Steam Users Have Until May 11 to Play Open-World, Satisfactory-Like Game Completely Free of Charge

From now until May 11th at 10 am Pacific Time / 1 pm Eastern Time, Steam players can try the open-world game Foundry for free. After the free weekend, the game will be 30% off if you want to keep playing. Foundry is a highly-rated factory and automation simulation game on Steam.

While several Steam games are currently offering free weekends, Foundry really stands out. It has a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, with 80% of players loving its automation, building blocks similar to Minecraft, cooperative open-world gameplay, and overall creative possibilities. Many players also appreciate that it offers a satisfying experience somewhere between Satisfactory and Factorio. In contrast, The Midnight Walkers has received mostly negative reviews due to a lack of content and polish. However, if you’re interested in trying the new extraction shooter, it’s also free to play until May 11.
