Steam Gives Away $30 Game From 2024 for Free, But Offer Only Lasts 24 Hours

Islands of Insight is free on Steam for a single day.

A popular game on Steam that isn't even six months old is now completely free to own for the next 24 hours. Released back in February, Islands of Insight is a puzzle title from Lunarch Studios and Behaviour Interactive that has since achieved a "Very Positive" rating from those on Steam who have played it. Now, in the wake of a substantial new update for the game going live, Islands of Insight has received a stellar promotion that shouldn't be missed. 

To celebrate the release of its new offline mode, Islands of Insight has been made available to own in perpetuity at no cost. This deal starts today, June 26th, and will extend until June 27th at 1:00 pm ET. After that time, Islands of Insight should return to retailing for $29.99, which is the normal price for its Standard Edition. As mentioned, this offer is particularly staggering given that the game just released a mere four months ago. Deals of this nature virtually never happen on Steam, so act quickly if you want to take advantage of it for yourself. 

If there is one potential downside to Islands of Insight being free, it's that the title isn't compatible with Steam Deck platforms. At the time of this writing, Islands of Insight is only available to play on Windows PC. Still, the list of games on Steam that are functional with Steam Deck is constantly growing, which means that it might join that expanding catalog in the months ahead. As such, even if you only play games on Steam Deck, it's still worth adding Islands of Insight to your library now in the hope that it soon becomes accessible on the handheld.
