Weekend PC game deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered in one place every week for your consumption. So sit back, relax and hold on to your wallet.
Your games library can be expanded by two items this weekend thanks to the latest giveaways taking place. Starting with the usual Epic Games Store freebie, you can now get a copy of it Dandara: Trials of Fear, which replace Galactic Civilizations III from last week.
Developed by Long Hat House, the title is a 2D metroidvania platformer in which players explore the world of Salt in order to liberate an oppressed people.
You can claim this in your Epic Games library until February 4 For the king will come back that day as a freebie. Epic also recently confirmed that weekly freebies will continue through 2021.
As for the next giveaway, there’s something epic about it too, but not the store. You can now make a copy of it Ultimate epic battle simulator from Steam for free. This is a sandbox title where you can create creative battles with thousands of units – like 50,000 chickens versus 10,000 Orcs – and see who comes out on top. This giveaway will end on February 1, so try to grab it before then.
While Humble is back in rest mode this week, in the meantime you can check out Fanatical’s latest Reaper bundle.
This eighth iteration of the bundle series ships with copies of This war of mine, his Stories Season Pass, One Finger Death Punch 2, AVICII Invector, Close to the Sun, Shadows: Awakening, Mordheim: City of the Damned, and Vikings – Wolves of Midgard.
All eight items in the bundle can be picked up for $ 3.99 and they arrive as Steam keys.
Free events
The two free events that kicked off this weekend are a strange combination.
You can try it out Madden NFL 21 from EA to experience the latest entry in the long-running sports series, while also trying to build and manage a private prison in search of profit through Paradox Interactive’s Prison Architect. Both games are available through Steam and will end the free trial on January 31st.
Prepare your wish lists too, because another Steam Game Festival kicks off next week, featuring hundreds of demos for upcoming indie games.
Great deals
The Steam Lunar New Year Sale is a few weeks away, but until then there are plenty of games you can grab at significant discounts. In addition, Ndemic Creations is currently giving away its new The Cure DLC Plague Inc. owners free, with the promotion ending when COVID-19 is under control. Check out the highlights of our great deals for this weekend:
DRM free goodness
The highlights of the DRM-free deals you will find below are from GOG’s latest first-person and fast-paced game collections.
Please be aware that availability and prices for some deals may vary depending on the region you are in.
And that’s it for our pick of this weekend’s PC game deals, and hopefully some of you have enough self-control not to add even more games to your growing backlog this season. Of course, there are a lot more deals out there on the internet if you comb through them hard enough, so keep your eyes peeled and have a great weekend.
