Epic Games Christmas leak confirmed! 15 free games & Epic coupon are returning in 2022!

It's official! EGS will repeat the popular Christmas giveaway in 2022! What games are we getting?

The Winter holiday season is a time for feasts, family gatherings, and gift-giving. Epic is especially known for practicing the last tradition.

Epic Games Christmas event 2022 confirmed 

Not long ago, we wrote about the rumors regarding the upcoming Epic Christmas event. We didn't have to wait for the official confirmation from Epic. The documentation site for developers has revealed the official holiday campaign plan. It confirms the upcoming Holiday sale, 15 free games, and the return of the Epic coupon!

This year's Epic Games Store Christmas sale will launch on 15th December and will last for 3 weeks. Here is the official schedule:

We also learned about the upcoming The Game Awards Sale running from December 8 to December 10, 2022. However, that one will be just a regular sale without special coupons or freebies.

Epic Games Christmas Advent giveaway 2022 schedule

The official Christmas giveaway timeline says that the event will take place between December 15, 2022, and January 5, 2023. If EGS follows the same template as last year, then we can expect the Free Games schedule to run as follows:

  • Dec 15th - Dec 16th: free game #1
  • Dec 16th - Dec 17th: free game #2
  • Dec 17th - Dec 18th: free game #3
  • Dec 18th - Dec 19th: free game #4
  • Dec 19th - Dec 20th: free game #5
  • Dec 20th - Dec 21st: free game #6
  • Dec 21st - Dec 22nd: free game #7
  • Dec 22nd - Dec 23rd: free game #8
  • Dec 23rd - Dec 24th: free game #9
  • Dec 24th - Dec 25th: free game #10
  • Dec 25th - Dec 26th: free game #11
  • Dec 26th - Dec 27th: free game #12
  • Dec 27th - Dec 28th: free game #13
  • Dec 28th - Dec 29th: free game #14
  • Dec 29th - Jan 5th: free game #15

Since there are 15 confirmed giveaways and the campaign will run for 21 days, it is expected that the final giveaway will last for 1 week.

What Epic Free Games can we expect this Christmas?

There are no leaks that would indicate the specific games yet. However, based on the last year's giveaway, we can expect the event to be a total blast!

The 2021 Christmas free games line-up included many popular titles, such as Shenmue 3Loop HeroVampyrControlPrey, and the new The Tomb Raider trilogy! Should Epic Games maintain the quality of their giveaways, we're in for a real treat!

You can find all past Epic freebies on GG.deals.

Epic games coupon will be back in 2022!

The return of the Epic coupon has been anticipated by many gamers. After all, the coupon hasn't been part of any Epic Games Store sales for the past 6 months!

The coupon will offer a flat 25% off any games on the Epic Games Holiday Sale. On the one hand, it's good news for those hunting for the more expensive AAA titles, as the 25% price cut will save you quite a lot of money. On the other hand, some gamers might be disappointed that the coupon mechanics is not the same as last year. Applying a 10 USD / 10 EUR / 10 GBP discount on games valued at 14.99 USD / 14.99 EUR / 13.99 GBP has historically resulted in many spectacular deals.

However, let's not haste to any conclusions just yet. The quality of the sale can only be judged once we know the actual discounts combined with the new Epic coupon.

Browse Epic Games Christmas sale 2022 on GG.deals!

Remember that you can find all Epic freebies the moment they appear here on GG.deals! We will also cover the annual sale, and all prices will be inclusive of the Epic coupon, making it much easier to browse the sale's final prices! Visit GG.deals on the 15th of December, and don't forget to let your friends know what our website has to offer!

I mean, GTA V was the testbed for this sort of thing, and that wasn't even a holiday event.

Agree that the previous $10 coupon, even with minimum price requirements, made out for some really sweet deals. 25% coupon could be so mega on an undiscounted new game though!

Some of those 15 days will probably be repeat freebies (nothing wrong with it, sometimes people miss out because life is hard), but looking forward to a nice AAA-quality surprise on the 24th or 25th.

This is awesome I have around 200 games on epic all free stuff, I love it.   They already gave away the tomb raider games before from what I remember so I hope they give out new stuff mostly this time.
