Fans can claim the award-winning 2019 third-person shooter until December 26, 10:00 am CST, before the next mystery game is revealed.

Epic's Holiday Season Giveaways

December has become a highly anticipated period for Epic Games Store users, thanks to the platform’s tradition of releasing free games daily during the holiday season. This year’s lineup kicked off with The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria and has since featured popular titles such as Vampire Survivors, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, and Dredge.

Control’s addition marks a return for the game, which was previously offered for free on the platform in 2021. Renowned for its engaging gameplay and narrative depth, Control connects to Remedy's larger gaming universe, making it a standout offering.

While longtime Epic Games users may already have Control in their libraries, the reappearance provides an opportunity for newcomers to experience one of Remedy Entertainment’s best-received games. This year’s promotion continues to feature a strong selection of critically praised and fan-favourite titles, maintaining momentum as the event moves toward its conclusion.

The holiday giveaway event runs until January 9, 2024, with new games being revealed daily. Gamers can look forward to discovering what the next surprise title will be after Control exits the lineup.
