The holiday season is here, and so is Epic Games’ much-loved December mystery game event, giving away a bunch of beloved titles to gamers for free all month long.
Similar to previous years, the 2025 Epic Games mystery game giveaways are expected to include a bunch of popular AAA games, which users can redeem for free simply by having an account on the platform.
The first mystery game for the event has already been revealed, and it’s a big one. Announced during The Game Awards, Epic Games is giving away Hogwarts Legacy for free as the opening title of the event. But you’ll have to be quick, as it’s only available to claim until December 18 before being replaced by a new game.
Epic Games December 2025 Mystery Games Reportedly Leaked
While Epic Games has yet to officially confirm any of the upcoming mystery game giveaways, the full list of games that the company will give away during the event has reportedly been leaked online.
The leaks initially came from a user on the Chinese social media app QQ, and they’ve since started circulating on X and other platforms.
We couldn’t verify the authenticity of these leaks, and some of the leaked titles seem a little too good to be true, so we recommend taking this list with a large grain of salt.
Epic Games Mystery Games December 2025: Full Leaked List
Below, we’ve listed all the titles that may be given away for free over the course of the month, as claimed by the leakers:
Jurassic World: Evolution 2 – December 18th
Desperados 3 – December 19th
Total War: Warhammer – December 20th
Tropico 5 – December 21st
Chicken Police – Paint it Red! – December 22nd
Loop Hero – December 23rd
LEGO Batman – December 24th
Commander Keen – December 25th
Farming Simulator 2022 – December 26th
Slime Rancher 2 – December 27th
Terraria – December 28th
Detroit: Become Human – December 29th
Mortal Kombat 11 – December 30th
Red Dead Redemption 2 – December 31st
Are the Epic Games Mystery Games Leaks Accurate?
A number of factors suggest that the aforementioned leaked list may not be entirely accurate. For starters, Terraria is not available on the Epic Games Store at all, immediately calling the credibility of the leak into question. However, there’s always a chance of the title being debuted on the platform on the same date.
On top of that, Epic Games has traditionally reserved its biggest giveaway for December 25th. In this case, however, the list claims that Commander Keen would be offered on Christmas Day, while major titles such as Detroit: Become Human and Red Dead Redemption 2 are supposedly scheduled for December 29 and 31. This doesn’t align with Epic’s usual giveaway strategy.
As a result, we recommend treating this leaked list with a healthy dose of skepticism.
The StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 has left a mark on the history of Counter-Strike 2, peaking with an astonishing 1,543,810 peak concurrent viewers in the final match of Team Vitality and FaZe Clan, making this event the fifth most-watched esports competition in the history of CS2.
Team Vitality put on a dominating show and won their third Major title with a 3-1 victory over FaZe Clan in a best-of-five match in a Major final for the first time in history, which took place in a $1.25 million prize-pool competition at the MVM Dome in Budapest before a crowd of 20,000 spectators, and Budapest is now definitely on the Counter-Strike map.
The viewing numbers speak for themselves in terms of the interest in esports across the globe. The record-breaking event took place during the decisive map in the series, with numbers higher than the second most-viewed match in 2025, the BLAST.tv Austin Major finals, which 1,789,038 people viewed.
Not only is this a testament to the incredible Easter egg event put on by StarLadder, but it also highlights their ‘resurrection’ in the Counter-Strike esports scene after a rather lengthy break. This event is considered their most successful to date, including non-CS2 esports events.
The presence of such performances in the playoffs shows how attractive this competition is. The match between NAVI and FURIA in the quarter finals had almost 1.49 million concurrent viewers, and on the first day of the competition, Kick streaming platform achieved its all-time esports peak with a total of 141,027 views. The record-breaking performances in this competition show a growing interest in this event among people from all over the world.
Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut took home the title of MVP of this tournament, securing his third Major victory in total. Such a victory in Budapest Major demonstrates a revival in StarLadder’s fortunes as a major esports organization and confirms Counter-Strike’s strength as a developing esports platform with the power to attract millions at once.

Follow these simple steps to register for BGIS 2026:
Team Vitality is the winner of the StarLadder Budapest Major, and with this, they have marked an era of domination and cemented their spot as the best team in the world. Losing out on the opening map against FaZe Clan, Vitality came back with 3 back-to-back wins and brought home consecutive Majors.
FaZe kicked off the Major Grand Finals with a clean pistol-round win and built on that before Vitality, on a low buy, shut down the defence to get their first round. FaZe took the momentum back in the following round, but Vitality broke their money in the 9th round to close in on the lead. A Deagle 4K from jcobbb stunned Vitality, leading to an 8-4 half. 2-0 start from FaZe in the second half, put them on double digits off the back of pistol round 3K by jcobbb. Vitality managed no more than two rounds, and their hopes of a comeback were put to bed with Karrigan rushing in from behind with an MP9, and getting a 3K sealed the deal for Vitality as FaZe took home the first map of the series.
Map 2: Dust 2; Pick: Vitality; Winner: Vitality
Starting the map with a 1v2 from flameZ, Vitality bulldozed through FaZe for the entirety of the first half. Domination mixed with a few close calls coloured a solid half for Vitality, where FaZe managed to pull in 2 rounds by the end of the first half. FaZe rushed A Long, hoping to kick-start the comeback, but ZyWoo picked apart 4 players and put a stop to it right from the get-go. Winning the pistol round, Vitality comfortably closed the map with a dominant scoreline of 13-3. 17 kills from ZyWoo levelled the series before heading to FaZe’s pick of Inferno.
Map 3: Inferno; Pick: FaZe; Winner: Vitality
Having taken a beating in the previous map, FaZe laid out a perfect pistol round by walking in through the smoke in the B site. FaZe built on top of that only to let Vitality take back control as soon as the first gun round. FaZe managed only 1 more before, as Vitality managed to win all of the remaining rounds by the end of the first half. mezii pulled in a few impressive rounds in favour of Vitality and put them ahead with an 8-4 scoreline. FaZe winning the pistol round closed in on the lead, but Vitality pulled ahead with the first gun round in the second half. While FaZe put up a tough fight in the second half, they succumbed to the massive lead they gave away to Vitality in the second half. A 23-8 masterclass from mezii put Vitality a map away from the trophy with a statement performance.
Map 4: Overpass; Pick: Vitality; Winner: Vitality
Despite getting the opening kill, FaZe dropped the ball to the point that they failed to pick up anything more than a single round by the end of the first half. A 12-1 domination of the CT side of Overpass from Vitality saw them wipe the floor with FaZe, and the difference in quality of both teams was on display for the world. Having stood no chance on the favoured side of Overpass, Vitality converted the force buy after losing out on the pistol. Without wasting any more time, Vitality put the game to bed in the following round and sealed their second Major of CS2with domination and style.
A performance worthy of the “Team of the Year” title and having already won the Paris Major earlier this year, back-to-back Major wins from Vitality showcased an era of domination that resembles that of Astralis. The Vitality era is officially here, and this massive win will see them head into 2026 as the best team in the world, a title they lost before coming into the event.
