Epic Games Store Best Holiday Promotion Returning This Year: Leaker

Epic Game Store, the digital storefront that offers a wide range of video games, would reportedly bring back one of its fan-favorite and best deals this Holiday season that would allow users to get the chance to claim one free game every day, according to the latest leak.

The Epic Games Store offers free video games each week, but the one deal that many gamers await is the free games it gives away every holiday. During this promo period, which typically runs for a month, the digital storefront offers a free game daily instead of weekly.

Industry insider and Dealabs user who goes by the name billbil-kun said the Epic Games Store will bring back this promo starting December 15, 2022, until January 10, 2023. The insider responded to a user who asked about the "advent calendar," a name other gamers prefer to call the promo.

The thread is not actually about the holiday promo but about the Epic Games Store giving away "Star Wars: Squadrons" for free. The insider earned his reputation in the industry by giving advanced and accurate information about PlayStation Plus, Xbox Game Pass and Epic Games Store promotions.

While the insider has an impressive record of leaking accurate information in the past, in the absence of an official announcement from the Epic Games Store, gamers should temper their expectations and take this latest leak as highly speculative at this stage.

The Epic Games Store has given away hundreds of free video games since it launched in December 2018. The digital storefront offered 89 free games in 2021 and 103 free titles in 2020.

In 2019, the Epic Games Store gave away 12 video games over the holiday season and gave away 15 free video games in 2020 and 2021 during the same season. Users have claimed more than 765 million games last year, according to Epic.

Right now, the Epic Games Store offers at least one free game every week. EA fans and gamers can claim the free game "Star Wars: Squadrons" for free until December 1.

It is worth noting that while the Epic Games Store holiday promo gives free games daily, they are only free for a short time and are not announced until the day that they will be free. So, it requires gamers to be quick to grab them, unless, of course, they have advanced information from leaks of what the free game for the day would be.
