Steam‘s Free to Keep promotion has delivered once again, with another free game for users to add to their gaming libraries. The latest 100% free Steam title is Yet Another Zombie Defense HD, a 2017 tower defense zombie shooter with “Very Positive” reviews. However, this new giveaway is only available for a limited time, so those who want to try it out should pick it up as soon as possible.
Over the years, there have been a wide variety of titles given away in Steam’s Free to Keep promotion. The platform never announces exactly when to expect these promotions ahead of time, meaning gamers must keep an eye out for when the next one is available. They’re pretty easy to miss, but given the fact they don’t need to be installed immediately upon claiming, they’re perfect for gamers wanting to build up a significant Steam backlog.
Yet Another Zombie Defense HD is Free on Steam
Gamers on Steam can grab Yet Another Zombie Defense HD, which is officially 100% free for a limited time. The game is a top-down tower defense title where players build their base in the day, and defend it from the oncoming zombie hordes at night. It features zombie shooter elements, where each night it becomes increasingly difficult to defend the base. Online co-op allows up to four players to jump in at any given time across three game modes: Defense, Endless, and Deathmatch. There’s even Steam Workshop support, where gamers can download custom character models and maps to switch up the experience.
In the past, some have criticized Steam’s Free to Keep giveaways for the perceived quality of its games. It’s true that, when compared to a promotion like Epic Games Store’s free weekly titles, there are fewer AAA titles on offer here. But a game like Yet Another Zombie Defense HD goes against this idea. Since its release in 2017, the game has garnered “Very Positive” reviews among its player base, who praise the addictive gameplay loop combined with its co-op capabilities as reasons why this game is well worth giving a try.
Because Steam’s Free to Keep promotion isn’t particularly well advertised by the platform, it’s easy to forget about them before they disappear for good. That’s why those who want to pick up Yet Another Zombie Defense HD should add it to their Steam libraries as soon as possible. This particular giveaway is set to run until July 30 – that’s one whole week to ensure gamers grab this tower defense title completely free of charge.
According to the developer, Yet Another Zombie Defense HD‘s Free to Keep promotion on Steam celebrates the release date announcement of Yet Another Zombie Survivors, the newest title in the series. This game has been in Early Access since July 2023, and is now locked in for an August 20, 2026, release date. With that launch now less than a month away, it’s the perfect opportunity to try out the previous game in the series and see whether the formula clicks.
