Try 4 games Steam officially makes completely free until November 16—and keep progress if you buy

Four games in the promotion

The promotion’s four titles are Company of Heroes 3, Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core, IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad and Cities: Skylines 2. Players can access them without paying while the event is active.

Steam’s Free Weekend Promotion lets players sample games over the weekend. Those who choose to buy a title can keep the progress they made during the offer.

Strategy and city building

Cities: Skylines 2 is a city-management sequel. After a difficult launch, its development team has made improvements, and the game is now described as a strong example of its genre.

Company of Heroes 3 is a real-time strategy game set in the North African and Italian theaters during the Second World War. Reviews are mixed, though the game may appeal to players interested in the period.

Flight combat and caves

IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad is a combat flight simulator focused on the Second World War battle in Russia. Its developers continue to provide updates and additions. Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is in Early Access and is the second major spin-off from the game of the same name. It features procedurally generated caves and random roguelike upgrades, with players taking the role of dwarves.

Offer ends November 16

The four games are free to play on Steam until Monday, November 16. After the promotion ends, players will need to buy a game to continue playing. The event gives players a chance to try the titles before deciding whether to purchase them. The article identifies the weekend of November 14 as the promotion period.
