Atlas Reactor Is Free To Play On Steam This Weekend
After recently shifting gears from free-to-play to up-front pricing, Atlas Reactor is expanding its beta program. In addition to closed beta through its own client, Trion Worlds is opening the game to Steam players via the Early Access program.
To kick that off, the publisher is inviting players to sample the game free this weekend. From 5 p.m. Pacific today, May 12, through 11:59 p.m. Pacific on Sunday, May 15. Also launched today is a custom game spectator mode. You can follow specific players or watch the whole game from an overhead perspective.
Following the free weekend, you’ll need to purchase the game via Early Access or on the official site to keep playing. You can read more about the different purchase options in our previous coverage. You can also learn more in our preview.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
