Steam is offering a 200-player World War I shooter and a tactical mech RPG as free-to-play titles for a limited time.
The short version
- These promotions can be a good excuse to sample a lesser-known game you might otherwise overlook, or convince a few friends to dedicate a weekend to a new multiplayer experience.
- Two very different games with positive reviews are currently getting the free-to-play treatment, and you have until Aug.
- Neither is free to keep, so access disappears once the promotional period ends, though both games are also discounted for anyone who decides to stick around.
What happened
The free weekend arrives alongside the game's new US Expeditionary Forces update, which adds the United States to the conflict along with new maps, uniforms, weapons, vehicles, and a first-person perspective. The other free-to-play game is Front Mission 3: Remake , a turn-based tactical RPG built around battles between heavily customizable mechs known as Wanzers.
Why it matters
Released on Steam in January, it's a modern remake of the 1999 PlayStation game, with updated graphics and animations, reorchestrated music, and a new quick combat mode.
