Thursday December 12th will be an exciting day for you Epic Games Store Users, because on this day the annual mystery game promotion celebrates its long-awaited comeback. Every December, the Epic Games Store hosts a special mystery game promotion counting down to the new year. Normally this promotion starts in mid-December and ends in early January.

There have been some discrepancies in the free mystery game promotion on the Epic Games Store in the past. Broadly speaking, they consisted of daily giveaways, but last year the first free mystery game was available for a week, and subsequent games were given away daily. The free mystery games on the Epic Games Store tend to contain a few more high-profile titles than the usual EGS games. Therefore, whether the giveaways are weekly or daily, PC gamers should have plenty of exciting free games to add to their digital libraries this month.

In the meantime, they are free to claim the current free games on the Epic Games Store Bus Simulator 21: Next Stop And LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
