A PC game that came out in 2023 is currently available for free on Steam for the next two days. You have until January 18th to claim it, and once you do, it’s yours to keep! Just make sure to download it before the deadline, as it will return to its regular price afterward. Steam Deck owners can play the game too, though it’s not officially “Verified” by Valve, it is listed as “Playable.”
A new free game, Initial Drift Online by RewindApp, is now available on Steam. It’s an online racing game with some massively multiplayer elements, letting you drive street cars on famous Japanese mountain roads. Early reports suggest it’s a surprisingly good game.
Steam User Reviews for New Free Game
Currently, Initial Drift Online has 792 user reviews – a good amount, showing it’s not a hastily made game. People have actually played it, and it generally receives positive feedback with a 79% approval rating. However, that rating is temporarily lower due to the game recently being offered for free. During this free period, the approval rating has dropped to 58%, which is typical for Steam games. Surprisingly, free giveaways usually lower review scores, not raise them.
One user review perfectly captures the feeling many have about Initial Drift Online: if you loved watching Initial D – staying up late shifting gears to the Eurobeat soundtrack and watching those classic, somewhat blurry Japanese mountain road videos – this game will immediately feel like coming home.
Many negative reviews mention problems with the game servers, likely caused by a surge of new players after it became free-to-play. However, not all reviews report these issues, suggesting that while the problem does occur, it’s not widespread.
