Original story: First-person shooter Metro 2033 is free on Steam for the next 24 hours, and if you download it before time runs out you can keep it. The spooky post-apocalyptic shooter from 4A Games was released in 2010 and was followed by a sequel, Metro: Last Light. It was also later remastered in Metro 2033 Redux.
But the original Metro is still absolutely worth playing, and it's hard to beat the offer of paying zero dollars for it, especially while you might be waiting impatiently for Metro: Exodus which is due in 2019.
The offer expires at 10 am PT / 6 pm BST / 7 pm CET tomorrow.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
