Steam Free Weekend Lineup Includes Last Year's Most Notorious Disaster MindsEye
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Steam's latest free weekend features three games, highlighted by the notorious 2025 release MindsEye alongside multiplayer favorite Super Battle Golf and space survival sandbox Empyrion Galactic Survival.
Valve is offering another weekend of complimentary game access on Steam, and the headlining title is a fascinating piece of interactive history. According to a recent report by Polygon, Build a Rocket Boy's ambitious third person shooter MindsEye is currently free to play. The game arrives with plenty of baggage after a disastrous 2025 launch that sparked studio layoffs, bizarre corporate espionage allegations, and a messy DLC rollout. Despite that turbulent backstory, curious players can now sample the campaign for free, battling through the fictional city of Redrock before unlocking the Arcadia creation suite.
For players looking for something a bit more stable, the weekend lineup also features two well-received multiplayer titles. Super Battle Golf brings chaotic eight player action to the green, letting participants sabotage opponents with everything from flintlocks to explosives across twenty seven courses. The title currently boasts strong community support on Steam and sits at a temporary thirty percent discount for anyone who wants to keep playing after the weekend wraps up.
Space survival fans also have a reason to log onto Steam over the next few days. Empyrion Galactic Survival is available to test, offering sandbox exploration, base building, and hostile alien encounters reminiscent of No Man's Sky. With thousands of community mods and a steep sixty percent discount bringing the price down to $7.99, it is an easy entry point for players looking for a sprawling interstellar sandbox to sink some hours into this weekend.
