Payday 2 is Free to Own on Steam (for a Limited Time)

Grab it while its hot - Payday 2 is available for free on Steam, permanently linked to your Steam account. The first 5 million keys claimed on Steam will be free. There is an actual time-limit however, as the offer is expiring on June 21 whether all 5 million keys are claimed or not.

The free game applies is the base game, and keep in mind that there are like almost 50 DLCs available for Payday 2. Now those are all bundled into one package with the base game called “Ultimate Edition”.

Existing owners of the game will be able to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition, with varying price options depending on their setup. All DLCs in the store are not available for download anymore so the only way to grab them is by getting the Ultimate Edition. Before that, all DLCs are actually available for 85% off leading up to the Ultimate Edition event. So If you’ve become interested in the bank-robbing first-person style, head on over to the Payday 2 Steam page to claim your own copy of the game.

Thank you, mate. I like first and third person shooters, but I didn't know the game. I saw some gameplay videos on YouTube and got it. The fact it's free doesn't mean I should have it on my SSD. But as it seems this one worth it... Right?

I've heard about this game many times but never really looked into it. I'm glad it has Linux support. From what I recall from Phoronix, it runs pretty well on Linux.
