‘We know times have been weird lately’

This one goes out to all the parents with kids who are driving them up the wall. From now until Jun 07, 2025, The Behemoth is letting Steam users download and playCastle Crashers,BattleBlock Theater, andPit Peoplefor free on PC.“If you need a family activity or want to hang with friends online, we got you.”

The studio isn’t “fully” giving these games out – they’re free to play for a limited time – but the gesture is very much appreciated while we’re home-bound, and you can also buy all three on sale if needed.

They each scratch a specific itch.Castle Crashershas cathartic sword-swinging and steady stat progression to keep you going,BattleBlock Theateris all about silly platformer mayhem, andPit Peopleis a ridiculous tactical romp. You probably own at least one of them, but maybe not the trio.

Straight up, I thinkCastle CrashersandBattleBlock Theaterare some of the best co-op games around. I hope The Behemoth can continue crafting these fun-for-all-ages experiences for decades to come.
