Leaker reveals disappointing Epic Games Store giveaway plans going forward in December 2025

The Epic Games Store is still around 6 hours away from announcing its next free game giveaway on at least PC and perhaps on macOS too. Currently, the storefront has only hinted that its first Mystery Game of the festive season relates to The Game Awards. Nonetheless, Redditor u/MeguminShiro has revealed the storefront's future plans ahead of schedule.

Unsurprisingly, Epic will be continuing with its Mystery Game promotion tactic. By all accounts, the storefront will continue in this fashion until it ends its latest Holiday Sale on January 8, 2026. Next week's Mystery Game giveaway will unlock on December 18 at 16:00 UTC, with no delayed launch like this week. Unfortunately, the storefront has not included any teasers in its Mystery Game image.

Consequently, it will be impossible this time around to infer what the next giveaway will be from the teaser alone. There is every chance that Epic posts hints on social media eventually, though. In the meantime, Epic Games is already giving away a critically acclaimed title on Android and iOS. At this stage, it seems unlikely that the storefront will replicate this deal on other platforms, though. Please see our accompanying article for more details.
