No particular gaming service celebrates the holidays quite like theEpic Games Store. It is currently winding down its free mystery game promotion, which has given fans 13 games thus far (counting today’s offering). That follows the freeEpic Games Storegames that were given away at the start of the month and will be followed by new games that reach into the new year (December 30-January 6).
Rumor has it: the mystery promo and new games of the first year will beTomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, andShadow of the Tomb Raider.Giving away a full trilogy would be quite the move to end the year and begin the new one with. Nonetheless, there’s a couple of days until then, and fans now have a new game that they can claim on December 28 (lasting until December 29 at 10 AM CT). That game isMoving Out.

Epic Games Store Free Mystery Game Today: Moving Out
Moving Outis an over-the-top physics game where players, as Movers, must load household furniture and appliances such as couches and refrigerators into moving trucks. It’s a fun couch co-op game that many may truly enjoy. It’s not as intense as a game likeControl(also given away via Epic Games Store), but it’s a good one when players are looking for something more relaxing.Moving Outhas received generally positive reviewssince launch, with many comparing its graphic style and other aspects to the Overcooked! franchise.
Obstacles, heavy objects, throwables, and speed all add a ton of fun gameplay factors to the game, where players can earn bronze, silver, or gold ranks based on the speed of their packing. Furthermore, there is an Assist Mode feature that reduces the difficulty and a game mode to unpack the items from a moving truck. For those who check outMoving Outand find they enjoy it, there’s aMovers in Paradise DLCthat adds 14 new levels to the game, and it also adds new characters and items.
Overall, it’s been a pretty good ride on the Epic Games Store promo so far. Beginning withShenmue 3, delivering major titles likePreyandControl, and having smaller, more explorative titles likeMoving OutandLoop Hero(one of the best RPGs of the year), and so on really shows that the EGS is all about that holiday life.
Epic Games Storeusers typically get a handful of free games every month.
