| Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is one of the limited-time free games available during the Epic Games Store Holiday Sale. |
Epic Games Store free game as part of its Holiday Sale. The first free title is already live, with another mystery game set to unlock soon. This week’s free game is only available for one day, so it is worth claiming it before the timer runs out if it looks like something you want to keep.
Right now, one game is free to claim, and another is waiting behind the timer. Even if you are not sure either one is your style yet, this is still an easy library win.
This Week’s Free Epic Games Store Game
The first free game available is Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel, an action-heavy game built around intense combat and myth-inspired enemies. It leans into fast encounters, large-scale fights, and a darker fantasy tone that fits well with shorter, repeatable play sessions.
Combat is the main draw here. You are constantly pushed into battles that reward aggression, movement, and awareness rather than slow pacing. It feels designed for jumping in, clearing a few encounters, and then deciding whether to keep going or step away. That makes it a good fit if you want something direct and combat-focused without a long setup.
Even if it is not something you would normally buy outright, grabbing it for free makes sense. Games like this often surprise you once you spend a bit of time with them.

How Long You Have to Claim It
You can claim Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel for free on the Epic Games Store until December 19 at 11:00 AM.
Once it is added to your library, it is yours to keep. You do not need to install it right away, so there is no downside to claiming it now and deciding later if it earns more of your time. This free offer is part of Epic’s limited Holiday Sale giveaways and will rotate quickly.
More Free Games Arriving During the Holiday Sale
Epic is not stopping with just one free game this week. As part of its ongoing Holiday Sale, the store has already confirmed that another free game will unlock tomorrow, Friday December 19. For now, it is listed as a Mystery Game, with the title revealed once the countdown timer runs out.
This kind of rolling drop is typical for Epic during December, where free games rotate more frequently than the usual weekly schedule. Because of that, this article will be updated once the next game becomes available. If you are checking in daily during the sale, it is worth keeping an eye on the free games section so you do not miss a short claim window.
Alongside the free titles, the Epic Games Store Holiday Sale continues to offer discounts across a wide range of PC games. Many titles are marked down significantly, and eligible purchases earn Epic Rewards, which can be used on future buys. It makes for a solid pairing if you are already logging in to claim the free games.
The Holiday Sale runs until January 8, 2026, so there is time to browse and decide what, if anything, you want to pick up. Just remember that the free games themselves rotate on their own timers, so claiming those sooner rather than later is always the safer move.
Worth Checking Back
Weeks like this are a good reminder to keep an eye on Epic’s free game lineup during December. With one confirmed game already live and another unlocking soon, this drop is easy to recommend if you are building out your PC library.
Did you already grab Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel, or are you waiting to see what the mystery game turns out to be?
