I use https://steamdb.info/upcoming/free/ for currently free games on Steam.
For games on other platforms there are a few user threads on Steam.
Personally i use this one ( its in German but easy to navigate even if you dont know the language).

Hmm ok ty for those options.

So there is nothing steam offers to show what games are currently offering a temporary free play time?

The 2 links didnt really help.
1] The DB one is for the future and not current.
2] And the Final link is in another language.

DB one covers all. The past, the current, and the future :fuhrer_unhappy:

Remember that playtime during a free weekend counts if you eventually buy the game but then want a refund.

Look up at the 'Starts' and 'Ends' column.

If something is listed as 'Starts: 7 days ago' and 'Ends: in 9 days', it is just another way to say that this game is currently, now, today, right very now, is free up to 9 days.

Cool ty.

That link has less options than the other one.
But atleast im narrowing down the tag's needed for search terms of things Steam isn't offering for its platform.
