Black Desert and The Division are both free to play this weekend on Steam

There was a time when it was rare to be able to try out an MMO without buying it, but these days the majority of the genre is free-to-play and there for you to try whenever. So games like Black Desert and The Division are outliers with a price tag preventing entry… except for this weekend. Both titles are offering a free weekend to everyone, throwing open the Steam doors and letting anyone jump in for some sandbox adventures or shooting your way across New York City.

If you’re taken in by that free taste, you’ll be happy to know both games are also for sale at a discount, with The Division down to $15 and the base Black Desert package down to $5. Of course, the former does have its sequel and replacement on the way, so you may want to be wary about how much you invest in the title… but right now let’s focus on the fun of getting to play the game for free, yes?
