Epic Games Store is about to reveal its sixth mystery free game for the Holiday 2025 giveaway, and if previous years are any indication, this one could be a standout.
Right now, the store is still offering the fifth mystery free title: Sorry, We’re Closed. That free download window ends at 16:00 UTC on December 22, 2025. As soon as it expires, the next mystery game will take its place—and like the other holiday giveaways, it will only be available for 24 hours. If you want to build your library without spending anything, timing matters during these daily drops.
What’s interesting is the pattern surrounding the sixth mystery game in particular. Over the past several years, Epic’s sixth holiday freebie has often landed in the “bigger than indie” category—typically a well-known AA or AAA release rather than a smaller, niche pick. There’s also been a noticeable trend toward first-person games showing up in that sixth slot, and the store hasn’t repeated the same sixth-game selection across recent years. That combination—higher-profile titles, a consistent genre lean, and no repeats—has helped make the sixth reveal one of the more anticipated days of the entire giveaway run.
Of course, nothing is official until the countdown ends, and Epic hasn’t posted a direct hint for what’s coming next. Still, the track record sets expectations: the sixth mystery game hasn’t usually been “filler.” It’s typically been something many players would genuinely want to claim, even if they don’t plan to play it immediately.
Bottom line: if you’ve been waiting for one of the holiday giveaway’s more exciting reveals, the sixth mystery free game is shaping up to be a good bet—so make sure you grab Sorry, We’re Closed before it’s gone, and check back right after the reset for the next 24-hour free game drop.
