The Starter Edition of Ubisoft’s battle epic For Honor can currently be played for free on Steam. This attracted a lot of players. The number of simultaneous active players surged from 5,000 to 210,000 in just one day.
If something is free, people are quick to grab it. This is also true for Ubisoft’s action game For Honor. Currently, the Starter Edition is playable for free and players definitely do not want to miss out on that.
Free For Honor is a big success
Play For Honor for free right now: Until August 27 at 7 PM, it is possible to play the Starter Edition of For Honor for free on Steam. Those who do so can keep the version and continue to play even after the promotional period ends. With this edition, the main game is playable with limitations:
- You can play the story mode and the multiplayer parts
- Three heroes are fully unlocked
- Three additional characters are playable, but not fully unlocked yet
- You can purchase more heroes and customization options with in-game currency Steel
For Honor has fallen a bit asleep: As reported by githyp, the numbers for For Honor had recently fallen a bit. The day before the free promotion, only 5,000 players were online at peak.
Rising success on Steam: The currently free edition of For Honor has led to Ubisoft’s action game skyrocketing in the Steamcharts. Nearly 217,000 players were online simultaneously. This places the title at 8th among the most played games on Steam at the moment. Whether Ubisoft can maintain this position will be seen in time.
The recently announced Arcade mode is expected to offer nearly endless gameplay and could motivate fans in the long term.
