' "Goodbye micropayments." Tomorrow, Steam will give you a free, complete Warhammer 40K game if you've played it in the last year. 

 

Speed Freeks, the "Mario Kart of Warhammer 40,000," leaves Early Access on May 22, becoming a paid game.

 

Just days after its release of version 1.0, one of the craziest games in the Warhammer 40,000 universe has surprised its fans with an unexpected change of direction. After several months as a free game in early access, the project has decided to shift towards a more classic model. However, although Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks will now be a paid game , the Caged Element team is giving it a twist: no more microtransactions .

 

Speed Freeks, the multiplayer driving shooter starring the orcs of Games Workshop's universe, will definitively abandon the free-to-play model on May 22nd , the date of its official launch on Steam. From then on, the title will cost 16 euros and include all its content without the need for microtransactions. The developers have also confirmed that the internal store will be removed for new players, although those who have accumulated the Teef virtual currency will still be able to spend it for a year.

 

Those of you who have played so far will get free Speed Freeks.

 

The good news is that those who participated in the game's early stages—whether during Early Access or its free trials—will receive the full version at no additional cost. It's worth mentioning that the game is no longer available for purchase if you didn't do so between August 2024 and yesterday, so there's only one option left for those who haven't played it: pay up.

 

In addition to this change in business model, the project's developers are opting for a more traditional content strategy , based on premium DLC. They explain that the goal is to offer quality updates and maintain a constant flow of new features without relying on aggressive monetization systems.

 

Of course, the community has enthusiastically embraced this decision, appreciating the commitment to a more honest and direct experience . Still, some regret not having taken advantage of the upgrade to a completely free paid version, as access to the game was lost until the full version arrived. However, others allude to a classic saying: "He who doesn't run, flies." '

 

BTW, you can still get it for free in Steam. But you have very few hours to get it.

I tried a little bit (I don't have,actually, much free time for video games,sadly...)and it's fun in my personal opinion.
