Steam’s big Steam Next Fest event is coming up soon with the next big game demo festival scheduled to start on February 21st, but PC gamers don’t have to wait that long to take advantage of some Steam-exclusive opportunities. The platform is having another one of its weekends full of free-to-play with eight different titles free for a limited time. The only catch, of course, is that these games are free for you to play, not for you to keep entirely.

Free weekends are pretty commonplace on Steam, but it’s relatively rare to see this many games included in the free weekend at one time unless some sort of event is going on. Regardless of the reason for why all these free games have aligned during one weekend, you can start playing them for free now if you need something to try over the next couple of days.
The games free for the weekend are found below along with brief descriptions of each one to share more insights into what they’re about, though you probably don’t need much background on the first game: FIFA 22.
