Claim Rustler Free on Epic Games Store Jan 22 to 29

Epic Games Store is handing out Rustler, also known as Grand Theft Horse, as its free weekly PC title through 4pm GMT Jan 29. Players with an Epic account can claim the top-down, medieval-GTA style sandbox between 4pm GMT Jan 22 and 4pm GMT Jan 29 and keep it forever once added to their libraries.

Rustler comes from Jutsu Games and trades modern city crime for pixelated pillaging in a parody-laced medieval world. The game blends theft, brawls, quests, and sandbox mayhem in a compact top-down package. Its tone leans heavily into parody humor, so expect tongue-in-cheek nods to open-world tropes and plenty of chaotic set pieces that reward improvisation over strict stealth or planning.

The giveaway is part of Epic Games Store’s regular rotation of free weekly titles. For many players, these promotions are a low-friction way to expand a PC library and sample indie projects that might otherwise fly under the radar. Streamers and content creators who enjoy short-form, spectacle-driven gameplay will find Rustler’s fast chaos useful for quick clips and highlights, while single players can enjoy the game as a breezy sandbox to drop into between larger releases.

Practical steps are simple: sign into an Epic account, open the Epic Games Store client or website, and add Rustler to your library during the promotion window. The GameGrin announcement that flagged the times puts the start and end at 4pm GMT on Jan 22 and Jan 29 respectively. Multiple outlets confirmed Rustler as the free Epic pick for the week, so the giveaway is well established and not a surprise drop.

Rustler’s indie scale means it is accessible on modest hardware and can be a palate cleanser after more demanding PC titles. Jutsu Games has built a small cult audience around the game’s mix of slapstick and sandbox design, so grabbing it now plugs players into that community conversation without cost. Adding Rustler also preserves access for later play, mod experiments, or streaming sessions.

For players who like to keep their Epic libraries trimmed, this is one to consider claiming even if immediate play is unlikely. Rustler will remain free to claim until 4pm GMT Jan 29, after which the promotion ends and the title returns to sale. Saddle up and add it now if you want a week of medieval mischief on the cheap.
