Steam Makes Zombie Game Free for Everyone for Limited Time

by

The zombie game available on Steam is currently free for all PC users until July 15th. This game can also be played on the Steam Deck, but it hasn’t been fully tested yet by Valve. As a result, it’s labeled as “Playable” rather than “Verified” on the Steam Deck, which means that you, as the owner of a Steam Deck, might need to put in some extra work and configuration for the game to run smoothly. This is still better than being listed as “Unknown” or “Unsupported.

Speaking of the free Steam game, it goes by the name “Ultimate Zombie Defense,” developed by Terror Dog Studio. This was their inaugural release back in 2020. Following its launch, the developer has added several expansions to the game, starting with The Carnival Map in 2021, followed by Diamond Hands: To the Moon and Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends in 2022. Most recently, they released a sequel to the original game titled “Ultimate Zombie Defense 2” in 2024.

Based on feedback from Steam users, the $5 zombie game on Steam is generally well-received. With over 1,361 reviews, it has been given a “Very Positive” rating, which is the second highest possible rating on Steam. This high evaluation is due to its impressive 86% approval rating.

Ultimate Zombie Defense is a cooperative survival horror game where you play in a top-down perspective, set amidst the suburbs of a now-chaotic European city. The city and its surrounding 250km area have been quarantined due to a zombie outbreak, but all efforts to contain it have failed. However, there’s hope yet—you and your team are special military operatives who’ve been dropped into this infected zone with a single objective: Find and eliminate the source of the infection. So, let’s get moving, soldier!

The leading user review for this free Steam game states, “This game is underestimated but truly excellent.” It’s well-constructed and seamlessly moves from killing zombies to setting up defenses. As you progress, it gets more challenging, and it’s fun whether you play alone or with a team! I’d rate it 8.5 out of 10 and heartily recommend it.

The Steam offer for the PC game ends on July 15. If you claim the game during this timeframe, you can keep it forever at no cost. Afterward, the game will return to its regular price.
