The large-scale military shooter lets you experience its 100-player battles for free through the weekend
Huge battles are a big part of the appeal of games like Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Hell Let Loose. There’s something satisfying about dropping into a battlefield packed with dozens of players, vehicles, explosions, and enough chaos that you can barely keep track of what’s happening around you. Some games lean into that spectacle, while others take a more deliberate approach to large-scale warfare.
If you're looking for the latter, there's an often-overlooked tactical shooter that lets you take part in full-scale military battles — and it's free to play on Steam this weekend.
Squad is a tactical military FPS that sits somewhere between an approachable multiplayer shooter and a full-on military simulation — and the full game is free to play on Steam through Sept. 28 at 10 a.m. PT. If you end up liking it, Squad is also 50% off during the free weekend, bringing its usual $39.99 price down to $19.99.
Squad is a tactical first-person shooter built around large-scale, team-based warfare. Matches can feature up to 100 players, with two teams of 50 fighting across huge maps using infantry, vehicles, and other combined-arms tactics.
The biggest difference from something like Call of Duty is how much the game depends on communication and coordination. Players are divided into squads, with squad leaders responsible for organizing their teams and communicating with other squads. Simply running around looking for kills isn't necessarily going to help your team win.
