Experience Hideo Kojima’s stealth classic for free on Steam this weekend!

Steam is here to fill your weekend with a lineup of free game trials that will keep you entertained for days. The standout title is the Master Collection version of Metal Gear Solid, the iconic first 3D entry in the legendary stealth series. If that doesn’t pique your interest, there are also quirky multiplayer games, intense shooters, and even options for furry fans.

The Metal Gear Solid – Master Collection Version features not only Metal Gear Solid but also includes Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, and a host of VR and special missions. For those who enjoy diving deeper into the lore, the collection comes with screenplay books and master books for each title. These digital archives provide a comprehensive breakdown of every game’s events, character biographies, commentary, and even map layouts and Easter eggs. Back in 2023, it was noted that this extensive collection and its digital extras are worthy of a museum exhibit. Plus, it’s the best and only way to experience some of these classics on modern systems.

The game trial runs from July 24 to July 27 and is part of a larger discount event for the first three Metal Gear Solid games in Master Collection Volume 1. Additionally, Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2, which includes Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, is set to launch on August 27 — making it the perfect time to refine your cardboard box tactics.

The main storyline of MGS can be completed in about 11 hours, a perfect challenge for a weekend gaming session.

Other free trial games available on Steam for the weekend of July 24 include:

You can also snag the completely free-to-keep titles Yet Another Zombie Defense HD and The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu — Lost Explorers’ Swords Pack. The latter is a DLC for the “mostly positive” four-player co-op game from Ace Team, which just launched earlier this month.

A cozy Steam game has been battling pirates for the past couple of months.
