For those unfamiliar with the games, Bus Simulator 21 is exactly as it sounds – it’s a simulation game where players drive a bus. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, meanwhile, is the latest release from Traveller’s Tales. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga introduced many new features and gameplay mechanics that had never been seen in the LEGO game series before, but it was criticized for rather severe technical issues at the time of its release. Still, the game has a ton of content for players to check out, so Epic Games Store users should make a note to claim it when it’s free on December 5.
It remains to be seen what will replace Bus Simulator 21 and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga on December 12, but it’s possible that day will be the start of the Epic Games Store daily free mystery game promotion. Every December, the Epic Games Store hosts a free mystery game promotion as a way to count down to the new year, with the festivities typically starting in the middle of the month. The event includes daily free game giveaways as opposed to the weekly ones that EGS users are typically treated to, making it an especially exciting time for PC gamers.
