Summary
A change made to theEpic Games Storefree mystery game promotion is garnering a mixed response from the community. Every year, theEpic Games Storecelebrates the holidays with a special countdown where it gives away a selection of free mystery games. The typical Epic Games Store free game offerings let fans know what to expect from one week to the next, but the mystery game promotions keep them on their toes.
In previous years,the Epic Games Store free mystery game promotionoften teased fans with what they could expect from the next game through its wrapping paper art. The wrapping paper would feature symbols relating to the free game, giving fans the chance to guess the identity of the next freebie. This practice seems to have been done away with this year, as the EGS free mystery game wrapping paper art has so far all been the same gray with generic PC gaming and holiday symbols on it.
This change hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Epic Games Store community, which seems to be split on the matter. There are someEpic Games Store userswho are not happy about this change, as they had fun guessing the next free mystery games. Others seem to think that this is a positive change, as it gives them the chance to be genuinely surprised by each free game from one day to the next.
This isn’t the only way that the Epic Games Store free mystery game promotion has changed compared to previous years. Previous versions of the Epic Games Store free mystery game promotion have seen all the free games leaked online well in advance. While there have been some leaks so far, the leaks haven’t been nearly as far-reaching as before. Not only that, but most of theEpic Games Store leaksthat have happened have been mere hours from the actual giveaway as opposed to days or weeks in advance.
