A Rare AAA Giveaway
Most free-to-keep promotions feature indie games from smaller studios, and big-name titles rarely appear. This one is exceptional, since it offers a game that once cost $59.99. The only catch is that it isn't as simple as Steam's regular free-to-keep offers.
Starting on December 2, the Lenovo Legion Gaming Community will hand out free Steam keys for Fallout: New Vegas. The game has had several price cuts over the years and now normally costs $9.99 on Steam, though its paid DLC packs can push the total higher. The promotion doesn't seem to include those add-ons, so the codes will likely cover the base game only.
How to Claim Your Copy
You first need a free Lenovo Legion Community account, and you have to connect a verified Twitch account to it. Then head to Lenovo's official giveaway page for the game and wait in line on December 2 at 12:00 PM ET. Once you get through, claim the free voucher and redeem it on Gamesplanet to receive a Steam key. The last step is to redeem that key on Steam, and the game lands in your library for nothing.
Perfect Timing for a Remaster
The giveaway comes at an interesting moment. Bethesda has confirmed that Fallout: New Vegas will get a remaster, and some believe it could arrive in 2027, perhaps around the franchise's 30th anniversary in October next year. The December giveaway lets fans of classic RPGs try Obsidian's take on the Fallout universe for free and get ready for that release. Bethesda and Obsidian have also confirmed they are working together on their first Fallout project since New Vegas launched in 2010.
New Vegas is the second masterpiece-level game Lenovo has given away in recent months. In October it distributed free Steam keys for Doom (2016), widely considered one of the best first-person shooters of all time. It won't be the only title in the program either. A 3D platformer called Mail Mole will be free to claim on November 11.
Other Free Steam Games Right Now
There are no signs of upcoming free-to-keep promotions on Steam at the time of writing. Players can still pick up several highly rated games that recently switched from paid releases to free-to-play.
