Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place, every week, for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets.

Epic Games Store"s giveaways of 2023 are nearing their end, but before the winter finale, two more games are now available to claim: GigaBash and Predecessor.

GigaBash is a multiplayer fighting game offering 2v2 and free-for-all battles where giant monsters inspired by kaiju are the fighters. The title also touts "earth-shattering" special attacks and destructible environments. Meanwhile, Predecessor combines MOBA and shooter genres into a action strategy experience that should be familiar to those who remember Paragon.

The two games will remain free to claim until December 14. On that same date, Epic Games will kick off its holiday mystery giveaways,

The final Humble Choice selection of 2023 is now live too. The latest eight games from the monthly promotion showed up earlier this week, offering Steam keys for an impressive collection of indies.
