ORIGINAL STORY:

At the grand stage of the Game Awards 2025, Epic Games announced 2023’s mega hit Harry Potter RPG Hogwarts Legacy, completely free on the Epic Games Store for PC as part of holiday celebrations. But it looks like just the tip of the iceberg, as recent leaks suggest that Red Dead Redemption 2 could also be joining the giveaway lineup.

Epic Games’ annual Holiday Season Sale has become a tradition for PC gamers, offering free titles throughout December. This year, rumors point to a batch of 15 free games between December 11 and 31, with a combined value of nearly $300 at current prices—and closer to $500 if MSRP is considered.

The first confirmed freebie, Hogwarts Legacy, went live on December 11, surprising fans who didn’t expect such a high‑profile release to be included. Epic is now teasing a "mystery game" unlock on December 18 at 16:00 UTC, lining up perfectly with the leak.

Leaked Lineup of Free Games

According to leaks from the Chinese social media channel HXL, the rumored list features:

• Hogwarts Legacy – Dec 11

• Jurassic World: Evolution 2 – Dec 18

• Desperados 3 – Dec 19

• Total War: Warhammer – Dec 20

• Tropico 5 – Dec 21

• Chicken Police – Paint it Red! – Dec 22

• Loop Hero – Dec 23

• Lego Batman – Dec 24

• Commander Keen – Dec 25

• Farming Simulator 2022 – Dec 26

• Slime Rancher 2 – Dec 27

• Terraria – Dec 28

• Detroit: Become Human – Dec 29

• Mortal Kombat 11 – Dec 30

• Red Dead Redemption 2 – Dec 31

The biggest highlight is Red Dead Redemption 2, rumored to go free on December 31. Alongside Detroit: Become Human, these titles would be massive giveaways. However, skepticism remains—especially since Mortal Kombat 11 isn’t currently available on the Epic Games Store, raising doubts about the full list’s authenticity.

Still, history shows Epic isn’t afraid of bold moves. Past giveaways have included Grand Theft Auto V, which shocked the community at the time. With Hogwarts Legacy already confirmed, fans are cautiously optimistic that at least part of the leak will prove true.
