The Epic Games store is reportedly giving away 15 free games starting mid-December, which is in the coming week. And it’s expected to offer a free title each day until the end of this year. The big news comes from Dealabs user Billbill-Kun, who previously leaked the PS Plus lineup for September, October, November, and December. According to his claim, the promotion will begin next week with a free copy of Shenmue 3 on December 16.
Moreover, the Epic Games Store is also likely to run an end-of-year sale until January 6, 2022. Talking about the giveaway, the first 14 games will be available free to claim for just a single day. On the other hand, the 15th title will be available for one full week. As far as Epic Games’ Christmas promotions go, this one will also follow a similar format like the last few years. In 2020, the Store gave away 15 free games while it gifted 12 in 2019.

According to a recently revealed document, Epic Games spent almost $12 million to secure multiple titles for its free giveaways. It happened during the nine-month period between 2018 and 2019. Furthermore, the publisher gave away 38 games in this nine-month duration which, quite obviously, involved paying their developers a different ‘buyout price’.
To put this in perspective, video games like World of Goo, Super Meat Boy, and RIME cost about $50,000 or less. While other titles, such as Subnautica, Mutant Year Zero, and the Batman Arkham collection all cost more than $1 million to secure. It shows how much money Epic Games spent in the last few years, just to have these games for a later purpose of doing a giveaway.
