Many video game enthusiasts may have turned their attention to the 2026 World Cup, but free game deals for the weekend are still going strong, presenting a great opportunity to enjoy games at no cost.
For those who miss football, the scenario is different on Xbox Series consoles and PCs, where the sport is not highlighted. However, one of this week’s top free titles is EA Sports FC 26, accessible through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscriptions, offering the full game experience.
“The World’s Game” modality recreates the global tournament taking place this year in the United States, Mexico and Canada, with the presence of all participating teams, as well as some extra teams. The launch of this special mode coincides with the big championship, allowing players to simulate any dispute to crown the best team on the planet.
Furthermore, the game was also made available on the Nintendo Switch Online service, remaining accessible until next Thursday, the 25th. For those who wish to purchase the title permanently, there is a significant 80% discount on the eShop, with prices of R$59.80 for the original hybrid console and R$69.80 for the most recent version, facilitating the journey to becoming a virtual champion.
However, between this Friday (19th) and next Sunday (21st), a variety of other important games can be enjoyed for free during the weekend. The additional advantage is being able to download these titles while supporting the Brazilian team in the championship games.
Below, check out a selection of five other games to play at no additional cost this weekend:
Another five additional titles available to play for free
Featured Racing Simulation: Assetto Corsa
Among the “Days to Play for Free” promotions on Xbox, one of the biggest attractions is Assetto Corsa, considered one of the most important racing simulators of the previous generation of consoles and an excellent option for online competitions with friends.
Despite being released twelve years ago, its graphics and level of detail are still impressive, providing a remarkable sensation of speed that is comparable to few more recent titles. In practice, the offer allows you to experience highly realistic races for free.
Space adventure and free choices with Citizen Sleeper
The free game on the Epic Games Store for this weekend is Citizen Sleeper, a title that takes inspiration from tabletop RPGs, granting players complete freedom to shape their destiny on a space station, without the constraints of pre-established laws or orders.
In this adventure, it is possible to help different characters, form alliances and create all kinds of twists so that the protagonist can leave his past behind. Despite the space setting, the game does not require a high-performance computer to run.
Celebrating ten years of horror in Dead by Daylight
With the ten-year celebrations of Dead by Daylight, the popular online multiplayer game is accessible at no cost to Xbox owners, with no need to be a Game Pass subscriber to explore the terrifying scenarios and try to survive until dawn.
In addition to celebrating his birthday, the free weekend version also includes the opportunity to experience new content from Jason, the iconic villain of the Friday the 13th franchise. This is, therefore, an excellent chance to experience the full experience.

Alongside the characters Yasuke and Naoe, it is possible to explore the game in its entirety, including the “The Claws of Awaji” expansion, until next Tuesday (23).
Although the game is also available for PlayStation 5, this specific offer is only active for Xbox Series and PCs. To take advantage of the chance, you must access the Ubisoft Store or Ubisoft Connect, subscribe to the six-day Ubisoft+ Premium trial period and cancel by the 23rd, if you do not wish to maintain the subscription.
A wide selection of free games
Even with these titles being the main highlights, there is still a wider range of games to enjoy at no cost. On Xbox, for example, players can also check out Two-Point Museum and PGA Tour 2K25. The Epic Games Store also offers Robobeat: Shoot to the Rhythm.
Meanwhile, Amazon Luna subscribers receive free Between Time: Escape Room, Sugardew Island, Space Grunts 2, and Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905. It is clear, therefore, that there will be no shortage of entertainment options in the coming days.
Having the full experience is always rewarding, but the possibility of a free upgrade is also a chance to be taken advantage of. With that in mind, Rockstar offers an unexpected gift for anyone who owns GTA 5 on the PS4 and Xbox One platforms.
