Steam Adds Open-World Survival Game to Free-to-Keep Promotion Alongside Sports Trial
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Steam is currently offering the open-world survival game Breathedge to keep permanently until August 9, alongside a free trial of NBA 2K26 running through August 14, as originally detailed by Game Rant.
Digital storefronts are constantly competing for our attention, but Valve continues to make it easy for PC players to expand their libraries without spending a dime. As originally reported by Game Rant, Steam has launched a new promotion featuring the open-world survival crafting game Breathedge as a permanent addition to player libraries. For anyone looking for something fresh to jump into over the weekend, this giveaway is an easy win, blending exploration and resource management in a zero gravity setting.
The catch is that the permanent claim window is strictly time limited. Players have until August 9 at 12 pm CT to lock Breathedge into their accounts for good. Beyond the permanent freebie, Steam is also hosting a limited time free-to-play event for NBA 2K26, allowing sports fans to check out the title until August 14. Xbox users are getting in on that action too, making it a solid cross platform opportunity to squad up with friends without any upfront cost.
Free promotions like these remain one of the best ways for communities to rally around older or overlooked titles while giving casual players a low stakes way to test out heavy hitters like NBA 2K26. Whether you are clearing out your backlog or hunting for your next cooperative session with your regular group, these temporary drops are always worth keeping on your radar.
