The Epic Games Store has announced that two popular PC titles, Isonzo and Cozy Grove, will be available for free starting March 12, 2026. Both games boast high positive ratings on Steam and offer distinct gameplay experiences. This follows the recent launch of the store's March freebies.
The Epic Games Store continues its tradition of offering free PC games with a new announcement for mid-March 2026. On March 12, 2026, players will be able to claim Isonzo and Cozy Grove at no cost, both of which have earned strong acclaim on Steam.
Isonzo, released in 2022 by BlackMill Games, is a realistic World War I shooter set in the mountainous Italian battlefields. It features vertical maps that incorporate elevation-based strategies, including avalanches and climbing mechanics. The game supports up to 48 players in matches, with six classes and customizable loadouts using more than 50 historical weapons. It has received an 86% positive rating from over 7,600 Steam reviews and normally costs $29.99. However, it lacks robust tutorials, making it less accessible for beginners, and matches can last over 30 minutes.
Complementing the action-oriented Isonzo is Cozy Grove, a 2021 life simulation game where players inhabit a haunted island, assisting ghost bears through quests to revive the environment's color and vitality. The title showcases hand-drawn, evolving landscapes in a campaign exceeding 40 hours, which aligns with real-world time progression. It shares similarities with Animal Crossing but includes spooky narrative elements. Cozy Grove holds a 90% positive Steam rating from more than 3,700 reviews and retails for $14.99. Players may find its fetch quests repetitive and the daily time limits restrictive for extended play sessions.
These free offerings highlight the Epic Games Store's strategy to provide diverse gaming experiences, from intense historical combat to relaxed exploration.
