UPDATE 12/7: Epic Games has now confirmed that the free games for December 7 will only be available until Wednesday, December 13 instead of Thursday, December 14 as usual.
This post has been updated to reflect the new dates.
TheEpic Games Storehas confirmedGigaBashandPredecessoras the two free games that users can grab for their digital libraries beginning December 7. New games are available forEpic Games Storeusers on a weekly basis. EGS users can count on the new free games becoming available every Thursday at 10am CT, with some exceptions to the rule.
For example, there are times when the Epic Games Store trades its weekly free game giveaways with daily free games. TheEpic Games Store daily free game giveawayshave traditionally been part of its mystery game promotions, which tend to coincide with big sales. The biggest Epic Games Store mystery game promotion tends to take place in December every year, but the storefront has been known to host a similar promotion in the spring as well.
It remains to be seen if the Epic Games Store free mystery game promotion is coming back for December 2023 or not, but EGS users have some new weekly free games to claim in the meantime. Right now, theEpic Games Store free gamesareJitsu SquadandMighty Fight Federation, both of which will be available until December 7 at 10:00am CT. At that point,Jitsu SquadandMighty Fight Federationwill be cycled out of the Epic Games Store free games availability list and replaced byGigaBashandPredecessor.
Epic Games Store Free Games for December 2023
GigaBashis an arena brawler game about kaijus that has drawn comparisons to bothSuper Smash Bros.andWar of the Monsters.GigaBashearned mixed reviews at the time of its original release, but kaiju fans may still want to give it a go, especially while they have the chance to claim it for free through the Epic Games Store. Those willing to spend a little extra to get theGigaBashDLC can snag character packs featuring Ultraman charactersas well as Godzilla, Gigan, Mechagodzilla, and Destoroyah.
Predecessor, meanwhile, is an early access game that combines the MOBA and FPS genres.Predecessorhas earned mostly mixed reviews, but it couldn’t hurt for anyone in the market for a newhero shooter gameto give it a look.
Typically,GigaBashandPredecessorjoining the Epic Games Store free games lineup would mean fans would get a sneak peek at the titles replacing them the following week. However, if theEpic Games Store mystery game promotioncomes back as expected, then it’s more likely that fans will be kept in the dark about the free games replacingGigaBashandPredecessor. That’s just speculation at this time though, and for now, Epic Games Store users can grabJitsu SquadandMighty Fight Federationfor their libraries while looking forward toGigaBashandPredecessorjoining the lineup next week.
