Weekend tech deals rarely combine a free Steam game, an Xbox bundle for AU$4.49 and a deal on The C64 Micro Computer in one scroll. We checked this week’s OzBargain listings and the Steam store on Friday, 9 October 2026. Most picks are digital; the C64 is an Australian import deal, so check local availability and the final checkout price before buying.
Weekend tech deals: five deal picks worth checking
1. Pony Island is free on Steam
The strange, self-aware puzzle game Pony Island is currently free to claim on Steam; its regular US price is US$4.99. It is a compact indie puzzle game that starts as a broken arcade machine and then gleefully messes with the rules. OzBargain lists the offer cutoff as 13 October at 4 a.m. (timezone not stated); check Steam’s local store page for your region’s deadline. Source: OzBargain deal listing.
2. Two Amazon Prime games arrive today
Prime members can claim Conarium and WarBreeds from Amazon Luna’s games page as GOG codes from 9 October. The monthly schedule also lists more titles later in October, including Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong on 16 October. This is a perk attached to an active Prime membership, not a standalone freebie; redeem the codes and check the supported storefront before counting them as added to your library.

3. The Big Con is free on Android through Epic
Epic’s current mobile giveaway is The Big Con, a comic caper about a teenager trying to save her family’s video store. It is an Android offer claimed through the Epic Games app, not the regular PC storefront. The listing runs through 16 October, but mobile availability can vary by country and device. Check Epic’s mobile store · Deal details via OzBargain.
4. Metro Saga bundle: AU$4.49 for three games
The Australian Xbox Store listing has the Metro Saga Bundle at AU$4.49, down from AU$89.95. It includes Metro 2033 Redux, Metro: Last Light Redux and Metro Exodus Gold Edition—a substantial single-player collection for less than a coffee. Microsoft’s Australian catalog lists that price through 13 October at 23:59 UTC. The offer is region-limited; the cutoff shown by your local Xbox Store may differ.

5. The C64 Micro Computer is AU$217.43 delivered
For a hardware pick, OzBargain users flagged the full-keyboard C64 Micro Computer at AU$217.43 delivered through Amazon Australia, supplied from Amazon UK. It includes 64 classic games and is more than a mini console: the listing describes a working computer with a real keyboard. Treat this as an import deal—check delivery, warranty and seller details on the product page before ordering. View the Amazon Australia listing · Deal details via OzBargain.
What to claim first—and what to skip
Start with Pony Island if you want a no-cost PC game, then check the Amazon offers if you already pay for Prime. The Metro bundle is the strongest paid bargain here, but only at the Australian price shown. The C64 is a niche nostalgia buy, not an essential upgrade. Digital giveaways can be region-locked or withdrawn early, so confirm the final price and claim deadline in the official store before you commit.
Looking for more free-game picks? Read our previous free-games roundup, then browse the DuskFlick deals hub for current partner offers. For the separate privacy question of gaming or shopping on public Wi-Fi, our VPN comparison includes affiliate links; DuskFlick may earn a commission if you buy through one. A VPN can protect the connection, but it won’t make a game cheaper, bypass a store’s region rules or lower your ping.
Bottom line: Claim the free Steam game before its listed deadline, check the Prime and Epic offers against your account’s region, and grab the Metro bundle only if your Xbox store shows the same AU$4.49 price. Prices and stock were checked on 9 October 2026 and may change.
