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.
There aren't any new gaming bundles to highlight so we head straight into the Epic Games Store's "15 Days of Free Games" promotion, and what's available at the time of publishing is a copy of Encased.
The latest drop is an indie CRPG that released in 2021 after spending some time in early access, offering players a post-apocalyptic sci-fi experience set in an alternate reality period in the 1970s.
Being that the Encased giveaway is already well into its 24-hour timer, you may want to hurry if you want to claim a copy of it. Judging by the hint, and continuing the post-apocalyptic streak, it's something from the Metro franchise that's coming next. There are five more days of freebies remaining too.
