The giveaway on Epic Game Store will start on December 19 and each of the free games will be free to keep forever, Epic announced at The Game Awards.
The Epic Games Store is ramping up the free games for the holidays, giving away 12 of them between now and the new year. Epic hasn’t revealed any of the 12 freebies, but judging by the quality of the games handed out throughout 2019, we expect them to be good.
The giveaway will start on December 19 and each of the free games will be free to keep forever, Epic announced at The Game Awards. People will be able to claim one free game each day until January 1, 2020. All they need to do is open up the launcher, log in, and claim that day’s game from the store. It then becomes a permanent part of their library.
