Foundry: free weekend and discount for Steam users

Steam users have until May 11 to play the open-world automation game Foundry completely free. This gives players the chance to get familiar with the game’s various features at no cost. After that period, Foundry will be available with a 30% discount.

What is Foundry?

Foundry is an open-world automation game that lets players build, create, and automate. It offers a sandbox-style experience where players have the freedom to build their own factories using blocks reminiscent of the popular game Minecraft. The game emphasizes teamwork with open-world co-op multiplayer features, allowing up to four players to work together on their projects.

Player impressions and ratings

The game has a Very Positive rating on Steam, with 80% of players praising its various features and gameplay. The positive feedback highlights the complexity of the automation systems and the satisfaction of optimizing production lines. Foundry is often compared to other popular automation games such as Satisfactory and Factorio, while standing out for its creativity and freedom of play.

Details of the free weekend

• Period: available for free until May 11, 10:00 PT / 13:00 ET.

• Discount: after the free weekend, Foundry will be on sale for 30% off until May 14.

• Price after discount: the standard price of Foundry is $29.99, reduced to $20.99.

Alongside Foundry, The Midnight Walkers also has a similar free period. However, that game currently has a Mostly Negative review score due to a lack of content and polish. That makes Foundry the more appealing option for players looking for a solid automation game experience.

Players who enjoy automation, production networks, and building complex systems will find Foundry a valuable addition to their game library. The chance to try the game for free is an excellent opportunity to explore this co-op experience with friends.
