The Epic Games Store's 16 Christmas Free Games Giveaway

The Epic Games Store is gearing up to offer an incredible Christmas treat with 16 free games during the holiday period. This news comes from the ever-reliable dataminer billbil-kun, who claims that the promotion will kick off on December 12 alongside the Epic Games Store's Holiday Sale. Epic Games has a history of running similar Christmas promotions in the past couple of years, and this year, as usual, the weekly free Epic Games Store title remains a mystery. Instead, the company is set to provide a "mystery game" each day starting from December 19 for 15 consecutive days. These games will be available for claim for just 24 hours, except for the last one which will be free from January 2-9.

Epic Games Store's Current Free Games

Currently, the Epic Game Store is giving away Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop. These games are available for free until 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST on Thursday, after which they will be replaced by the first mystery free game.

Details of the Christmas Giveaway

Tomorrow's free game, as claimed by billbil-kun, will be available for one week. This gives players ample time to enjoy the game before the next round of mystery games begins. The daily mystery games from December 19 to January 9 offer a unique opportunity for players to discover new titles and expand their gaming libraries. It's an exciting event that keeps players on their toes, wondering what the next free game will be.

Comparison with Amazon Games

While the Epic Games Store is busy with its Christmas giveaway, Amazon Games is also offering a treat to Prime subscribers. In December, they are providing over 25 PC games at no extra charge. These include enhanced editions of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2, The Outer Worlds, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, Tomb Raider Underworld, and Overcooked 2. It's a great competition between the two platforms, giving players more choices and value during the holiday season.
