Popular MMOs often purchased to maintain on Steam may be permanently claimed for nothing. Nevertheless, the offer is only valid for a short period of time.

Popular MMO Black Desert Online is free on Steam for a limited time. Black Desert Online is already a free-to-play game in various regions of the world. Unfortunately, all of the English-language game versions are typically pay-to-play.

The community of Black Desert Online has been well-maintained by developer Pearl Abyss since the game's initial release in 2014.

Black Desert Online is one of the rare MMOs that has succeeded in surviving and flourishing. Too many MMOs enter the market with lofty goals but only last a few years. Although Black Desert Online first received mixed reviews, Pearl Abyss has remained committed to the title.
Steam
It continues to draw hundreds of thousands of daily active players. With backward compatibility on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S assuring gamers can still play well into the current generation, Black Desert Online's debut on the PS4 and Xbox One in 2019 has also helped the game reach a new audience.
Steam
With formal notification, the free-to-keep price dropped to $0 on Steam on March 9. The game typically costs $9.99 and doesn't require a monthly membership, in contrast to many MMOs.
