The Finals, the highly-destructible FPS from ex-Battlefield devs, surprise launched at The Game Awards last night. The shooter had just recently ended a very successful open beta that attracted hundreds of thousands of players, but many (myself included) wondered if Embark Studios still planned to get the game out before the end of 2023. Now it's here, and launch day is going well: The Finals is one of the most-played games on Steam right now, peaking at over 200,000 concurrent players on PC alone.
Diablo 4 Free on Steam For a Week
22.11.2023 - 12:27 / ign.com / Ryan Dinsdale
Blizzard Entertainment has made its action role-playing game Diablo 4 free-to-play on Steam for a week.
Steam users can download and trial the game until November 28 at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK. Diablo 4 launched first in June on PC via Blizzard's own Battle.net, where it remains a premium game. It's also on PlayStation and Xbox.
The free-to play period lets users play Diablo 4 up to level 20, which equates to around eight hours of gameplay. Blizzard will likely be hoping those who get there will be tempted by the game's 40% off price-tag in the Steam Autumn Sale, which also ends November 28.
Those sales would only add to the already record-breaking popularity of Diablo 4, which is Blizzard's fastest-selling game of all time with more than 10 million players. However, Diablo 4 has suffered some ups and downs due to controversial updates and aggressive monetisation. Blizzard has pushed on and continues to regularly update Diablo 4 with patches and new content via seasons. Diablo 4's first expansion, called Vessel of Hatred, is due out late 2024.
In our 9/10 review of the game, IGN said: "Diablo 4 is a stunning sequel with near perfect endgame and progression design that makes it absolutely excruciating to put down."

Furi, one of the best action games of all time, got a free demake last week as a "gift" to fans
Furi, indie studio The Game Bakers' action shoot-'em-up, made a rainbow-shaded splash when it released in 2016. It lured players in by being small, but as mighty as a redwood trunk, offering up boss fights, neon projectiles, and quick sword combos in its packed six-ish hour runtime. But despite its spectacle, Furi has ducked under the radar over the years. If you haven't yet checked it out, the '90s-style demake that The Game Bakers just released for free on Steam is a great place to start.
