Summary

  • Furi Demake is free on Steam until June 23.
  • Furi Demake is a retro take on Furi that features a recreation of the original game's first boss fight.
  • It's possible Furi Demake will add more boss fights in the future.

Steam users have from now until June 23 to claim Furi Demake completely free of charge. Steam users have been treated to a variety of free games this year, though PC gamers willing to branch out to other storefronts have been able to claim a lot more free titles for their digital libraries.

While Steam has offered free games fairly regularly this year, the Epic Games Store has given PC gamers a new free game to claim every week. The current Epic Games Store free games are Touch Type Tale and Deadtime Defenders, free from May 8 to May 15. They will be replaced by a pair of mystery games next week. PC gamers should definitely be sure to claim the EGS freebies while they still can, and they should snag the latest free Steam game while they're at it.

Furi Demake is free to claim on Steam until June 23. Furi Demake is an 8-bit style "demake" of the shoot 'em up game Furi, recreating the game's first boss fight with a striking retro art style. Furi Demake launched in 2023 but has largely flown under the radar, which has prompted developer/publisher The Game Bakers to make it free for a limited time. This will let the developers "measure how much interest" there is in Furi Demake. The Game Bakers want to recreate more Furi bosses in Furi Demake, so there is potential for future updates. Anyone that claims Furi Demake by June 23 will be able to keep it for forever without paying a dime.

Furi Demake is Free on Steam Until June 23

A free giveaway like this could be a great way to get more people playing Furi Demake. By giving away the game for free, Furi Demake's playerbase will inevitably grow, and in turn, there may be more people willing to check out any future updates or DLC that might be released for the game. It's a clever strategy, and it will be interesting to see if it pays off. In the meantime, those interested in checking out the original game should note that the original Furi is $19.99 on Steam.

Both Furi and Furi Demake have "Very Positive" reviews from Steam users, so they should be a pretty good time for action game fans. As far as The Game Bakers goes, the studio followed up Furi with co-op game Haven, and it has a rockclimbing game called Cairn set to launch later this year for PC and PlayStation 5.
