Free Weekend ends.... when exactly (may not be as dumb as question as you think) ?

[Petdevils]

Hello

On the Steam store; right now it says Play for free! Ends in 1 day and 12 hours...

But does that meant the F2P weekend literally finishes then... or, as long as you have installed the game as part of the F2P weekend before that date/time.... that you can keep playing until the special ends on the 2nd of June ?

The reason I even bother asking this is that I know sometimes these things are not made as clear as they could be.



Thank you for your help

The operative word is "weekend". How long is a weekend where you live?

Do you seriously not realise how often these Free Weekends actually last longer than 3 days?
And they don't always make the actual end date as clear as you'd think.

I'm not sure if I ever seen a free weekend promo run longer than that :

Typically, a Demo tied to specific Steam Event (Steam Next Fest, etc.) is timed to the duration of the event :

The "claim for free" games typically have a 100% discount instead of a demo or "free weekend".

The ability to play the game for free will end when the remaining time expires. As of writing this, it says it will end in 1 day and 2 hours. The sale for the game will end on June 2nd.
