This Weekend's PC Game Deals is a roundup of games - old, new, or soon to be released - that are available at a great price and can be activated on Steam, Origin, or Uplay - sometimes even good old games that are DRM-free.
AAA games with stunning visuals and physics may be all the rage these days, but there are lots of timeless classics that are still worth playing - and thanks to Origin Store’s “On the House” promotion, you can get some of them free of charge. Such is the case with Nox – an RPG from 2000 that is currently available as a free download for a limited time.
Speaking of “on the house” games, Ubisoft has a somewhat similar promotion of their own. Called ‘Ubi 30’, it celebrates the company’s 30th anniversary as a game publisher, and the way it works is that each month for the rest of 2016, Ubisoft will offer one free game for download, to help gamers “re-discover” legendary titles.
The only things you’ll need are a Uplay account and the Uplay client, and you’re set to get this month’s freebie, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell. Released back in 2002, it is just the first in one of the most beloved series of Ubisoft games – so much so that there’s a Splinter Cell movie in the works.
Ubisoft also has a challenge that can net you a free game. If you can complete the PC demo of the company’s recently released Trials of the Blood Dragon like a pro, you’ll get the game for free, whereas you’d have to pay at least $12.64 on Games Planet to get it. You can read more about the challenge here.
If you’ve been waiting to play Evolve, know that the developers are bringing it into focus again by making it free-to-play, and evolving it into Evolve: Stage 2.
There are quite a few deals available this weekend, and we’ve made a selection of the ones that are truly good. From indie games to triple AAA titles, what you’ll find in the table below is priced close to the historical low or at a new record low.
