It's the season of giving right now and thankfully that applies to gamers too, as a major new leak has revealed 15 massive games that you can claim before the end of the year as part of the Epic Games Store's Christmas giveaways.
While PlayStation and Xbox owners might get lots of 'free' games every month by subscribing to services like PlayStation Plus and Game Pass, there is still plenty that PC fans can take advantage of to save money all year round.
Not only to do you have the Steam sales – which need no introduction thanks to their legendary discounts – but there has been an increase in the number of games that are made completely free for a short period of time across various storefronts.
These sometimes crop up on Steam, but by far the best place for this is the Epic Games Store, and many people have been able to build up an exceptional library of games over the years without spending a single penny.

There's usually at least one game available to pick up for free every single week, but during the Christmas period Epic run a special promotion where a new title is given away every single day — although you only have that 24-hour period to claim each one so make sure you're at your PC.
Usually part of the fun is checking every day to see what's available, but leakers have seemingly revealed the entire Christmas giveaway line up in a leak that could allow you to plan when to log in.
Of course, with it being a leak there's no way of knowing for sure whether everything will be correct, but as revealed by TheGameVerse on X, here are all 15 free games you'll be able to claim on the Epic Games Store this holiday season:
- Hogwarts Legacy (December 11)
- Jurassic World: Evolution (December 18)
- Desperados 3 (December 19)
- Total War: Warhammer (December 20)
- Tropico 5 (December 21)
- Chicken Police - Paint It RED! (December 22)
- Loop Hero (December 23)
- LEGO Batman (December 24)
- Commander Keane (December 25)
- Farming Simulator 2022 (December 26)
- Slime Rancher 2 (December 27)
- Terraria (December 28)
- Detroit: Become Human (December 29)
- Mortal Kombat 11 (December 30)
- Red Dead Redemption 2 (December 31)
Some are definitely bigger than others here and while you should never pass up the opportunity to grab a free game, you might be alright skipping a day or two depending on your interests.
There are undoubtedly some heavy hitters here which could get your hundreds of hours of gameplay, with something for just about everyone available to pick up across the holiday period.
Everyone would agree that Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption 2 is by far the standout pick though, as not only are you getting one of the best games ever made, but the perfect thing to play if you're still nursing the pain of the last GTA 6 delay.
This is especially the case when the console version is still yet to receive a performance update despite rumors suggesting one is one the way, as playing on PC will not only unlock far higher frame rates but enhance the already stunning graphics and even give you access to some rather wild mods.
