Valve Introduce Five Free-to-Play Games on Steam

Valve have introduced free-to-play (F2P) support on steam, and are launching the new initiative with five F2P titles. The games are:

• Spiral Knights
• Forsaken Worlds
• Champions Online: Free for All
• Global Agent: Free Agent
• Alliance of Valiant Arms

The games will be released as F2P “game of the day”, starting with Spiral Knights on Wednesday and concluding with Alliance of Valiant Arms on Sunday. The games all contain in-game micro transaction systems, but people who purchase the F2P game of the day will get exclusive in-game content for each game.

“The introduction of Free to Play games is another example of the constant evolution of Steam,” said Jason Holtman, director of business development at Valve. “Free to Play games offer new game genres and game experiences for customers, while offering developers and publishers new revenue opportunities and the ability to reach customers in areas of the world where the traditional packaged goods model is less popular than F2P.”

The only thing better than video games is free video games, so I’d be sure to check these potential treasures out – it’s not like you’ll be losing out on any money.
