V Rising will be free to play this weekend

Earlier this year, V Rising took the gaming world by storm, and soon everyone can give it a try for zero dollars and zero cents.

On Tuesday, Stunlock Studios announced that V Rising is free to play from Friday, Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, 2022, on Steam. For anyone unfamiliar with the game, it’s an open-world isometric survival adventure with vampires — basically, Diablo meets Valheim. Throw in some gaudy victorian Interview with the Vampire vibes for good measure, too. 

Jokes aside, V Rising is arguably 2022’s biggest sleeper hit, selling over a million units in less than a month. It would shatter that record only a few days later as well. In short: people like this one a lot.

It's time to convert some Vampires for the upcoming V Rising Free Weekend!

According to SteamDB, thousands of people still log into the game daily, so there’s an active player base months later. There’ll surely be loads of other newbies once the free trial begins, so you will be one of many that are just starting out. 

If you’re new to V Rising, GLHF has numerous guides, including beginner tips, PVP suggestions, how to craft leather, and where bosses are in Farbane Woods. It’s one of those games that isn’t exactly friendly to new players, so it’s worth looking over any helpful write-ups.
