Ubisoft is giving PC players a chance to add another game to their collection without spending anything. This is because For Honor is currently free to claim through the Ubisoft Store, and once claimed, the game is yours to keep. The giveaway is available until September 28, so there is still some time to grab it. This is also not a free weekend or limited trial where access disappears after the promotion ends. As long as you claim For Honor before the deadline, you can continue playing it afterward.

The giveaway applies to the Standard Edition of For Honor. However, those who prefer getting their games through Steam or the Epic Games Store won’t find the same free offer there, but both storefronts are currently offering the game at a 90% discount.

What is the game about?

As for what the game offers, For Honor is Ubisoft’s multiplayer melee combat game that brings together warriors inspired by different historical factions. Instead of focusing on guns or traditional ranged combat, battles revolve primarily around getting close to your opponent and mastering weapons such as swords, axes, and other melee equipment.

Players can choose heroes from several factions, including Knights, Vikings, Samurai, Wu Lin, and Outlanders. Each hero comes with their own weapons and fighting style, so there is plenty of room to experiment before settling on someone who matches the way you want to play. Heroes can also be customized using different armor pieces, weapons, colors, and materials.

There are also different multiplayer formats depending on the kind of experience you’re after. Dominion offers 4v4 team battles centered around controlling objectives, while 2v2 and 1v1 modes provide smaller and more direct fights. Ranked modes are available for players interested in a more competitive experience.

While the giveaway is a great opportunity to claim For Honor for free, Linux users should be aware of a major limitation before getting excited about playing it. Ubisoft recently made changes related to the game’s anti-cheat system that prevent Linux users from playing For Honor. This also affects SteamOS, as Valve’s operating system is Linux-based. As a result, Steam Deck and Steam Machine users are affected as well.
