which contains the following in-game items:
- Unlocks five Champions: Nixie (Seat 1), Mehen (Seat 3), Shadowheart (Seat 6), Freely (Seat 7), and Tess (Seat 8)
- 32 Platinum Chests for each of these five Champions and 2 guaranteed Shiny equipment cards each
- An exclusive Familiar, Sting the Scorpion
- A week-long Potion of the Gem Hunter
- A week-long potion of the Gold Hunter
A Dungeons and Dragons strategy management game, Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms could be exactly the game some need to relax and unwind during this busy holiday season. Idle Champions sees players unlocking 100+ Champions from across all corners of the DnD world, including characters from Baldur's Gate 3 and Companions of the Hall.
Players take their unlocked Champions, create a formation that best utilizes each of their powers, and send them off to explore a region of the Forgotten Realms. Champions will then automatically battle a range of iconic DnD monsters until they're defeated. With this free Epic Games Store Idle Champions bundle, players will also receive a Familiar that automatically levels up Champions and collects gold during battle.
Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms is far from the most complex game out there, but it's that simplicity that could make it the ideal companion to the holiday season. Players don't need to carve hours out of their schedule to grind Champions, they simply need to spend a few spare minutes sending their brave band of warriors off on a new adventure.
