Epic’s now annual Epic Games Store Holiday Sale returns today, starts 15 days of free games this month and offers players an unlimited $ 10 coupon.
After announcing its plans for 15 days of free games last week, Epic now has the lid on its broader plans for the Epic Games Store Christmas Sale. The free game giveaway starts today with Cities Skylines, which is available for free download until 8:00 AM PT / 11:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM GMT tomorrow, when another title will replace it.
Perhaps the biggest offering this year comes in the form of an unlimited $ 10 voucher that you can use over and over at the store. To redeem the coupon, all you have to do is go to your Epic Games account and click on the “GET MY EPIC COUPON” button here. Nice and subtle for you.

You will automatically receive your first coupon when you make an eligible purchase or claim a free game during the promotional period, and you can earn another $ 10 Epic Coupon for every purchase you make on eligible $ 14.99 titles and higher. This also works in your regional equivalent, of course.
This promotion is very similar to the voucher we saw at the Epic Games Store Mega Sale, which basically makes anything attainable above $ 15 about $ 10 cheaper.
If you go to the Epic Games Store and enter “Holiday Sale 2020” in the search bar, you will see all the games that have been reduced for the Holiday Sale period.
The discounts, 15 days of free games, and unlimited $ 10 coupons all expire on January 7 at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm GMT.
Some of the highlights of the sale itself are:
• Assassin’s Creed Valhalla – 20% discount
• Jedi Fallen Order – 60%
• Star Wars Squadrons – 40% off
• Red Dead Redemption 2 – 33% discount
• Sid Meier’s Civilization VI – 75% discount
