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

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/09/2017 07:48 AM | source: | 14 comment(s)

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.

But how to add it to games library without installing it?

click "free install" and as soon as it pops up with where do you want to install just stop there

free game, why not, probably never going to play it

Played it for 20 mins, realised it wasn't for me - uninstalled it.

Feels okay to play, mechanics seem well planned and thought out, just not enjoyable.

when the game first came out, it was lots of fun - although rather challenging unless you cheesed the skill trees with friends for each specific heist. devs had a deal with their publisher: release four (i think?) DLCs on a timetable...well, the devs got a taste of microtransactions & basically went insane, releasing more & more ridiculous addons until the game eventually became unrecognizable.
