The ongoing Epic Games Store free mystery games promotion is anticipated to extend into the new year, with hints suggesting it might continue until January 2024. Given that the promotion aims to draw users to the Epic Games Store launcher daily during the Holiday Sale, which concludes on January 10, there is a likelihood (Though unconfirmed) that the free mystery game offerings will persist until that date.
This aligns conveniently as January 10 falls on a Wednesday. If the pattern holds, the EGS free mystery game for that day would be succeeded on Thursday, January 11, potentially resuming the usual weekly schedule of pre-announced free games on the Epic Games Store. Users are encouraged to stay tuned to discover the outcome of this year’s free mystery game promotion.
