In an intriguing development for gamers, two PC titles from 2024 have been made available for free on Steam for a limited time. However, Steam Deck users may find themselves at a slight disadvantage, as one game is only marked as “Playable” while the other’s compatibility status remains “Unknown.” Despite this, both games are relatively modest releases from the previous year, meaning that Steam Deck users are not missing out on any major blockbusters. Notably, one of these titles has garnered impressive user review scores.
<h2 class="wp-block-savage-platform-primis-videoheading”>Soulbound: A Rising Star
The standout title among the two is undoubtedly Soulbound, developed by Schmoovin Studios and published by Dink. Launched on January 21, 2024, this debut game has achieved an impressive 89% approval rating on Steam, making it the more celebrated of the pair. For Steam Deck users, it is reassuring to note that Soulbound is categorized as “Playable.”
This free giveaway holds particular significance, as Soulbound is set to be removed from Steam on June 30, 2025. Originally a paid title, it is now available for free during its final month on the platform. Schmoovin Studios has hinted that this is merely the beginning for Soulbound, with plans for an expanded and premium experience on the horizon.
The game itself is described as a 2D PvP platformer, where players engage in a unique duel: one takes on the role of a ninja racing against the clock, while the other embodies a ghost attempting to possess enemies to thwart the ninja’s progress.
<h2 class="wp-block-savage-platform-primis-videoheading”>Holy Clash Cards: A Different Flavor
The second title, Holy Clash Cards, comes from Mttsus and Randomkey Inc, having been released on May 22, 2024. Unlike Soulbound, this game is not marked as “Playable” on the Steam Deck, with its compatibility status remaining uncertain. Additionally, it has not received favorable reviews, currently holding a “Mostly Negative” rating.
Holy Clash Cards is positioned as a strategy and deck-building game that immerses players in an epic conflict between righteousness and chaos. Each decision made by players influences the fate of their faith and the destiny of their honorable army. While Soulbound will be free throughout June, Holy Clash Cards will only be available at no cost until June 9.
While neither of these titles may be considered groundbreaking, it is worth noting that free games on Steam are often less prominent, as significant titles rarely transition to a no-cost model. For those seeking noteworthy free content, Borderlands 2 is currently available, along with a 2020 Xbox game and a dark RPG from 2022.
