This weekend is packed with free games on PC and Xbox, with a wide range of titles that can be claimed at no cost and will remain in your library forever. Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Xbox Store have launched several temporary promotions —and one permanent one— that allow you to download strategy, puzzle, arcade action, or musical adventure games without paying a single euro.

• Get Ultra Street Fighter IV for free on Steam

Some of these games are only available for a few days, so it’s a good idea to hurry up before they disappear. Others, like Boxel 3D, have switched directly to a free model and will no longer have a price. In total, you can get 9 complete games for free across the three platforms, with direct downloads and no need for subscriptions. Here’s the complete list, with dates and descriptions so you can choose your favorites.
