Steam Users Can Claim Tempest: Pirate Action RPG for Free Until February 20

PC gamers can claim a free copy of Tempest: Pirate Action RPG through a limited-time promotion hosted by digital games retailer Fanatical, with Steam keys available until February 20 or while supplies last. The giveaway provides permanent access to the game once redeemed, although keys are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

The promotion is not run directly by Valve’s Steam platform but requires redemption through a linked Steam account.

Fanatical Offers Tempest: Pirate Action RPG as a Free Steam Key

Tempest: Pirate Action RPG, developed by HeroCraft and originally released in 2016, is an open-world naval combat game centered on pirate exploration and ship-based battles. The title normally sells for approximately $15 and currently holds a “Mostly Positive” user rating on Steam based on more than 1,700 reviews.

The game focuses primarily on single-player progression while also supporting cooperative and PvP multiplayer modes.

Key gameplay features include:

• three explorable regions with multiple islands
• customizable pirate ships and upgrades
• story-driven single-player missions
• cooperative and competitive multiplayer gameplay
• dynamic weather systems
• encounters with mythical sea creatures such as the Kraken and Leviathan

Additional downloadable content packs remain sold separately.

How to Redeem the Free Game on Steam?

To claim the promotion, users must obtain a Steam key through Fanatical and activate it within their Steam library.

The redemption process requires:

• Creating or signing in to a Fanatical account
• Linking a verified Steam account
• Visiting the Tempest: Pirate Action RPG promotion page on Fanatical
• Adding the game to the cart and completing checkout at no cost
• Redeeming the provided key via the Steam client

Fanatical requires that the connected Steam account includes at least one previous purchase valued at $5 or more.

Limited Availability and Promotion Conditions

The giveaway runs until February 20 but may end earlier if available keys are exhausted. Fanatical promotions are typically limited by inventory and may also vary by region depending on licensing restrictions.

Once redeemed successfully, the game remains permanently attached to the user’s Steam account.

Free Game Promotions Across PC Platforms

While Steam itself is not currently hosting a platform-wide free game promotion, third-party retailers and competing storefronts such as the Epic Games Store regularly distribute free titles as part of user acquisition campaigns.

These promotions have become increasingly common within the PC gaming ecosystem as digital storefronts compete for player engagement and platform loyalty.

Fanatical has not indicated whether additional giveaways will follow this promotion.
