In an effort to promote its Epic Mega Sale promotion, theEpic Games Storehas been giving away free mystery games. Things kicked off with the big budget sports gameNBA 2K21, which was followed byAmong Us, and thenFrostpunk. Each Thursday, theEpic Games Storereveals its next free mystery game. Well, the last free Epic Games Store mystery game has now been revealed, and it comes with a bonus freebie for EGS users.
The latest Epic Games Store free game isControl, the critically-acclaimed third-person shooter from Remedy Entertainment.Controlwon numerous awardswhen it launched in 2019, and is also notable for having once been exclusive to the Epic Games Store on PC.

Controlmakes a great free game by itself, but it’s not the only freebie that Epic Games Store users can take advantage of right now. Fans can also get some bonus content in thefree-to-playGenshin Impactin the form of extra gold, food, and upgrade crystals. LikeControl, theGenshin Impactfreebies are only available for a limited time, with the offer expiring on June 17 at 10:00am CT.
With theEpic Mega Saleending on June 17 as well, one would think that the Epic Games Store would have one more free mystery game up its sleeve. However, it seems as though the Epic Games Store is no longer running its free mystery game promotion, instead letting fans know in advance what free games they can look forward to in the near future. As it so happens, Epic Games Store users will have two free games to claim from June 17 to June 24 whenControlis cycled out.
From June 17 to June 24, Epic Games Store users can claimHell is Other DemonsandOvercooked 2for free. And once those games are out, it’s quite likely that the Epic Games Store will then announce the next batch of free games ahead of time as well. However, it will likely bring back its free mystery game promotion at some point down the line, maybe even this coming December.
Last year, theEpic Games Store had an advent calendar of free gamesthat it used to count down to Christmas. It’s unclear if that’s going to happen again this year, but Epic Games Store users should stay tuned for more information.
