Play This Game for Free on Steam This Weekend


Steam’s weekend sales are live, and that means you can also jump in on its free weekend deal. This time it’s space MMO Eve Online, and you’ll be able to play the full game for 14 days after starting the free trial, which is only available this weekend.

Eve Online normally requires a subscription to play, which costs $15 for 30 days–you can pick up multiple months at a discount if purchased all at once. You can take a look at the game in the video and image gallery below.

The free weekend deal ends at 1 PM PT on Sunday, May 8. However, you’ll be able to play for 14 days from starting the trial.

Steam currently offers a 75 percent discount on the Core Starter Pack, which brings the price down to $5, while a 50 percent discount on the Premium Edition lowers its price to $25. Both of these deals last until May 9.
