While Epic Game Store, Xbox, and PlayStation offer free games regularly, it’s uncommon to see Steam dole out paid games at no charge. However, gamers can claim two games on Steam right now, all for the low price of free.

However, gamers will need to act fast if they want to claim them, as they’re only available this weekend, with the promotion set to expire on May 30 forLittle Nightmaresand on May 31 forCompany of Heroes 2.
