Epic Is Giving Away 15 Free Games This Holiday

Snag one free game each day until December 30.

13 Comments

The Epic Games Store is once again hosting its 15 Days of Christmas giveaway event. From now through December 29, you can claim one free game every day on the Epic Games Store. Typically, Epic gives away one or two free games each week, so now's your chance to stock up and play some new games over the holidays.

In previous years, the promotion has included some very popular games in both the AAA and indie spaces. Just like Christmas morning, you won't know what your mystery gift is until it "unwraps." The surprise is part of the fun. If you want to try to figure out the identity of the next freebie, the wrapping paper covering the next freebie's artwork will contain clues.

It's important to stress that each free game in this promotion will only be available for 24 hours. Each game will go live at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, so you may want to set a recurring reminder for yourself. This promotion is replacing the normal weekly cadence of freebies until 2023 rolls around.

While you're at Epic claiming your freebies, make sure to snag the free content Epic has for Fortnite, PUBG, Fall Guys, and Warframe. Epic is also hosting a massive holiday sale until January 5.

The Epic Games Store isn't the only retailer giving away free games this holiday. Amazon Prime members will be able to grab 10 free games starting December 27.

What was the point of creating a list if you're not going to update it? :)

@za1us: Exactly. I wanted to know which game I missed on Christmas, as I was out of town and had no access to the Epic Store to claim it. By the time I got back on the 26th, the game for the 25th already expired.

The problem is how much we/most hate Fortnite &

the streamers associated with it.

Epic keeps giving away all these fodder games

that will only clog up a library.

I used to add everythign to my Steam account and now it's somehwere around 1300 games & so many are the garbage bundle titles.

@sippio: Hmmm, I'm looking at the "fodder games" in my Epic library that I got for free. Amnesia: Rebirth, the entire Bioshock series, Control, ARK, Darkwood, Borderlands 3, Evil Dead, Football Manager 2022, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, In Sound Mind, etc etc. All within the past year. I also got a huge discount on FFVIII Remake Intergrade. And I have never played or even downloaded Fortnite before.

If you find something to complain about with getting free titles like this, I'd hate to be the poor schmuck who attempts to make you happy. What a losing battle.

@sippio: Aside from Bloons which is whatever, the rest are all critically acclaimed indie titles. Wolftenstein The New Order was leaked for tomorrow and two big AAA games were teased from the same leaker for the last two days of the giveaway.

You don't have to like every platform out there but you shouldn't disparage good games just for being on them.

Epic Store is gross! Worst platform ever made! I'm so glad that Microsoft purchased Gears of War because it would be gone like the Unreal Tournament & Rock Band franchise will be soon.

@vgmkyle: origin is the worst platform. Also, you expect Rock band, which is decades old to support online play against the companies best internet? No one even plays that online anymore, barely even when it was relevant, the lag was terrible. That’s a coUchia co op type game anyways.

@shalomanoray: Never had any problems w/Epic's platform on any of the 4 gaming platforms I use it on. Sure, Steam has a nice Discussions forun for their 30% cut, but otherwise it's just a big storefront too. I have hundreds of games in each.

@shalomanoray: Epic gives me more trouble than Origin. But then, I only use Origin for Star Wars.

@santinegrete: oooh, I forgot about Uplay. That one kicks me out and disconnects for no reason. Division is literally unplayable because of the platform itself for me.
