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.

Humble Bundle didn"t introduce any new PC gaming bundles this week, but it did add some new items to its ongoing ones.

In addition to all the racing games that the Codemasters Humble Racing Bundle offered last week, the store added GRID Autosport to the "beat the average" tier, as well as the game"s season pass to the $15 tier. If you already bought the bundle last week, the new keys should already be in your Humble library, ready to be claimed on Steam.

Next, we have the Yogscast Jingle Jam 2017 bundle, where all proceeds go to charities of your choice. The bundle continues to unveil new gaming related items every day, which include games, coupons, DLC, and more. Some highlights from the bundle include Rust, Garry"s Mod, Gunpoint, Guild Wars 2 Heroic Edition, and Scanner Sombre.

The bundle will set you back $35, however, as some items are only available in limited quantities, if you"re interested in purchasing it, better do it quick. Speaking of being quick, the Humble Store is giving away Homefront for free until later today, be sure to claim the game before the promotion expires.

Following its Watch Dogs giveaway from last month, Ubisoft is back with another one for December, and this time around it has the Massive Entertainment developed strategy title, World in Conflict: Complete Edition, on offer.

The Complete Edition arrives with the base game, where the Soviet Union invades the U.S., beginning World War III, as well as its Soviet Assault expansion, which gives you a look at the war from the opposing side. If you"re interested in the multiplayer, this community-developed fix should restore all functionality.

The giveaway will come to an end on December 11, however, just a day later, Ubisoft will start a free promotion for Assassin"s Creed: Black Flag. A great opportunity to experience what fans deem to be one of the best games from the series.

Free Events

Another Massive Entertainment developed game is free this weekend, but only temporarily. In celebration of launching The Division"s largest free update ever, Ubisoft is hosting a free weekend for the game, accessible via both its Uplay client and Steam. If you want to roam around in a post-epidemic New York City while shooting up bad guys and collecting loot, this is a fantastic time to do so.

Egosoft, the developer behind the X sci-fi strategy and space trading series has made the franchise"s entire lineup of games free to play for the weekend. This includes the main games X: Beyond the Frontier, X2: The Threat, X3: Reunion, and X Rebirth, as well as their expansions, all of which can be found here.

Big Deals

Note that a large number deals from the Steam store are thanks to the Game Awards 2017 sale. However, all the discounted games are slated to return back to their regular prices at 10am PST today, so act in haste if you"re planning on picking anything up.

Keep in mind that many stores should be starting their Winter Sales from next week, so it may be better to wait until then.

DRM-free Goodness

Now, with all those pesky DRM-filled games out of the way, let"s have a look at some DRM-free deals that are on offer at the GOG store.

Do keep in mind that availability and pricing for some deals may vary depending on the region you"re in.

And that is it for our pick of this weekend"s PC game deals folks, and hopefully, some of you have enough self-restraint not to break the bank adding new games to your ever-growing backlogs. Of course, there is an enormous amount of other deals ready and waiting all over the interwebs if you comb through it hard enough, so keep your eyes open for those as well.
