According to a known tipster, Epic Games is about to give away 15 free games. The promotional giveaway is expected to be held along with the Epic Games Store year-end sale, which will start on December 16, 2021. The first 14 games will get given away daily from the day of sale on the Epic Games Store. Each game will be available to claim for one day only. The last game, which will be released on the fifteenth day will be available to claim for a total of seven days.

PlayStation Plus provides players with three to six free titles every month. These titles are often leaked beyond their launch. However, they keep players engaged as they get new games to play every month. The video game titles might not necessarily be the latest, but they are new to the platform in the sense that they have not been available to PlayStation players before.
