SteamDB: Dying Light: The Beast - Discharge Weapon Pack possibly free in September 2026

The DLC normally costs $4.99 and, according to the listing, includes the Discharge Machete and the VNC Weapon Charm.

SteamDB also lists three other possible freebies for the same month: MXGP 26 - Scrubdesignz Liveries Gear, Gear.Club Unlimited 3 Gear.Club Signature Pack, and Hunting Simulator 3 - Classic American Hunter Pack.

What happened

SteamDB has added a new listing to its Free to Keep overview for Dying Light: The Beast - Discharge Weapon Pack. The tracking page points to a possible free claim promotion in September 2026, but the source provided does not mention an exact day. The notice comes from SteamDB’s overview of upcoming promotions rather than a separate official Steam announcement with a confirmed release date. The source does say the promotion is expected in September 2026, but leaves the exact timing open.

According to the listing, the pack has a normal price of $4.99. The listed contents are the Discharge Machete and the VNC Weapon Charm, both tied to Techland’s Dying Light: The Beast. That makes it a small DLC pack with one weapon and one cosmetic item, as described in the source. The price and contents are attributed directly to SteamDB in the provided source and should therefore be treated as reported details for now.

Alongside this DLC, SteamDB also lists three other items for September 2026: MXGP 26 - Scrubdesignz Liveries Gear, Gear.Club Unlimited 3 Gear.Club Signature Pack, and Hunting Simulator 3 - Classic American Hunter Pack. The source does not provide confirmed release dates for those three entries and mentions them only as additional Free to Keep signals in the same overview. That means the September 2026 list currently contains four possible freebies, but only the SteamDB listing itself is presented in the source as a concrete indication.

Background

Steam Free to Keep is a promotion format where an item can be claimed for free for a limited time and then kept permanently. In this case, the information comes from SteamDB’s tracking of upcoming promotions, not from a separate official Steam announcement with an exact date. The provided source therefore emphasizes that this is a signal from an overview, not a final confirmation of a live promotion on a specific day.

The source mentions Crystal Crisis as an example of a promotion that only became visible once the giveaway went live. That makes the September listing for Dying Light: The Beast, for now, a signal from an overview rather than a definitive Steam confirmation. The example is used in the source to show that some Free to Keep promotions only appear at the moment they go live, but the article does not say that applies to every future giveaway. As a result, the status of the September listing remains dependent on further confirmation from Steam or the publisher.

The listing fits a broader pattern in which SteamDB groups multiple upcoming promotions together. In the same month, Dying Light: The Beast appears alongside MXGP 26, Gear.Club Unlimited 3, and Hunting Simulator 3 in the overview. The source gives no extra details about availability, duration, or regional restrictions for those three items. It also does not mention an exact end date, platform change, or additional conditions for the Discharge Weapon Pack beyond the Free to Keep listing and the stated $4.99 price.
