The Epic Games Store currently offers two acclaimed titles as free games, and it appears these will be the only regular free games available in December 2025. Additionally, the store has confirmed that it will begin offering free holiday mystery games next week.
The mystery free games event for Christmas 2025 starts on December 11th, the day of the Game Awards. Interestingly, the Epic Games Store suggests that the first game in this promotion could be an award-winning title. The teaser cover for the first mystery free game shows the Game Awards logo. If this theory is correct, it could be a title that won an award in one of the previous years. But it is also conceivable that the free game will be one of this year’s nominees.
Some also speculate that the first free game of this Christmas special event will be a title from the Hitman series will be. While there is no specific reason for this assumption, it is worth noting that Hitman It was nominated in the “Best Action/Adventure Game” category at the 2016 Game Awards. It is also worth mentioning that the first mystery free game of 2024 The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria was – an indie title. So it would be quite a surprise if a AAA game were to kick off this year’s Christmas giveaway event.
My journey as a technology enthusiast began when I assembled my first PC. Since then, my insatiable curiosity has driven me to delve into every aspect of this rapidly evolving technological landscape. As a technology reporter, I valued transparency, accuracy and impartiality.
Future scenarios and fictional worlds fascinate me, which is why I like to deal with topics such as AI, AR and gaming and write about them on Notebookcheck. In order to devote myself more deeply to these areas, I studied design, digital media and art after my journeyman time as a gold and silversmith. In my free time I also play music and spend a lot of time in nature with my dogs.
