While details regarding this year’s Christmas giveaway remain unknown, it is suggested that the list of free games will include titles that have never been made available for free earlier. To recall, last year’s Christmas sale involved titles that were free prior to the sale. Hence, this year’s sale could prove interesting.
Apart from offering 15 free games to users, Epic Games is also giving discounts on various popular games. There are discounts of up to 95% on games such as FarCry 6, Battlefield 2042, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Outriders, Jurassic World Evolution 2, Hot Wheels, and more. Additionally, every game that costs over $14.99 will get users a discount coupon worth $10. So, if you have purchased 5 games costing over $14.99, you will be able to get a discount of $50 while checking out.
