Deep Silver and 4A Games via Steam have made a popular AAA game 100 percent free for a very limited time. More specifically, from now until March 15, all Steam users can download one of the best games of 2010: Metro 2033, the first game in the three-game Subway series. The most recent release in the Subway series is Metro Exodus, which came back in 2019, and there would be none Metro Exodus as Metro 2033 didn’t cement itself as a cult classic in 2010.
After 1:00 PM EST on March 15, the game will return to normal price. Further, while the game is available on other platforms, only the PC version (via Steam) has been made for free, at least for now. On Steam, the game has a “Very Positive” user review score, with 92 percent of players rating the game positively on more than 16,500 reviews.
Set in the shattered metro of a post-apocalyptic Moscow, Metro 2033 is a story of intensive underground survival where the fate of humanity is in your hands, “says an official pitch of the game.” In 2013, the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, wiping out almost all of humanity and turning the Earth’s surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new dark age. The year is 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their beleaguered Metro Station-Cities fight for survival, with each other and the mutant horrors that await outside. You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but grew up underground. Having never ventured beyond the boundaries of your metro station and city, a fateful event leads to a desperate mission to the heart of the metro network to warn the remnants of humanity of a terrible threat. Your journey takes you from the forgotten catacombs beneath the metro to the desolate wasteland above, where your actions will determine the fate of humanity. “
