Enjoy These 5 Free Games on Steam This Weekend!

If you’re planning to dive into some PC gaming this weekend without emptying your wallet, Steam has some great options for you. You can enjoy five games for free until June 22 at 1 p.m. EDT. This lineup features a classic grand strategy title, one of the standout games of 2025, and a multiplayer powerhouse. Plus, all these games are on sale, so if you enjoy them, you can snag them at a significant discount afterward. Additionally, Don’t Nod’s narrative adventure game, Tell Me Why, is available for free to keep throughout Pride Month.

**Stellaris** is a grand strategy game where you build a galactic empire. You take command of an advanced civilization, exploring the universe and engaging in diplomacy or warfare with alien races. Released in 2016, it has received numerous expansions since then. Developed by Paradox Development Studio, known for titles like Crusader Kings 3 and Hearts of Iron 4, Stellaris is currently 70% off, priced at $14.99 until June 25.

**Two Point Museum** is the latest simulation game from Two Point Studios, putting you in charge as the manager and curator of a museum. You can choose from five unique museum types, including those focused on prehistory, science, and the supernatural. Your goal is to satisfy guests while keeping employees happy and turning a profit. The Two Point series has garnered positive feedback, and this installment is no exception, boasting an Overwhelmingly Positive user score on Steam, a BAFTA nomination, and an 84 on Metacritic. It’s available for $20.09, a 33% discount, until next week.

**Dead By Daylight** is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game that has thrived for a decade. You can play as either a slasher villain or a survivor, collaborating or competing with other players to stay alive. This game has become a phenomenon, attracting over 60 million players and featuring collaborations with major horror franchises like Halloween and Resident Evil. The base game is currently 60% off, priced at $7.99.

If you’re into giant robots, **MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries** might be right up your alley. Set during the Succession Wars, this first-person game emphasizes the intricate details of piloting these massive machines, requiring players to manage various systems and damage to survive. MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is available for $7.49, a 75% discount, until June 25.

Lastly, there’s **Speedball**, a lesser-known action sports game that revives the 1988 series. Set in a dystopian future, players engage in a hybrid of football and handball, complete with parkour and jetpacks. This could be a great time to try it out, as the multiplayer title has struggled to gain traction, reflected in its Mixed user score from just 83 reviews on Steam. A common criticism is the lack of ongoing support from developer Rebellion, leaving the game with solid core mechanics but a sparse experience. It’s currently priced at $8.99, which is 70% off.

Demand for Valve’s new PC controller has reportedly exceeded expectations.
