Disarm the bomb and/or terrorise the globe for free this weekend in Counter-Strike: GO

If you’re a regular user of Steam you may have noticed that they do free weekends from time to time. As of right now, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is free to play until Sunday afternoon. If you don’t already have CS:GO, then we’re giving you a direct order to go play it.

The free weekend offers you access to all of GO’s game types, from the classic bomb defusal to the more arcade-like Arms Race and Demolition. They’re all phenomenally great games, but I’d head straight for Arms Race for a frantic bit of fun.

Should you realise you’ve been missing out on one of the best shooters of recent times during the weekend, you’ll be pleased to know you can pick it up for keepsies for 50% off the regular price tag between now and Monday 10am PDT.
