A new leak has revealed that Epic Games Store's Holiday Sale 2024 will likely feature 16 free mystery games, starting December 12. Titles will unlock daily for 24 hours, with the first and last games free for a week.

A brand-new leak has given us details about Epic Games Store's upcoming Holiday Sale 2024, suggesting that the platform will offer 16 free mystery games over the course of the event. If the leak proves accurate, the sale will run until January 9, 2025. We already had previous info about the first day of the giveaway - December 12, but this new leak further adds to our knowledge regarding the end-of-year event.    

The information, which comes from a reliable source, (@billbil-kun), indicates that the event will follow Epic's usual end-of-year tradition: daily free games and massive store-wide discounts. As per the leak, each mystery game will be available for 24 hours, except for the first and final titles, which will reportedly be free for an entire week. These first and final titles could be big, popular ones, especially if their availability extends through a whole week. 

Here’s the full-leaked schedule of free mystery games:

  • December 12 – December 19: Mystery game 1 (1 week)
  • December 19 – December 20: Mystery game 2 (24 hours)
  • December 20 – December 21: Mystery game 3 (24 hours)
  • December 21 – December 22: Mystery game 4 (24 hours)... (continues daily through the event)
  • January 2 – January 9: Mystery game 16 (1 week)

While this remains a leak, Epic Games’ previous year-end events have followed a similar pattern. In 2023, Epic gave away titles like the Destiny 2 Legacy Collection, while the 2022 giveaway included acclaimed games like Dishonored - Definitive Edition and Wolfenstein: The New Order.

If the leak holds true, gamers can expect a mix of indie hits and AAA titles as part of the giveaway. While there’s no confirmation yet, the consistency of previous events lends a lot of credibility to the schedule. Expect an official announcement from Epic Games very soon.
