One of the best cRPGs is free to keep forever, but only for today

A snow-covered area in Disco Elysium.

Epic Games is currently running a hell of a campaign. Each day, a mysterious game is revealed to the world and given out for free in true Christmas fashion. Some of them have been bangers, others not so much. But today, on Christmas, one of the best cRPGs has been put up for free.

And the game in question is Disco Elysium, the incredible title from ZA/UM. Set in a fictional, politically ravaged landscape, Disco Elysium puts you in the shoes of a nameless detective meandering through the streets, trying to solve a strange case alongside his sharper, more focused partner.

The detective is a reflection of your (assumed or actual) complex political reality and can take on the role of anything you want him to, with each action carrying significant consequences, thus altering the outcome of each playthrough.

The game is as beautiful and stylish as it is well-written, and is a masterclass in video game narrative design in just about every way imaginable.

So unless you have a major hatred of Epic Games and oppose engaging with the platform in any capacity, you’d do well for yourself to pick the game up. It’ll be free throughout Dec. 25, before being replaced by another mystery game.

This promotion from Epic is set to last throughout these last few days of 2025, closing off with Dec. 31. Of course, there’s also a holiday sale going on, which will continue into 2026, ending in early January.

There hasn’t been a better time to buy and get new games, so make sure you don’t miss out on these amazing promotions, especially when a platform is giving out 10/10 masterpieces for literally zero dollars.

Fight going on in Escape from Tarkov

The last week of December in Escape from Tarkov has become an active time for players to grind, as they can use various recipes at a Christmas Tree to get different items.

This Christmas Tree can be found inside your own hideout. There are six Christmas Trees spread across different maps. You’ll find Christmas Ornaments from these trees that you can bring back in your inventory. Using them at your hideout will allow you to get different rewards, and this guide will provide you with all available recipes.

For starters, you’ll have to find the Christmas Trees to get the Ornaments. You’ll also need to find plenty if you’re looking to maximize this event. There are some exciting recipes to try out. Tangerine is one such option that is required for more advanced recipes. You can also find Tangerine from Christmas Trees, but the odds appear to be low.

If you’re approaching the endgame stage and close to level 35, crafting the LedX will be immensely helpful. Stimulants are also a great choice, and there are different ones available based on your needs. You can craft them for your own requirements, or store them to sell later at a profit. Ultimately, the choice depends on your needs and how many resources you can manage to find.
