Call of Duty: Ghosts is gearing up for its next double XP weekend across all of the game's platforms. But to help boost enlistment numbers for the upcoming battle on PC, Activision and Infinity Ward are offering up a free weekend on Steam through Sunday at 1:00PM PST.

Even without the game's season pass, Ghosts features a number of multiplayer modes, including Heavy Duty and Gun Game, which were both recently patched in.

Ghosts has also received a new update that increases Create-a-Soldier loadout slots to 10, adds campaign characters to multiplayer, and lets players take control of series hero Captain John Price and his personal customization pack. Other customization options will be included, so you could riddle the enemy with bullets from a rifle painted with space cats.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
