What are the new free games on the Epic Games Store this week? (Dec. 26 – Jan. 2)
Ghostrunner 2
Ghostrunner 2 is a 2023 first-person slasher from Control publisher 505 Games, set one year after the events of the original Ghostrunner game. It can be free for one day only, before it’s replaced by the next mystery holiday gift.
