The Epic Games Store is offering 16 free mystery games between December 12, 2024 and January 9, 2025, according to a recent leak. The Epic Games Store traditionally offers free games daily at the end of each year, so fans have been looking forward to seeing how many freebies they can get at the end of 2024.
Last week, gamers learned that the Epic Games Store will begin releasing Mystery Games on December 12th at 11:00 AM EST. Usually, the PC game store reveals its next free game a full week in advance, but this promotion is different, as gamers will receive a free new game every day during the event, but will only know the name of the game once they can get it. However, Epic Games has not officially confirmed how long the traditional promotion will last in 2024.

Epic Games Store: A comprehensive list of all free games that have been released to date
Here is a list of all the games that have ever been available for free on the Epic Games Store.
Now, a well-known leaker named billbil-kun has revealed (via Dealabs) that the Epic Games Store will be offering 16 Mystery Games starting December 12th. The first game will be available for the week until December 19th, with one free game or DLC available daily until January 2nd. Then a final free mystery game will be introduced, which will remain free for a week, until January 9th. At this point, it's not yet known if the classic 33% off coupon that accompanies this promotion will return, so gamers should keep an eye out for that as well. Unfortunately, the Epic Games Store has not confirmed the information provided by this leak, so it's always best to take it with a grain of salt. In any case, bilbil-kun is a respected insider who has correctly reported leaks from the Epic Games Store in the past, so the information is probably reliable.
