This year, the Fortnite publisher Epic Games is hosting the Christmas Sale for the fifth time. This year, you can look forward to 17 free games. The specific titles are still a secret, but a well-known leaker has a concrete hint about what two of the games might be.
What kind of sale is this? The Christmas event in the Epic Games Store has been running since December 13th. Currently, you can still secure the Destiny 2: Legacy Collection for free until December 20th at 5:00 PM, which includes all three Destiny 2 DLCs. Since the base game is free, you can start the game without any costs.
Starting from December 20th at 5:01 PM, Epic will give away a total of 17 different games until January 4, 2024. While you can also grab some free games throughout the year, which isn’t financially beneficial for Epic, you never get so many games in such a short time.

Where do the information come from? Epic Games itself is still silent about the exact games that await you. However, the well-known leaker billbil_kun has already made some initial guesses about what you can look forward to.
billbil_kun has a long history of correct leaks: Recently, for example, he was correct about the launch of the free Destiny 2: Legacy Collection. He reported on it before Epic announced it themselves. In May, he was correct with his predictions for the Mega Sale in the Epic Games Store and even corrected himself after gaining new insights.
What games does the leaker guess? billbil_kun writes via X.com that you can likely look forward to two free games in a bundle on December 23rd: Quake and Quake 2, each in their remake version. The leaker points out that these are just personal speculations, but they would be based on real facts.
billbil_kun has since also corrected this prediction on X.com: Due to the release of the Quake + Quake 2 Enhanced Bundles
on various platforms, the leaker sees his prediction weakened
. Although the bundle is also available in the Epic Games Store, the chances that a newly released bundle will be free are low.
Quake and Quake 2 are first-person shooters developed by id Software, which has belonged to Microsoft since the acquisition of Bethesda. Quake 2 was on the index until August 2019, as the USK refused a rating. Meanwhile, both games are freely available, and the first part has even been ported to the Nintendo Switch. Recently, the series was reported because Elon Musk claimed to be one of the best Quake players ever.
New products are very rarely considered in sales or even offered for free. However, it can still happen.
