Every Free Game in the Epic Games Store’s 2024 Daily Holiday Giveaway

It’s that time of year when a magical benefactor bestows gifts on us all. I’m talking, of course, about the Epic holiday giveaway. Every day, you can claim a free game from the Epic Games Store, and we’ll be keeping you up to date on each day’s game.

Today’s Free Game in the Epic Games Store

Like the Epic Games Store’s weekly free games, once you claim these games, they’re yours to keep. How awesome is that? The catch is that the Epic Games Store’s daily free games are only available for a day. They drop at 11am ET / 8 am PT / 4pm GMT and if you don’t claim them by that time the next day, they’re gone.

At least, that was the case with the daily giveaways. Now that the final game, Hell Let Loose, has dropped, it’ll be available right up until January 9th. Epic appears to count both Hell Let Loose and Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria as part of the giveaway, making for 16 games in total.

Hell Let Loose – January 2 to January 9

Developer / Publisher: Team 17

War? What is good for? In the case of the online-only Hell Let Loose, it’s the perfect setup for a 50v50 squad-based game, with players vying for supremacy across a range of war-pocked locations. Picking one of several roles, Officer, Spotter, Medic, Tank Commander and more, you’ll team up with your fellow allies in an authentic WWII-era online FPS.

However, as Andrei Pechalin remarked, don’t expect to feel like a complete badass. In ‘New Narrative’, Andrei, he explained that by “…focusing on large-scale encounters, heavy controls, slow action, and near one-shot kills, Hell Let Loose tries to recognize the vulnerability and dispensability of the individual in a conflict that claimed 85,000,000 lives.”

So if you’re used to Call of Duty-style conflict where it’s one small squad against another, be prepared to feel pretty insignificant. But if that sounds like your jam, you’ve got a week to claim Hell Let Loose.

How to Claim the Epic Games Store’s Free Daily Games

As with the weekly Epic Games Store giveways, claiming one of these freebies is a pretty simple process. Here’s what to do.

1. First, create an Epic Games Store account if you’ve not already got one. You can do that on the Epic Games Store website or by downloading the Epic Games Store launcher from the site.
2. Now go to the web store or launcher and go down to Free Games.
3. Click on the game you want, and you should see a big blue button that says Get. If it says Buy Now, you’re on the wrong page or too late for the giveaway.
4. Click on Get, go through with the checkout (you won’t be charged), and the game is yours to keep. The one exception so far is Dark and Darker’s Legendary Status, which requires you to get the base game (which is free anyway) first.

So, keep checking in, and I’ll keep you up to date on the Epic Games Store’s daily free games.
