In addition to reduced rates on many games, players can try the Standard Edition of Dying Light for free and decide later if they want to keep it. Additionally, wild west fans can download and keep Techland’s Call of Juarez: Gunslinger for free.

Techland’s “Publisher’s Weekend” Sale started today and runs until December 14th. Dying Light, however, is only free to play between today and Sunday, December 11th. After Sunday, players will need to pay $11.99 to keep it permanently. Meanwhile, fans can get Call of Juarez: Gunslinger for free until the 14th, and players can keep it forever without paying a cent. Other big deals include Dying Light: Platinum Edition for $14.99, the original Call of Juarez for $1.99, and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood for $1.99. Techland’s sale page also draws attention to its 2000 vehicle combat first-person shooter for 99 cents.
All of the DLC for Dying Light is also on sale, ranging from 15% to 80% off depending on the specific item. Additionally, players can get Techland’s 30th-anniversary bundle for $32.29. That bundle includes all of the games mentioned above plus most of Dying Light’s Season Pass content, indie hack and slash God’s Trigger, Pure Farming 2018, and the Xpand Rally series of off-road racing games. According to the Steam page, it would typically cost about $155 to get each item individually, so it’s a good deal for anyone after a complete collection.
Notably, Dead Island is not currently available at a reduced rate. This is likely because Techland only developed the game rather than publishing it. Anyone wanting to try out the tropical zombie-survival franchise will have to wait until the next Deep Silver sale on Steam. Pre-purchases of Dying Light 2 are also full-priced at $60 for the Standard Edition, $80 for the Deluxe Editon, and a whopping $100 for the Ultimate Edition.
The last two details might take some of the wind out of this particular Steam sale. On the other hand, this weekend is an excellent opportunity for PC gamers to grab several Techland Games at a reduced rate. Still, the standout is definitely Dying Light’s free weekend. For anyone who’s been meaning to try out Techland’s popular parkour zombie survival game, now’s probably the best opportunity they’re going to get.
Dying Light is available on PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One.
