There are many great open-world survival games available, including popular titles like Enshrouded and classics such as Subnautica. However, with so many games to choose from and budgets getting tighter, it’s hard to know which ones are worth buying. Luckily, free weekend events let you play a game for a limited time before you commit to a purchase, giving you a risk-free way to see if it’s a good fit.

From May 14th to May 17th, the popular vampire survival game V Rising will be free to play. The game, which has a ‘Very Positive’ rating on Steam, officially launched in 2024 and continues to be a favorite among open-world survival fans. If you’ve been considering trying V Rising, this free weekend is a great chance to experience it without spending any money.

V Rising Fully Free on Steam for One Weekend, With Massive Discounts to Follow

Let’s quickly explain what V Rising is all about. It’s a survival RPG where you play as a vampire who’s just woken up after centuries of sleep. You’ll need to hunt for blood to get stronger and rebuild your castle. As a vampire, you’ll have special powers to help you hunt, fight other creatures, and expand your base. You can play alone or team up with friends online, and it works great on the Steam Deck!

From May 14th at 1 PM Eastern Time to May 18th at 1 PM Eastern Time, you can play V Rising for free! This gives you four full days to try out the entire game without spending any money. To access the free weekend, visit the V Rising page on Steam. You’ll find a green “Play Game” button at the top – just click it to download the game and add it to your Steam library. After installation, you can play V Rising like any other game you own on Steam.

For PlayStation 5 players, the free weekend for V Rising is only available on Steam. While V Rising is available on PS5, the free trial is currently exclusive to PC gamers. If you want to try it on PS5, you’ll need to purchase the game for $39.99 or have a PlayStation Plus Extra subscription, which includes the game at no extra cost.

If you use Steam, you can play V Rising for free until May 18th. After that, you’ll need to purchase the game to keep playing. This free weekend is a great way to try out the vampire survival experience and see if it’s for you. Plus, to mark the occasion and the upcoming game update, V Rising is 55% off on Steam until May 21st – a chance to own it at a reduced price.
