Epic Games Store is gearing up for its annual holiday giveaway of free games, a tradition that typically offers more compelling titles than its weekly free offerings throughout the year. The promotion is a key strategy for attracting and retaining users on the platform, competing with Steam and other digital distribution services.

- Jurassic World: Evolution 2 – December 18
- Desperados 3 – December 19
- Total War: Warhammer – December 20
