Epic Games Store Will Give 16 Free Games This Holiday

According to the recent leak, Epic Games Store will offer players total of 16 free games this holiday, between December 12 and January 9, 2025.

16 Free Games from Epic Games Store

Last week, gamers discovered that the Epic Games Store will start giving out Mystery Games on December 12 at 11 AM EST. Normally, the PC gaming store reveals its next free game a full week in advance, but this promotion is different, as gamers will gain a free new game every day during the event, but will only discover its title when they can already claim it. However, Epic Games has not officially confirmed how long the traditional promotion would last in 2024.

Now, a prominent leaker called billbil-kun revealed (via Dealabs) that the Epic Games Store will offer 16 Mystery Games, starting on December 12. The first game will be available for a week until December 19, when one free game or DLC will be available daily until January 2. Then, the last free Mystery Game will be unveiled, and it will remain free for one week, until January 9. At the moment, it’s not yet known whether the classic 33% discount coupon that accompanies this promotion will be back, so gamers should keep an eye out for it, too. Unfortunately, the Epic Games Store has not confirmed the information provided by this leak, so it’s always best to take it with a grain of salt. In any case, billbil-kun is a respected insider who has correctly reported Epic Games Store leaks in the past, so the information is likely reliable.

While it’s currently impossible to know which games will be available on the Epic Games Store starting on December 12, it’s possible to look at Epic Games Store’s Mystery Games from 2023 to gain some insight. Last year, fans were able to claim some well-known titles, such as Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, Ghostwire: Tokyo, The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition, Saints Row, and others, as well as more niche offerings like Cat Quest, Art of Rally, and Cursed to Golf.

Also, this is the last chance for gamers to claim two free games on the Epic Games Store: Bus Simulator 21 and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Both games will be offered until December 12 and will become unavailable as soon as the first Mystery Game starts to be offered.
