Steam is adding free Steam games to its platform this weekend, allowing PC players to check out two 2026 releases at no extra cost until August 24 at 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST. Unlike permanent additions, these trial periods do not let you keep the games after the window closes, but they provide full access for the weekend.
Quick Facts
- Free Play Window: Available until August 24, 2026 at 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST on Steam.
- Over The Top: WWI Discount: On sale for 40% off until August 27.

Over The Top: WWI
For players looking for a large-scale multiplayer experience, Over The Top: WWI supports up to 200 players in a single historical match. The tactical FPS features destructible sandbox maps, fortifications, bunkers, and multiple vehicle and weapon roles.
Players who decide to purchase the game after trying it can grab Over The Top: WWI at 40% off until the sale ends on August 27.
Front Mission 3 Remake
If you prefer a tactical single-player RPG, the 2026 release of Front Mission 3 Remake offers a modernized version of the classic turn-based mech strategy game. The campaign features diverging storylines, global conspiracies, and a newly introduced quick battle mode to skip lengthy animations.
Because the campaign spans over 40 hours, the free weekend window serves primarily as a trial to test the gameplay before the promotional trial expires. For those looking to continue past the weekend, Front Mission 3 Remake is discounted by 50% until September 3.
