dates, information and everything we expect from the games they are going to give away

As is customary on these dates, Epic Games is going to make its traditional advent calendar giving away games in your digital store. We are not going to know the games they are going to give away each day until the time comes to reveal them, nor the dates or the number of games, but we can get an idea taking into account what they did in previous years.

Therefore, what we are going to do is tell you the first games already announced, and then we are going to take a look at what they have done in previous years to tell you what we expect this Christmas. These assumptions are the logical ones if nothing radically changes, but keep in mind that we won’t know until the time comes either.

What are these Christmas offers?

The Epic Games Store is one of the largest digital video game stores along with Steam. And every year around this time they usually make a kind of advent calendar, in which every day they give away a new game. To be precise, first they give away a bomb of game for a week, and then they start with the daily drip.

Sometimes they can be important games, the so-called AAA, and other days they will be more independent or lesser-known games. But in any case, they will once again get us to enter their store every day to see the Christmas sales, and while you buy a free game, you may pay for another discounted one.

Dates of the games that Epic Games gives away

For now, Epic Games has only revealed the first of the games that he is going to give awaywhich will be available for a week. But the important thing is that it also sets a date for when to give the next one.

This is important because, if they repeat the tactics of other yearsthe normal thing is that from that next game they start giving away one a day. Last year the daily games were extended until January 2, and then they put on another one for a whole week.

These are the dates we know:

• December 12 at 2:00 (Spanish peninsular time) – Hogwarts Legacy
• December 18 at 5:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time) – New game

From here on, the normal thing is that every day of the week give away a new game starting at 5:00 p.m. Spanish peninsular time. If Epic Games later specifies and confirms the gift schedule, we will update this article to tell you.
