Epic Games Store is keeping its holiday giveaway streak alive, and right now players can grab a well-known RPG for free—one that lines up neatly with the latest teaser image. But the real buzz is building around what’s coming next.
On Christmas Eve, Epic will unlock the eighth mystery free game of the event. Unlike some earlier days where the hint felt a little easier to decode, this time the clue isn’t giving fans an obvious direction, which has only made the guessing even louder across the community.
Looking back at previous holiday events, the eighth “freebie slot” has included a mix of repeat giveaways and highly rated smaller releases. That pattern matters, because it suggests two strong possibilities for the December 24, 2025 reveal: Epic could bring back a fan-favorite title it has already given away before, or it could spotlight another acclaimed indie game that fits the “big reputation, easy-to-love” holiday vibe.
With that in mind, fans have been throwing out a wide range of predictions. One name that keeps popping up is Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, though there’s a catch—since it’s currently discounted, some players think that reduces the likelihood of it becoming the next free game.
Other guesses feel more in line with what Epic often does during major giveaways. Subnautica: Below Zero is one of the most popular predictions, largely because it isn’t currently on sale in the store and has the kind of mainstream recognition that makes a holiday freebie feel exciting. Beyond that, several other frequently mentioned candidates include Cult of the Lamb, Terraria, Hollow Knight, Katana Zero, Skul: The Hero Slayer, and Spyro.
The official reveal for the eighth free game arrives on December 24, 2025 at 16:00 UTC. Until then, the current mystery game remains available to claim, so if you’re following the event daily, it’s worth grabbing it before the timer runs out.
