Usually, the Epic Games Store offers one free game per week. But in December, the pace intensifies: a new title per day is planned until the New Year. This annual strategy aims to massively attract players during the most competitive period of the year.
The full list of games has reportedly leaked, revealing specific dates:
- December 18: Jurassic World: Evolution 2
- December 19: Desperados 3
- December 20: Total War: Warhammer
- December 21: Tropico 5
- December 22: Chicken Police – Paint it Red!
- December 23: Loop Hero
- December 24: LEGO Batman
- December 25: Commander Keen
- December 26: Farming Simulator 2022
- December 27: Slime Rancher 2
- December 28: Terraria
- December 29: Detroit: Become Human
- December 30: Mortal Kombat 11
- December 31: Red Dead Redemption 2
Between credible escape and feverish waiting
The community remains shared. Some doubt the inclusion of such prestigious titles. Red Dead Redemption 2 or Farming Simulator 2022, for example, are still very popular and regularly sold at high prices. Others are surprised to see a retro game like Commander Keen scheduled for December 25, a strategic day.
At the moment, Epic Games has neither confirmed nor denied the leak. Everything depends on verifying the first name announced, Jurassic World: Evolution 2, supposed to be offered on December 18.
To be monitored every day so as not to miss anything
With nearly $300 worth of content offered, this end-of-year operation could well revive players’ interest in the Epic Games Store. The only constraint: you have to log in daily so as not to miss a game, each title being available free of charge for only 24 hours.
Savvy players should therefore watch for each new publication in the store, and wait until the last minute before making their purchases.
A month of high-voltage gifts for Epic Games
By potentially offering AAA games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Mortal Kombat 11, Epic is playing big. The platform relies on generosity to build loyalty, at a key moment when players’ attention is in competition. Verdict in the coming days.
