PC gamers have plenty of ways to pick up free games, but some giveaways require a little more attention than simply opening Steam or the Epic Games Store on a Thursday. Epic Games Store has its own weekly giveaways, Steam occasionally offers free-to-keep games or free weekend games, and other promotions can appear with specific claim windows that are easy to miss. Another one of those giveaways is coming in October, giving PC gamers a chance to add a multiplayer game to their libraries for free.
This particular promotion is being hosted through the Legion Gaming Community’s Game Key Drops, which periodically gives away PC games through limited-time events. The upcoming giveaway will begin at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET on October 14, lasting until Steam keys run out, and players will need a few accounts ready before it starts. A Legion Gaming Community account, an unlimited Steam account, and a Twitch account are required to participate, but once those are all interconnected, it’s pretty smooth sailing from there.
PC Gamers Can Snag Buissons Completely Free of Charge
The game in question is Buissons, a 2021 multiplayer hide-and-seek game where players take control of bushes and attempt to outsmart their friends. The game supports up to four players, with the main idea revolving around moving at night while using the daytime to observe opponents and set traps using the environment. The result is a deliberately silly game built around hiding, watching other players, and trying to catch them off guard.
Find the odd one out before the timer hits zero.
The Legion Gaming Community event will begin at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET on October 14, at which point a Gleam widget will appear on the event page (listed above). Players will need to complete Steam and Twitch account verification through Gleam before linking their Legion Gaming Community account. Once the required steps are completed, a key voucher should appear, which can then be redeemed through Gamesplanet for a Steam key. Lenovo recommends having cookies enabled and being logged into Gamesplanet ahead of time to make the process smoother.
As with other Legion Gaming Community Key Drops, players should not necessarily expect the process to work like a standard Steam giveaway. The event uses a queue and requires several account verification steps before the voucher can be claimed, meaning being ready when the event begins could be important. The Buissons giveaway is listed as a global event, so players in eligible regions can participate when the promotion goes live. Sometimes they go fast, sometimes they linger for a while, but once the keys are gone, they are gone.
Buissons is just one example of the free games that can show up outside the usual Steam and Epic Games Store promotions. These Key Drop events are another option for PC gamers who are willing to watch for specific start times, and the October 14 event gives players another opportunity to expand their Steam libraries without paying for another game. Since the promotion begins at a specific time and involves a queue, having the necessary accounts prepared beforehand should make the free Buissons claim considerably easier.
