PC players have a limited-time opportunity to grab NoRush! – Tower Edition completely free of charge. The 2025 3D platformer from developer FiveStar is currently available at a price of $0.00, a promotion that runs until September 9 at 04:00 AM. This is not part of the Epic Games Store’s weekly freebies, but rather a direct offer from the developer itself, giving fans a chance to keep the game forever. The news was reported by Gamerant.
The giveaway is notable because NoRush! – Tower Edition normally sells for about $3 USD on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. This marks the second time FiveStar has run such a promotion, following a similar free claim event back in July. For players who enjoy accessible 3D platformers, this is a straightforward way to add a new title to their library without spending anything.
What Is NoRush! – Tower Edition?
NoRush! – Tower Edition puts players in control of an adorable unicorn-like character tasked with climbing a 300-meter tower (~985 feet) as quickly as possible while evading waves of obstacles. The core loop involves collecting coins and obtaining power-ups that let you skip certain parts of the path. Those coins can then be used to unlock new playable characters, each featuring a plushie-like design that serves as one of the game’s biggest payoffs.
Developer FiveStar describes the experience as “a thrilling climb filled with tough obstacles” and lots of failures. The mechanics are fairly simple, including basic moves like jumping and sliding, which makes it a perfect 3D platformer for beginners and younger gamers. The game’s design emphasizes quick, repeatable runs rather than complex systems, keeping the barrier to entry low.
System Requirements and Claim Details
Before claiming the game, players should verify their PC meets the minimum specifications. NoRush! – Tower Edition requires Windows 10 or 11, 2 GB of memory, 400 MB of storage, and DirectX 11. For the GPU, the minimum is an Intel UHD 630 or Radeon Vega 8, though FiveStar recommends a GeForce GTX 750 or Radeon R9 270X for the best performance.
The promotion ends on September 9 at 04:00 AM, so interested players should act before that deadline. Since the game is being offered directly by the developer, the claim process is separate from the Epic Games Store’s regular weekly rotation. Those who already claimed the game during the July promotion will not need to do so again, as the game remains in their library permanently.
Other Free Games on PC Right Now
While NoRush! – Tower Edition is a standout offer, PC users also have other free titles available. The Epic Games Store’s August freebies currently include Breathedge and Rival Stars Horse Racing: Desktop Edition, both free to keep until September 3. After that date, they will be replaced by Alone With You.
On Steam, the free-to-keep offers are less compelling at the moment. Players currently have access to a Microsoft Flight Simulator DLC that provides free music without any in-game benefits. According to reports, Valve’s storefront is expected to give away at least three DLC bundles for some indie games in October, though this remains UNCONFIRMED at this time.
For fans of 3D platformers or anyone looking to expand their library at no cost, NoRush! – Tower Edition represents a solid pick-up before the September 9 deadline. The game’s simple mechanics, charming character designs, and low system requirements make it accessible to a wide range of players.
