GOG Giveaway Ends July 6: Claim Nexus — The Jupiter Incident Free
GOG is running a limited-time free giveaway for Nexus — The Jupiter Incident, a space simulation game that originally launched in 2004 and still gets talked about as one of the standout titles in its genre. While GOG freebies don’t happen as often as the giveaways you’ll see on Steam or the Epic Games Store, the platform’s large back-catalog means its free-to-keep promotions frequently pull from the same pool of older “must-try” games many players missed the first time around.
Meanwhile on Steam, a brand-new open-world survival title is making the rounds by putting its own spin on creature-collecting—drawing inspiration from the same kind of vibe players associate with Palworld and the MHS series.
Nexus — The Jupiter Incident Is Free on GOG Right Now
- Claim Nexus — The Jupiter Incident before July 6
GOG’s latest FTK promotion lets PC players claim Nexus — The Jupiter Incident and keep the game DRM-free on their systems. Even though it’s been more than two decades since release, it reportedly still stacks up well against a lot of modern sci-fi space sims. The game includes six distinct alien factions, ten ships you can customize, and a set of handcrafted missions designed to scratch that classic space-adventure itch. If you’re the type who enjoys sci-fi franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars, this is the sort of title that could feel right at home.
You’ll want to grab it sooner rather than later: the promotion is scheduled to end on July 6, and the window is already fairly tight—under 70 hours remaining as of the time of writing.
If you miss the free claim, you still get a second chance. Players who haven’t picked up Nexus — The Jupiter Incident for free can purchase it on Steam until July 9 with a 90% discount, dropping the cost to under $1 USD.
