SomeEpic Games Store usersmay have been spoiled by the launcher giving away two free games at a time. For a decent stretch, two free Epic Games Store games each week was the norm, but lately things have been dialed back so it’s just one free game every week. One can’t complain about getting free games, especially since these titles are available even without a subscription of any kind, but it will be interesting to see if things ever go back to two free games or if this is the new norm.
Later this year, it’s likely that Epic Games Store users will have a lot more free games to look forward to, assuming the holiday countdown comes back. Last year, Epic Games Store hosted a special holiday countdown event where each day brought with it a brand new free game for fans to claim for their collection. TheseEpic Games Store mystery gameswere set up like an advent calendar and the whole thing proved popular enough, so hopefully it makes a comeback.
