The latest free games on the Epic Games Store have arrived just in time for Halloween. For the most part, the free games that Epic Games has handed out throughout October have had nothing to do with “spooky season”. Instead, the free PC titles have been a bit random and have included the likes of Bear and Breakfast, Invincible Presents: Atom Eve, and Moving Out. Luckily, for those EGS users who have been hoping that these free games would tie in a bit more with Halloween, Epic has finally delivered with its latest lineup.
Available from today until the morning of November 7th, the Epic Games Store is handing out both Ghostwire: Tokyo and Witch It for nothing whatsoever. Far and away the biggest game of this pair is that of Ghostwire: Tokyo, which launched originally in 2022. Published by Bethesda and developed by Tango Gameworks, Ghostwire is a first-person shooter that contains supernatural horror elements. As such, it’s a perfect game to hand out in tandem with Halloween.

Witch It is then a bit lesser known, but it’s arguably even more appropriate to give out for free on Halloween. Released in 2020, Witch It is a multiplayer hide and seek game where players are tasked with trying to find witches that are hidden within certain environments. Despite not carrying the same name recognition as Ghostwire: Tokyo, Witch It has been a hit with those who have played it as it boasts a “Very Positive” rating on Steam. As such, be sure to add it to your EGS library while it’s available for nothing over the next week.
You can learn more about both of these free games that have landed on the Epic Games Store this week by finding their official descriptions and trailers below.
