Steam's Free Weekend promotion is turning several paid games free for a limited time, with this weekend's selection available from now through September 14 at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET. As usual, the Steam promotion is a temporary way to play the full versions of participating games, making it a good opportunity to see whether something is worth picking up before the weekend comes to an end.
Steam's Free Weekend promotion is also a little different from the store's Free-to-Keep giveaways, which can occasionally make the terminology confusing. Steam's Free-to-Keep games only need to be claimed during their promotional window to remain permanently available in a player's library. Steam Free Weekend games work differently: the games can be played without purchasing them during the promotional period, but access ends once that window closes. In other words, there is no need to worry about claiming a game forever, but there is a deadline for actually playing it.
This weekend's Steam Free Weekend lineup gives players several different types of games to check out: Borderlands 4, Mordhau, Surviving Mars: Relaunched, F1 25 2026 Season Edition, and Crime Boss Rockay City. Each one can be played for free until September 14 at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET, with players having plenty of access to each game, and players who decide to keep playing afterward can typically purchase the games at a discount during the promotion. Alongside the discounted price, additional information (including links to each game) is listed below to help readers decide and pick which games to play this weekend.

Borderlands 4 moves the series to Kairos, a new planet ruled by the authoritarian Timekeeper. The game follows four new Vault Hunters as they become caught up in the growing conflict on the planet, with players able to build their characters around different skill trees and Action Skills. Like previous Borderlands games, Borderlands 4 revolves heavily around finding increasingly ridiculous weapons and combining gear, abilities, and character builds to take on enemies throughout the campaign.
Mordhau is a medieval multiplayer slasher built around massive battles, brutal melee combat, and a whole lot of things going wrong at once. Players create their own mercenary and can fight in battles featuring up to 64 players, with everything from traditional sword fights to cavalry charges, siege weapons, ranged combat, and even cooperative Horde mode. Mordhau also gives players plenty of control over their warrior, allowing weapons, armor, and even facial features to be customized.
One of the best games set on Mars, Surviving Mars: Relaunched puts players in charge of turning the surface into a place where humanity can actually survive. Colonies have to be carefully developed around limited resources, with players managing necessities such as water, oxygen, food, and electricity while expanding their domes and infrastructure. Surviving Mars: Relaunched also adds the Martian Assembly, giving colonies a way to establish laws, develop their own society, and eventually pursue independence from Earth.
F1 25 is Codemasters' official Formula 1 game for the 2025 season, combining traditional racing with several larger career-focused modes. The game includes an updated My Team mode, the latest chapter of Braking Point, and the full Formula 1 experience across its single-player and multiplayer offerings. F1 25 also has the 2026 Season Edition, which adds the 2026 Season Pack and allows players to continue into a 2026-focused career experience.
