From uber popular battle royale title Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout – which was a big hit with all of us at WGTC – to online multiplayer first-person shooters like Rainbow Six Siege and Star Wars Battlefront II, there’s bound to be a title on this list to keep you busy over the weekend. And let’s not forget the enjoyable Predator: Hunting Grounds, too, which is sure to satisfy fans of the iconic horror franchise.

Of course, you’ll have to act fast, as these offers are only available for a limited time. But if you’re looking for something to dig into, there’s certainly a wide selection and more than enough to satisfy your gaming needs.
