Steam Offers Two Free Games for a Limited Time This Weekend
Steam users have a limited opportunity to try two games for free this weekend as part of the platform’s latest promotional event. The offer runs until May 11, giving players roughly 24 hours to download and experience both titles before the free access period expires.
The first featured game is FOUNDRY, a factory-building and automation simulator developed by Channel 3 Entertainment and published by Paradox Interactive. Players gather resources, research technologies, and construct increasingly advanced robotic production systems while optimizing efficiency across massive industrial operations.
Two Different Free Experiences on Steam
FOUNDRY appeals strongly to players who enjoy strategy, management, and automation gameplay. The game encourages players to streamline production chains and continuously improve factory performance through careful planning and resource management.
The second free title available this weekend is The Midnight Walkers, a hardcore zombie-themed extraction shooter featuring survival mechanics. Players craft weapons, maintain hideouts, gather resources, and fight through dangerous environments while attempting to survive against both infected enemies and hostile threats.
Steam Continues Expanding Free Weekend Promotions
Although player reviews for The Midnight Walkers remain mixed, Steam’s free weekend promotions allow users to test games without financial risk. Meanwhile, players who enjoy FOUNDRY can currently purchase the game at a discounted price following the trial period.
Steam regularly rotates free game promotions throughout the year, giving players opportunities to discover new titles across multiple genres. These events continue helping smaller and mid-sized games reach larger audiences while offering players new experiences at no additional cost.
