An indie game called The Lonely Helmet is set to be delisted from Steam by the end of July, but players who add it to their libraries before then will be able to keep it. Steam’s delisting process tends to take time to complete fully. But the game’s solo developer has already started it, leaving fans with a short window to claim it before it disappears entirely.
It’s important to note that The Lonely Helmet is not part of Steam’s free-to-keep promotions. In fact, the game has already been made free-to-play by its developer after originally launching as a paid title. However, since delisting on Steam typically does not remove games from users’ libraries, anyone who adds it in time will still be able to keep playing it as long as their account remains active.
Steam Users Can Claim Horror Game For Free Before It’s Delisted
Steam users have one last chance to claim a free 2024 horror game before it’s permanently delisted from the platform.
The Lonely Helmet Will Be Delisted Soon
According to developer Laim McKenzie, The Lonely Helmet started as a passion project during the pandemic. However, they have since lost the source code and are unable to update the game, so they have decided to delist it due to ongoing performance issues. They said, “I’ve started the delisting process, and the game should be delisted by the end of July. It’s already been delisted elsewhere on the internet, so Steam is the last place to get it before then.” As a result, this is the final chance for fans of retro-style 2D platformers to claim and keep The Lonely Helmet.
