2 Games You Can Play for Free, this Weekend Only (Bonus: Total War Weekend on the Humble Store)
The week is almost over and you’re excited to go home and play video games all weekend long. But... you don’t want to play any of the games you already own and you don’t want to spend any money on buying something new. Well, since you’re not exactly sure what to play, let me throw a few suggestions your way.
Steam currently has two "free weekend" deals to offer: Disc Jam and Battlerite. You can play these games for free until Sunday, July 16, at 1PM Pacific Time. And if you’re a fan of the Total War franchise, the Humble Store is offering discounts of up to 75% as part of its Total War Weekend promo.
.
UPDATE: Jotun:Valhalla Edition is completely free on Steam until July 17.
1. Disc Jam
Disc Jam is a third-person fast-paced action-sports game that combines elements of air hockey and tennis. You can play by yourself, in a 1-vs-1 game, or you can team up with a friend and take part in a 2-vs-2 match. During each match you’ll have to catch & throw a glowing disc while defending your end zone – you know, just like playing air hockey. Disc Jam differs from air hockey by letting you unleash various types of abilities, depending on what character you selected from the game’s roster.
Did you know that High Horse Entertainment created this game as a means to stress-test its network code? After working on the game for 8 weeks, the developer decided to bring it to IndieCade 2015 and let people give it a try. Encouraged by the positive response, the developer decided to turn Disc Jam into a proper game.
If you want to give Disc Jam a try, you can play the game for free until Sunday at 1PM Pacific Time. And if you like the game and decide that you want to play it for longer, you can buy it for a 50% discount. The game is priced at $7.49 instead of $14.99 until Monday, July 17, at 10AM Pacific time.

2. Battlerite
First things first: although this game has been around since September 2016, it still carries the Steam Early Access tag. So if you’re not okay with that, move on. But if the Early Access badge doesn’t scare you, then here’s what you need to know: this is a team arena brawler action video game that focuses on PvP combat. Pick your champion, enter the arena, and fight side by side with teammates in 2v2 and 3v3 matches that will put your timing, precision and skills to the test.
PC Gamer says that "Battlerite is the best teamfight you’ve ever had, over and over." Kotaku says that " Battlerite is accessible, frantic, and a really great time.” And Rock Paper Shotgun says that "if you you’ve ever enjoyed a teamfight in a MOBA, I can guarantee you’ll get a kick out of Battlerite."
The Battlerite free weekend is available until Sunday, July 16, at 1PM Pacific Time. Should you decide that the game is worth your money, you can get it for a 33% discount, discount that is available until Monday, July 17, at 10AM Pacific Time. The game is priced at $13.39 instead of $19.99 until Monday.
