Mini Thief Makes Surprise Free Appearance on Steam’s Limited-Time Giveaway

Steam has unveiled its latest free game offering, with Mini Thief becoming available at no cost to users of the popular gaming platform. Unlike its competitor Epic Games Store, Steam’s free game releases come as surprise drops without a regular schedule, making each giveaway a special occasion for gaming enthusiasts.

Mini Thief, a 2018 stealth-based burglary simulator, puts players in the shoes of a crafty thief tasked with pilfering valuable items from various houses while avoiding detection. The game features progressive difficulty levels that increase both the challenge and potential rewards, with multiplayer support adding an extra layer of excitement to the heisting experience.

The giveaway window remains open until January 24 at 12:00pm CST, during which time Steam users can add the game to their libraries permanently. Once claimed, Mini Thief becomes a permanent addition to the user’s game collection, regardless of its future pricing.

PC gaming enthusiasts currently have multiple options for expanding their libraries without spending money. The Epic Games Store continues its weekly free game program with Escape Academy, a cooperative puzzle experience centered around virtual escape rooms, available until January 23 at 10:00am CST. Following this, Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery will become the next free title in Epic’s rotation.

Epic Games Store maintains its commitment to weekly free game releases, suggesting that PC gamers can expect a steady stream of complimentary titles throughout the upcoming months. This creates an opportunity for players to build substantial gaming collections across multiple platforms without financial investment.
