Epic Games Store is planning a daily lineup of free games in mid-December, according to reports cited by the VGC portal and an insider reference to billbil-kun. The timing aligns with the Christmas season, with the promotion expected to run from December 15, 2022, to January 10, 2023. Players could claim up to 27 games by visiting the store every day during the event.
Epic has a history of holiday giveaways, including past years where the store offered a handful of free titles. In 2019, players could download 12 games for free, while 2020 and 2021 deliveries included 15 games each year. Specific titles for the promotion have not been publicly announced in advance for those years, adding an element of anticipation for fans.
As part of the promotion, Star Wars: Squadrons was made available to Epic Games Store users until December 1. The game was not offered in the Russian store, but players could access it by adjusting the region in their account settings.
There have been reports from outlets such as socialbites.ca suggesting wage disparities between Epic Games employees and those at other studios, including Rockstar Games. This remark highlights broader industry conversations about compensation practices within major game studios. — Source: VGC
