The available dated evidence does not establish that Ghostrunner is free to claim on the Epic Games Store today, October 8, 2026. Epic giveaways are time-limited, so check the official Epic Games Store Free Games page for the live offer shown in your region.
What the dated listing says
A PC Gamer listing reports that Epic’s September 24–October 1, 2026 promotion featured Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles and Mechabellum, not Ghostrunner. That window had ended by October 8, and the listing is historical reporting rather than a live check of Epic’s store. It does not establish that Ghostrunner is claimable now.
