Epic Games Store is making Christmas Day 2025 a lot more rewarding than many players expected. Alongside its headline PC giveaway, the store has quietly added two extra free games for mobile users on December 25, and this time there’s no rush to claim them in a single day. Both mobile freebies will remain available for a full week, giving Android and iOS players until January 1, 2026 to grab them.
The surprise mobile giveaways are Monument Valley and Monument Valley II, two of the most widely praised puzzle games of the last decade. Developed by Ustwo, the Monument Valley series is known for its striking art direction, calm and immersive pacing, and clever perspective-based puzzles that feel more like exploring a living piece of optical illusion artwork.
Monument Valley (released in 2014) is often celebrated for its beautiful, Escher-inspired level design. Gameplay revolves around manipulating the environment—rotating structures, shifting platforms, and uncovering hidden pathways to guide your character through each stage. The puzzle design leans into perspective tricks, encouraging slow, thoughtful experimentation rather than fast reflexes. It’s a memorable experience, although players regularly note it’s on the shorter side, and its story can leave a few questions hanging once the credits roll.
Monument Valley II (released in 2017) continues the journey and builds on what made the original stand out. Many players highlight its more emotional storytelling, along with a soundtrack that reacts to the action and helps set the tone during key narrative moments. Puzzle mechanics are expanded here, and one of the biggest additions is a dual-character control concept that changes how you approach many levels. At the same time, it shares a similar drawback with the first game: it doesn’t take very long to finish, typically landing around 2–3 hours for most players. Some also feel a portion of the puzzles are a bit too easy, and that the level complexity doesn’t always match the high points of the original.
Normally, Monument Valley and Monument Valley II are priced at about $3.99 each when not discounted, so getting both free is a solid holiday bonus—especially if you enjoy relaxing, visually creative puzzle games. Both titles also support controllers and maintain strong player ratings across major mobile app marketplaces.
If you’ve been looking for a quality mobile gaming break during the holidays, this is the kind of limited-time offer worth claiming before the January 1, 2026 deadline.
