Weekend deals: five free games, cheap 2K titles, and new Cities: Skylines DLC

Freebies and cheap Civilization

Recommended Videos

On a tight budget and need to blow off some steam this weekend? Even if you’re on no budget at all, there are five free games available from various sites, but they’re all only $0.00 for a limited time. GOG is giving away copies of Mount & Blade and Sang Froid – Tales of Werewolves through the end of today. Origin’s free game of the week became Death in Bermuda, which normally runs $15 and is among the highest list price games for free this weekend. (In EU? That free game becomes Medal of Honor Pacific Assault). If you’re a Twitch Prime member (Amazon Prime includes Twitch Prime) the normally $15 Titan Souls is free for a limited time. Last but not least on Tuesday Microsoft re-released the old 2005 Xbox game Phantom Dust and is giving it away from Xbox One and Windows 10 machines.

If you were hoping for a cheap weekend of Civilization titles, XCOM, or any of the 2K sports series check out GamersGate’s 2K Sale and GMG’s Civilization Sale. PC gamers are getting discounts up to 82% off 2K games. GMG has the best prices for Civ titles including the cheapest ever Civilization VI Deluxe for $45.55 and Civilization VI for $34.16. GamersGate’s 2K sale is larger and includes Summer sale pricing on popular titles like XCOM 2 and the Borderlands series.

This week marked the release of the newest Cities: Skylines DLC pack Mass Transit. The best price online is at the WinGameStore with a drop to $10.49 after coupon (elsewhere $13). Steam has the base game Cities: Skylines priced at $9.60 this weekend, which is much cheaper than its usual $30 but GMG is handily beating that price with a drop to $8.16 on their site. Actually we’d recommend skipping the base game and instead getting the Cities: Skylines Deluxe Edition from GMG for only $8.50 – a price cheaper than Steam is charging for the base game.
