The 2025 Steam Winter Sale and
The Epic Games Store Christmas giveaway
Steam Winter Sale will run from December 18, 2025, to January 5, 2026
The Epic Games Store Christmas giveaway typically begins in the second or third week of December and runs through early January. The 2025 event has already started, while dates for 2026 are not yet announced.
Epic Christmas Giveaway Dates
2025-2026 Event: The holiday giveaway for this period started in December 2025. While exact end dates for January 2026 haven't been confirmed, the pattern suggests it will run through the first week of January 2026.
2024-2025 Event: The previous event ran from December 12, 2024, through January 9, 2025.
How It Works
During the Christmas event, Epic Games changes its usual weekly free game schedule to a daily giveaway of different mystery games. Each game is available to claim for a limited time, usually just 24 hours, after which a new one becomes available. Once claimed, the game remains in your Epic Games account permanently.
Game of the month
BattleBit Operation Overhaul
BattleBit Remastered is a low-poly, large-scale FPS that supports up to 254 players in destructible environments. Inspired by Battlefield, it emphasizes teamwork, squad play, and combined-arms combat with vehicles, gadgets, and classes.
Its minimalist visuals ensure smooth performance while delivering chaotic, tactical gameplay.
In late 2025, the game received its biggest update yet: Operation Overhaul. This overhaul refined combat pacing, revamped graphics and UI, introduced new sounds, and improved overall quality of life. The playtest drew huge crowds, proving the game’s enduring appeal, though technical hiccups and the long development silence tempered enthusiasm.
Despite challenges, BattleBit Remastered remains a unique indie alternative to mainstream shooters, now reinvigorated by its ambitious update.
