Faithful to its weekly tradition, the Epic Games Store is offering a brand new free game to all its users this Thursday. The objective is simple: enrich your library without taking out your bank card. The platform, known for its generous offers, has extended its loyalty program through a title that does not go unnoticed.
Succeeding Rustler Grand Theft Horse, a medieval parody of GTA already offered in recent days, the EGS makes an equally irreverent turn. From January 29, 2026 at 5 p.m., a new game takes over in an atmosphere that is at once zany, cynical and deliciously subversive.
Between fast cooking and illegal chemistry: an addictive double game
The new free game of the week is called Definitely Not Fried Chicken. Its principle? Mixing business management, illegal trafficking and dark humor in a universe that is strangely reminiscent of certain cult series. “From Thursday, January 29, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. sharp, it will give way to a new free Epic Games Store game that is just as crazy: Definitely Not Fried Chicken.”
Here, the player doesn’t just sell fries and drumsticks. He takes the head of an empire which hides a clandestine laboratory behind the kitchens of a KFC type restaurant. “You play an entrepreneur determined to build an empire by hiding his illegal activities under a respectable facade of fast food like El Pollo Loco or KFC for us good French people.”
This astonishing mix between legal trade and criminal business pushes you to juggle priorities: improving the production chain, training your teams and dodging the police radars.
Gameplay that’s sharper than it looks
Under its colorful graphics and humorous tone, Definitely Not Fried Chicken hides a much more complex management experience than one might believe. It’s not just about clicking frantically to reap profits.
You have to think about everything: production flows, the discreet delivery of prohibited substances, the hiring of profiles with questionable but effective skills… in short, a real strategic puzzle for those who love challenges. “Definitely Not Fried Chicken turns out to be more demanding than it seems, multiplying the systems and constraints to monitor.”
How and until when to download the game for free
This offer is temporary. Definitely Not Fried Chicken is available free of charge on the Epic Games Store from January 26 to February 5, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. sharp. Once this window has passed, it will no longer be free, and a new mystery game will take its place in the store.
To collect it, simply log in with an Epic Games account (free), go to the game page and click on the “Get” button. Once added to your library, the game is yours forever.
