Epic Games Store has two free games this week
Luftrausers and Astral Ascent are the latest weekly giveaways.
Luftrausers is an arcade style aerial combat game built around experimental aircraft and large waves of enemies. It includes aircraft customization and more than 100 missions.
Astral Ascent takes a different approach with fast 2D roguelite combat and boss focused encounters.
Both games remain free until September 17. After that, Epic plans to replace them with Mindcop and Shogun Showdown.
Humble Bundle adds three new collections
Humble's latest offers cover dungeon games, deckbuilders and roguelikes.
Crawling Through The Dungeons costs $14 and includes games such as The Bard's Tale Trilogy, Crawl, Astalon: Tears of the Earth and Dungeon Tycoon.
Decked Out Deckbuilders costs $12 and includes Monster Train, Cultist Simulator, Tainted Grail: Conquest, Wingspan and Cross Blitz.
The $13 Run it Back collection focuses on roguelikes, with titles including Dome Keeper, Rabbit and Steel, Chrono Ark, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die and OTXO.
These bundles may be useful if you want several games from the same genre rather than buying individual titles during separate sales.
Several games are free to try for the weekend
A number of temporary free play events are also active.
Surviving Mars: Relaunched is available for city building fans, while Borderlands 4 and Crime Boss: Rockay City provide cooperative shooting options.
F1 25 is also running a free weekend, while Mordhau is available for players interested in melee focused multiplayer combat.
These trials are separate from permanent giveaways, so access ends once their respective free periods finish.
