Epic Games Store opens December 2025 PC free games lineup with two acclaimed hits

The final PC free game on Epic Games Store for November 2025 is now available to claim. This giveaway will also extend to the first few days of next month, and after that, two more free games will be available on the platform.

Among the two, one is The Darkside Detective, a multi-award-winning game from 2017. Some of the notable awards include the 2017 Game of the Year award from the IMIRT Game Awards, the 2018 Best Indie Game award from Coaching for Geeks, and the 2017 Best Narrative award from the Galway Games Gathering.

Beyond the awards, this upcoming Epic Games Store free game is praised for its comedic point-and-click gameplay. Players get to control a detective and investigate supernatural cases. It sports pixel art visuals and is relatively easy to run on most relatively well-configured hardware (32/512 GB GMKtec K12 mini PC curr. $499.99 on Amazon).

While all sounds great, The Darkside Detective is criticized for being a bit too short. There isn't much depth in the cases, and some of the puzzles can be easily predictable. It generally costs $14.99 when not on sale and currently sports a 94% positive player rating on Steam.

Moving to the second upcoming free game, it's The Jackbox Party Pack 4, which itself contains multiple games. Released in 2017, it features a total of five multiplayer party games, with one allowing up to 16 players to play together, known as Bracketeering.

Fabbage 3 is another highlight from this collection of party games. It's essentially a fun-filled trivia game with video questions. The Jackbox Party Pack 4 has full support for controllers, and besides the local split-screen multiplayer mode, players can also join remotely.

The Jackbox Party Pack 4 typically costs $24.99, and it currently boasts an "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating on Steam, with over 1,900 player reviews. You can learn more about the upcoming Epic Games Store free games from the videos attached below.
