FIFA 22, NARAKA, Descenders and 5 other titles are free to play on Steam over the weekend

As Steam gears up for the Next Fest in the upcoming week, the platform has made a number of titles, including FIFA 22, free to play over the weekend. The hook here is that the games are free to play only for the mentioned limited period of time and players won't get to keep them in their library forever.

From time to time, Steam provides exclusive offers like discounts and free-to-play weekends that infuse new excitement into the games. For this weekend, the platform has provided eight titles for players to try their hands at. This provides the players with an opportunity to experience those games before they decide if they want to buy them.

The latest iteration of the long-running football simulation series from EA, FIFA 22 is possibly the biggest title on this list. The cover athlete for this year is French footballer Kylian Mbappe. The official statement mentions:

"FIFA 22 is free to play between February 17 and February 21, 2022. Build your Ultimate Team now with dynamic UEFA Champions League Player Items in Road to the Final, express yourself in VOLTA FOOTBALL, or squad up with friends in Pro Clubs."

2) Descenders (Ends in 1 day)

An overwhelmingly-positive game on Steam that was released back in 2019 by RageSquid, Descenders brings procedurally-generated worlds for extreme downhill freeriding. The game is lauded for the experience it provides and the customization options available.

As Fatsack the Loot Goblin cheekily mentioned in their Steam review, "Don't download during the free weekend, it's a trap. You'll feel compelled to spend ten bucks."

This is a unique entry on the list and something that players who want to dabble in creating a game can enjoy. The official description of RPG Maker MZ states:

8) Killer in the Cabin (Ends in 1 day)

The game is available as an Early Access Game on Steam. The official description of the title states:

"You find yourself among a group of survivors of a bus crash in the Norwegian mountains. Rescue is several days away, so to make it out alive, you and the other players have to cooperate in finding shelter, food and water. But one of you is a killer."

The multiplayer game is about keeping one's wit about and surviving, a trope recently made famous by Among Us. Although the game has potential, as reviewers have noted on Steam, there are a number of bugs that developers need to fix before properly launching the game.
