Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets.

The Humble Store"s Choice program refreshed to offer its October titles earlier this week, and it touts Atomic Heart and V Rising as headliners.

The full bundle carries Atomic Heart, V Rising, System Shock, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, Cryptmaster, Shogun Showdown, Hotel Renovator, and Caravan SandWitch.

You"ll have to pay $15 to grab all eight games for this Choice bundle. The month-long bundle will come to an end on November 4, giving you plenty of time to decide on whether you want it.

A regular new bundle landed from Humble this week too, and this one is named Cosmic Mysteries and Noir Realities.

The collection begins with Genesis Noir and Tales of the Neon Sea for $3. This is followed by Disco Elysium - The Final Cut and Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between in the second tier for $6. The final tier will cost you $10, adding on four more games. These are Chicken Police Paint it Red, Strangeland, Norco, and The Excavation of Hob"s Barrow.

The bundle has three weeks on its counter before it expires.

The Epic Games Store"s freebie of the week was Gravity Circuit this time, coming from developer Domesticated Ant Games.

Released in 2023, the title is an homage to retro platformers, featuring fluid movement abilities and melee-focused combat instead of the standard projectile-based attacks. Players can punch, grapple, and send enemies crashing into other foes with their combat skills, with more upgrades being found throughout the 12-stage campaign.

The Gravity Circuit giveaway on the Epic Games Store is live until October 16. Amnesia: The Bunker and Samrost 3 will become the latest freebies next week.

Moving on, anyone looking for a relaxing session of cleaning can jump into PowerWash Simulator for free over the weekend. The title offers cooperative multiplayer as well.
