The Callisto Protocol, which normally sells for Rs 2,499 on the Epic Games Store, went free on December 24. However, the window to claim it is limited. Epic has confirmed that the title will be replaced by another free game later today, December 25, at 9:30 PM IST. Anyone who misses the claim window will have to buy the game at its regular price once the free period ends. Also Read: Epic Games Store Is Giving Away Cassette Beasts For Free, But Only For A Day

Released as a survival horror title, The Callisto Protocol is set on a distant prison colony where things quickly spiral out of control. Players take on the role of an inmate fighting to survive against hostile creatures, with gameplay centred on close-quarters combat, exploration, and a tense atmosphere. The game drew attention at launch for its visual detail and cinematic presentation, though opinions around its combat mechanics were mixed.

Epic’s daily giveaway event has become a familiar fixture for PC gamers during the holiday season. Epic usually does not reveal its giveaway lineup in advance. Each free title is announced shortly before it goes live, which means users need to check the store regularly if they want to claim every game during the promotion.

Add Techlusive as a Preferred Source

To claim The Callisto Protocol, users need to sign in to their Epic Games account, open the game’s store page, and complete the checkout process while it is listed as free. Once added, the game remains in the user’s library permanently. The next free title in Epic’s festive lineup will unlock later tonight, continuing the daily rotation through the end of the year.
