Free: Samorost 3 on Epic Games + Sonic theme arrives in Waze

Quick heads-up: the indie puzzle-adventure Samorost 3 is currently available to claim for free on the Epic Games Store, and navigation app Waze has introduced a Sonic-themed skin — likely a collaboration with SEGA — so users can bring a bit of gaming nostalgia to their drives.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Samorost 3 (Epic Games Store): The award-winning point-and-click adventure from Amanita Design can be claimed at no cost from the Epic Games Store. Visit the store page to add it to your library while the offer lasts: Epic Games — Samorost 3.
• Waze Sonic Theme: Waze is rolling out a Sonic-themed UI that swaps map icons and visual elements for Sonic-inspired assets. The theme appears to be offered in partnership with SEGA — check your Waze app’s theme or settings to enable it, or visit Waze for more details.

Both items are examples of how gaming and mainstream apps are teaming up to cross-promote content: one gives away a full game, the other adds a branded, playful experience inside a daily-use app.

If you didn’t catch this in your feed: check the Epic Games Store to claim Samorost 3, and open Waze to see if the Sonic theme is available for your account or region.
