Steam users that want to get a free co-op sci-fi game have until April 16 to do so. Steam free game giveaways happen on a regular basis, though they are hard to predict. Whereas Steam competitor Epic Games Store gives away new free games every Thursday, the Steam free game giveaways are much more random.
Most of the time, the free Steam games are titles that usually cost money but are being given away at no cost for a limited time to promote something, like a sale for the publisher’s other games or a sequel announcement. And though it doesn’t happen often, there have been instances where formerly premium games were made free on Steam forever. In the latest case, the opposite is true. A game that is currently free on Steam is soon going to transition to being a premium title, but anyone that adds it to their library before then will get to keep it without ever paying a dime.
Best Co-Op Games On Steam To Play Right Now
From online multiplayer titles to local masterpieces, Steam has plenty of fantastic co-op games that should be played in 2026.
eWorlds is Free on Steam for a Limited Time
Until April 16, eWorlds is free on Steam. Anyone that claims eWorlds by then will get to keep it forever, but from that point forward, access to the game will cost $3.99. According to developer GGTech Studios, the shift in the game’s monetization model is to help pay for its multiplayer servers. For those unfamiliar with the game, eWorlds is a sci-fi 3D platformer with co-op support, and so the servers are necessary for players to enjoy the game with friends.
Whenever it comes to free Steam games, there are some that are a bit more cautious about the titles they claim. Certain Steam users worry about a low-quality game taking up space in their library, and so there are those that don’t even bother claiming freebies when they become available. As far as eWorlds goes, it seems to be fairly well-received. The Steam reviews for eWorlds place it at a Very Positive overall rating and a Mostly Positive recent rating. It seems like a safe bet for 3D platformer fans, especially if they dig the game’s cartoony sci-fi aesthetic and want something to play with friends.
The big complaint in the Steam reviews is how long eWorlds takes to beat. According to the reviews, Steam users can expect to 100% complete the game within five hours. That might be rough for those that pay for the game, but it’s not a big deal for those that get it for free. Five hours of entertainment at no cost is not a bad deal, and it’s one that anyone interested in eWorlds should take advantage of while they still have the chance. Remember, eWorlds is only free until April 16, at which point it will cost $3.99.

If you happen to miss eWorlds‘ free availability window, $3.99 isn’t all that expensive, though it would obviously be preferable to get it completely free of charge. In the meantime, there will likely be a variety of other Steam games given away for free throughout April and beyond, so fans should keep an eye out.
