Epic Games Holiday Giveaway Day 6: Bloodstained Free Today Plus Everything Released So Far
Day six of Epic Games’ holiday free game bonanza and were still riding high. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night dropped today and if you havent grabbed it yet you got until tomorrow at 11 AM Eastern.
After the absolute chaos of day one when Hogwarts Legacy crashed their servers this has been a pretty smooth ride. Lets break down everything thats happened.
Todays Free Game: Bloodstained Ritual of the Night
Solid pick. This is basically a spiritual successor to Castlevania made by one of the original creators. Game Rant confirms its available from December 23rd to 24th at 11 AM ET. If you like metroidvania style games with RPG elements this ones a no brainer.
The game normally runs around $40 so thats real money saved right there.
The Complete List So Far
Epic started this thing on December 11th with the Hogwarts Legacy disaster and has been dropping daily games since December 18th:
Day 1 (Dec 18): Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel – viking roguelike stuff
Day 2 (Dec 19): Eternights – dating sim meets action game which is as weird as it sounds
Day 3 (Dec 20): Blood West – weird west horror shooter
Day 4 (Dec 21): Sorry We’re Closed – horror adventure
Day 5 (Dec 22): Paradise Killer – open world murder mystery
Day 6 (Dec 23): Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
CBR has a running tally showing the total value is now over $200 worth of free games. Not bad for literally just clicking a button.
Whats Coming Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?
This is where it gets interesting. Nobody knows for sure but the community is speculating hard. Screen Rant notes Epic typically saves the biggest titles for the final days.
Some are guessing a big AAA title for Christmas itself. Others think theyll spread the wealth. The gaming industry has been weird this year so who knows what Epic has cooking.

The Hogwarts Legacy Incident
Quick recap for those who missed it – Epic dropped Hogwarts Legacy free on December 11th and their servers completely melted. Like couldnt even load the store page melted. Beebom covered the whole mess.
They eventually got it sorted but man that first day was rough. Since then the daily drops have gone much smoother.
Two more days of free games left. Set your alarms people.
