Steam Makes Popular Game Free to Download for 24 Hours

A popular game has been made free over on Steam courtesy of the developer and publisher of this game. The game is Beholder, and the catch is there’s a limited offer to capitalize on this offer. More specifically, Steam users have less than 24 hours to download the game, as it will return to its normal price of $10 tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. ET. That said, once downloaded, the game is yours to keep and play as little or as much as you want.

Beholder is a strategy game that debuted back in 2016 via developer Warm Lamp Games and publisher Alawar Premium. While the game didn’t light the world on fire critically when it was released, it has sold appreciably. Meanwhile, Steam users specifically seem to like it, with 91 percent of 18,196 user reviews reviewing the game positively, giving it a “Very Positive” Steam User Review rating.
