Grab the top free multiplayer pirate game now available on Steam!

Steam is offering six premium games for free this weekend, with two of them available to keep permanently if you grab them in time. Among the notable titles is Sea of Thieves, alongside several smaller gems worth checking out. Here’s a rundown of what’s available.

Sea of Thieves has navigated the turbulent seas of gaming since its launch in 2018, thriving where many live service games have faltered. With a wealth of updates and expansions enhancing its pirate adventures and open-world exploration, it boasts an impressive 88% user score on Steam from nearly 150,000 reviews. Players can embark on thrilling pirate quests, uncover hidden treasures, and engage in battles against other players. It’s free to play until September 21 at 1 p.m. local time and currently has a 65% discount.

Diablo 4 stands out as one of the major titles this weekend. This 2023 looter RPG from Blizzard typically retails for $49.99, but players can dive in and play until they reach level 30 for free. Like its predecessors, this installment is an isometric action RPG where players gather loot by defeating monsters. It holds a Mostly Positive rating on Steam, with 73% of reviews being favorable. Diablo 4 is free to play until September 21 at 1 p.m. local time and is 75% off until September 24.

In addition to the free trials, two games are available to keep if redeemed soon. One of these is Crystal Crisis, a competitive puzzle game featuring iconic characters like Isaac from The Binding of Isaac and Quote from Cave Story. It has an 81% user score on Steam and usually costs $19.99. You can claim it for free until September 21 at 11:59 p.m. local time.

Jump Space is another early-access co-op game where one to four players face off against sci-fi challenges in deep space. It includes ship combat, exploration on foot, and jetpacks, and currently holds an 87% user score on Steam, with a full price of $19.99. However, it does have a notable caveat: some of its voice acting is generated by AI. It’s free to play until September 21 at 1 p.m. local time.

Last Flag is a five-on-five hero shooter where one team hides their flag while the other attempts to steal it. Interestingly, the studio behind it, Night Street, is owned by Dan Reynolds, the lead singer of Imagine Dragons. Released earlier this year, it received a lukewarm reception, with a peak of only 12 players in a 24-hour period according to SteamDB. This free weekend is a great opportunity to give it a shot, as it’s available until September 21 at 1 p.m. local time.

Lastly, Space Menace is a space-themed real-time strategy game that players can also keep. Released in 2022, it struggled to gain popularity, with feedback describing its gameplay as shallow and repetitive, resulting in a 57% user rating on Steam. Normally priced at $6.99, it’s free to keep until September 23 at 10 a.m.
