Epic Is Giving Away 12 Free PC Games During Its Holiday Sale

The Epic Games Store free games program is one of the coolest perks for PC gamers. Since the store’s launch last December, Epic has consistently given away good games, completely free of charge. It started as a bi-weekly program, but Epic ramped it up to weekly giveaways earlier this year. It’s been an awesome ride, but Epic has even bigger plans in store for the holidays.

Starting December 19, Epic will give away one free game per day for 12 days. The promotion coincides with Epic’s holiday sale and runs until January 1. December 19 to January 1 actually spans 14 days. If we had to guess, Christmas and New Year’s Eve will be the “off days” for the giveaway.

Epic hasn’t revealed any of the 12 freebies, but judging by the quality of the games handed out throughout 2019, we expect them to be good.

To take part in Epic’s holiday festivities, all you need to do is sign up for a free Epic account. Once you claim any free game from Epic, it’ll be in your library forever. Epic’s current free games are The Escapists and The Wolf Among Us, which we just learned is finally getting a sequel. You can download both of those games until December 19 at 11 AM ET. It’s safe to say the first free mystery game will go live at that time.

Epic announced earlier this year that the free games program would run until the end of 2019. Epic hasn’t officially confirmed the end of the program, but there’s a chance the big holiday giveaway could be the program’s last hurrah.

1. The Mandalorian sure does love hiring comedians

We’re seen quite a few comedians have predominant roles on Mandalorian, going all the way back to Episode 1, where we saw Horatio Sanz and Brian Posehn pop up. In this episode, comedian Bill Burr plays Mayfeld, a mercenary who used to be an Imperial sharpshooter.

There’s a fun moment where Mando finds out Mayfeld worked for the Empire and seems unsure about his skills, to which Mayfeld replies, “I wasn’t a Stormtrooper, wiseass.” Because, as we all know, Stormtroopers all has terrible aim…and armor…and everything else.

The 20 Best Netflix Original Movies and TV Shows

Even though Netflix is beset on all sides by competition both old (Hulu, Amazon) and new (Disney+, Apple TV+), it’s still the barely untouchable emperor of all things streaming. Thanks, in large part, to the fact that it out-spends its rivals by more than double – upwards of $15 to $18 billion a year on original content.

Given that massive sum, and the sheer volume of Originals it has (most of which arrive on the site with no advance warning or fanfare), it stands to reason there’s going to be some truly excellent content among the thousands of titles being offered up. But sometimes all the choices can be overwhelming, so let us help you with some suggestions! Here are Netflix’s best Originals – both movies and TV shows.

The Biggest Comics to Read in 2020

Capes, and cowls, and monsters, oh my!

Capes, and cowls, and monsters, oh my!

The superhero bubble is showing absolutely no signs of popping in 2020, which is great news for fans of the DCEU and MCU. With Disney+’s slate of MCU TV shows, Phase 4, and DC’s features like Wonder Woman 1984 all just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get a fresh start on some of the major comics from Marvel and DC slated to launch in the new year.

In 2019, Marvel revitalized their X-Men titles with House of X and Powers of X which paved the way for a brand new ongoing X-Men team book while DC tore through their Year Of The Villain crossover event. And both of the Big Two struck gold with character-limited series like Martian Manhunter and Spider-Man: Life Story. It’s looking like 2020 will continue the trend of zooming in to the nitty-gritty with both A-list characters and hidden gems.

We’ve compiled a list of the 10 titles we’re most excited to read (or to keep reading, as the case may be) in 2020. Which books are you looking forward to? Let us know in the comments below.
