The Epic Games Store weekly game giveaway has been refreshed after providing Ghostrunner for free. Now, the storefront has discounted The Big Con, a popular 90s-themed indie title, as well as providing an otherwise expensive pack for Town of Salem 2.

Throughout the last week, Epic Games has been running Ghostrunner as its free game of the week, down $29.99 in the US. While that offer has now ended, it has been replaced by two giveaways. It is worth noting that one relates to an items pack for a free-to-play game.

This time around, the Epic Games Store has reduced The Big Con, a 90s themed title that typically sells for $14.99. Again, this week's giveaway only relates to the base game, which was also true of Ghostrunner. Additionally, the storefront lists Town of Salem 2 as being its second free game of the week. However, this is only true of the Epic Dragon Shimmerscale Pack, which is valued at $100.

Please note that you must log in to the Epic Games Store and claim the Epic Dragon Shimmerscale Pack before April 25 at 15:59 and not just download Town of Salem 2 itself. In short, system requirements for both titles are relatively low, although The Big Con is the more demanding of the two. Still, The Big Con's developers only recommend an Intel Core i7-3770K or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 480 GPU, as well as 8 GB of RAM and 4 GB of storage. By contrast, Town of Salem 2 should run on any device running Windows macOS with a 64-bit processor clocked at 2 GHz, 8 GB of RAM and a DirectX 10-compatible GPU that has at least 2 GB VRAM.

Purchase the 8BitDo Pro 2 (G Classic Edition) on Amazon
