Starship Troopers: Extermination is offering a free weekend on Steam, ideal for both Helldivers 2 fans and new players interested in the Bug-blasting FPS. Initially launched in Early Access in 2023, it had its full release in October 2024 and is usually available for $29.99 on Steam, while the console versions are priced at $49.99.

For those considering a purchase but unsure about sticking with it, developer Offworld is hosting a ‘Free Weekend’ part of its 10th Anniversary Sale, running from July 31 to August 3 at 10:00 AM PST. Players can enjoy a 50% discount after the free weekend, reducing the game’s price to $14.99.

Players can join the cooperative multiplayer mode, which supports 16-player gameplay as opposed to the four-player setup in Helldivers 2, offering a different strategic experience while battling swarms of Bugs. The game has been described as being faithful to the Starship Troopers franchise, further enhancing its appeal to fans.
