GAMERS can get their paws on a bunch of free games this holiday season courtesy of Fortnite-maker Epic Games.
As part of its Epic Holiday Sale, the US firm is releasing a free game every day between now and January 1 – and the full list may have leaked online.

According to the one insider, Epic will be handing out digital copies of big-hitters like Alien: Isolation and Metro 2033 over the coming days.
Writing on social media, YouTuber and Fortnite player JovanMunja shared what he says is the full list of free titles, citing a mystery source.
“This got sent to me a few hours ago,” they wrote on Twitter last week. “I wasn’t sure if it’s real or not.”
The 15-day giveaway began on December 17 with Cities: Skylines, followed by Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty.
At this point, JovanMunja published his list, and it’s been bang on the money so far.
The next game on the list was survival hit The Long Dark, and sure enough, it was the next free title offered by Epic.
On Monday, the firm opened up a free listing of Defense Grid: The Awakening – the next game on the leaked list.
Following a couple of accurate predictions made by the list, JovanMunja said: “This list is most likely true. Still, take it [with] a grain of salt.”

Epic runs its Holiday Sale on its digital store in late December every year.
As well as offering a free game every day, the North Carolina company slashes prices on top games.
This year, blockbuster Ubisoft titles Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion are among the games given huge price cuts.
Epic will continue to release free games until January 1, while its sale runs until January 7.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X – when did they launch and how much do they cost?
Microsoft launched the Xbox Series X and its smaller, cheaper sibling, the Series S, on November 10.
The release date covered the UK, US, Australia and a bunch of other countries worldwide.
The disc-free Series S costs £249/$299, while the Xbox Series X comes in at £449/$499.
So how does that compare to the new Xbox’s biggest rival, the PlayStation 5?
The PS5 launch fell on November 12, but not everywhere.
That date only stood for the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea.
UK gamers had to wait until November 19 to order one of the consoles.
The PS5 proper costs £449.99/$499.99, while the digital edition comes in at £359/$399.
