Key Takeaways
- Epic Games Store annual mystery game promotion returns Dec. 12.
- The promotion typically consists of daily giveaways.
- Users can claim current free games until next week’s mystery game is revealed.
Thursday, December 12 is going to be an exciting day for Epic Games Store users, as that’s the day that the annual mystery game promotion is making its long-awaited comeback. Every year in December, the Epic Games Store hosts a special mystery game promotion where it counts down to the new year. Typically, this promotion starts in mid-December and ends in early January.
There have been some variations when it comes to the Epic Games Store free mystery game promotion in the past. By and large, they have consisted of daily giveaways, but last year the first free mystery game was available for a week, with subsequent ones given away daily. The Epic Games Store free mystery games tend to include some higher-profile titles than the usual EGS fare, and so, regardless of if the giveaways are weekly or daily, PC gamers should have a lot of exciting free games to add to their digital libraries this month.

Some Epic Games Store Users Are Having Trouble with the Latest Free Game
One of the most recent games given away by Epic Games Store is reportedly experiencing issues with crashes and bugs.
Of course, the very nature of the Epic Games Store free mystery game promotion means that users don’t know what to expect. Usually, the Epic Games Store reveals the next free game in advance, but these promotions are the exception. Epic Games Store users will find out what the first free mystery game is on Thursday, December 12 at 10:00am CT. In the meantime, they are free to claim the current Epic Games Store free games, which are Bus Simulator 21: Next Stop and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

- Bus Simulator 21: Next Stop (December 5 – December 12)
- LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (December 5 – December 12)
- Mystery Game (December 12)
The current Epic Games Store free games will be free until December 12, at which point the mystery game will be cycled in to replace them. While it remains to be seen what the first Epic Games Store mystery game is, there is a chance that users will find out before it’s properly revealed. The Epic Games Store free mystery games have leaked in the past, and those leaks almost always turn out to be accurate. It’s entirely possible the exact same thing will happen with this year’s EGS free mystery game promotion, but fans will just have to wait and see.
Overall, the Epic Games Store has had a pretty solid 2024 when it comes to its free game giveaways. Epic Games Store free games this year have included classic games like the original Fallout titles and newer releases like Brotato and Deceive Inc. Users were also treated to Castlevania Anniversary Collection, which gave them eight games in one package. The Epic Games Store free game giveaways are likely to continue in 2025, and it will be very interesting to see if they top 2024’s offerings.
