Wed Dec 25 16:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Epic Games Store Gives Away Control for Free (Again)

**New York, NY – December 25, 2024** – The Epic Games Store continues its annual holiday giveaway with a controversial free game offering: Remedy Entertainment’s acclaimed 2019 title, *Control*. This marks the return of the third-person action shooter to the Epic Games Store’s free games lineup, having previously been offered for free in 2021 (and possibly earlier).

The giveaway, part of the Epic Games Store’s “mystery game” promotion, runs until December 26th at 10:00 AM CST. While many players welcome the chance to add the award-winning game to their libraries, some express disappointment, noting that it’s a repeat offering.

*Control* joins a lineup of free games this December including *The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria*, *Vampire Survivors*, *Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles*, *TerraTech*, *Wizard of Legend*, and *Dredge*. The Epic Games Store’s free game promotion continues to generate excitement, although the re-offering of *Control* has sparked debate among users about the quality of this year’s selection compared to previous years.
