It's a tradition that is now well established and which makes gamers happy. Every year as the end-of-year holidays approach, the Epic Games Store treats its users by offering free games. Here's what's planned for this Christmas 2024.

Get these first games

First of all, until this Thursday, December 12, you can get LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop without spending a single cent. Once these titles are in your library, you will be able to play them “for life” whenever you want.

A mystery game on December 12th

The festivities continue this Thursday with a mystery game that will be given away for free. Currently, no one knows what it is, but some rumors indicate that it could be Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. We only have a few more days to wait to verify this information.

Gifts every day to celebrate Christmas?

Assuming that the Epic Games Store reproduces the same pattern as last year, we will have to wait an additional week until December 19 for the advent calendar to be launched. Thus, no less than 17 free games, at a rate of one each day, could be offered each day, which would take us until the start of the school year in January.

Of course, it's impossible to know which games will be chosen. This is actually a good thing, because it creates a sort of daily ritual during the holiday season and sometimes brings nice surprises.

Last year, Epic offered titles such as Destiny 2: Legacy Collection, Fallout 3, Ghostwire: Tokyo, The Outer Worlds, and Human Resource Machine, Melvor Idle, and Saint Row. It was also quite impressive in 2022: Horizon Chase Turbo, Sable, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Metro: Last Light Redux, or even Dishonored – Definitive Edition.

We also often say that the store had literally broken the Internet by offering some hyper-popular triple-A titles, such as The Witcher III and GTA V. Who knows if they won't manage to make an impression again this year.

Steam sales on December 19

If the Epic Games Store creates the event, its big rival, Steam, will not be inactive. It will offer, as every year, its traditional Christmas sales. You will have to be a little patient, however, since this promotional period will start on December 19 and end on January 2.
