The first free title is Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered, which tells an original story about the four guys who bust ghosts for a living set two years after the events of Ghostbusters II.

The game originally launched on the PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Wii, and Xbox 360 in 2009. The remastered version launched last year for the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch to coincide with the game’s 10th anniversary and the franchise’s 35th anniversary.

The other free game is Blair Witch, which has an original story and takes place two years after the events of the first film, The Blair Witch Project, and initially launched last year for PC and Xbox One.

Both games can be claimed for free from the Epic Games Store starting today until Thursday, Nov. 5 at 11 a.m. ET. The store is also holding a Halloween sale with 144 discounted titles until the same day.

Epic Games also announced that next week’s free game will be Wargame: Red Dragon, a real-time strategy game featuring militaries from 17 nations.
