This has been in the works for some time, and we are excited to finally do one of these and give players who have been on the fence about Icarus the chance to try it out and see all the work that has gone into it over the last two years.
For those unfamiliar with what a Free Weekend is, this is a four-day period over the weekend when anyone can download Icarus and play without having to have purchased the game.
If you’ve got friends you’ve been trying to convince to get the game, this is a great time to get them to come join you with no strings attached.
All content in the Icarus base game will be playable, including Open World and Operations on Olympus. We’ve also put the game itself and a bunch of the DLC on discount so if you enjoy it, you can score a good deal to keep playing long after the Free Weekend finishes.

Two Years of Icarus
You may have noticed above we mentioned 2 years of Icarus… well that’s because this week is also the 2 year anniversary since the launch of Icarus and 2 years straight of weekly updates!
The game has changed dramatically in two years, with a ton of new features and content added after release based on player feedback. The work we’ve put in has only been matched by your enthusiasm to play it, and we feel very lucky to be able to continue working with the community to make the game even bigger and better.
How much has the game changed since its launch?
We launched with:
- 35 timed missions
- 140+ craftable items
- 1 64sqkm map
- 95 building pieces
- 240 talents
- 1 map
- 2 modes (missions and outposts)
And today we have:
- 108 Missions, 52 Operations and 11 SMPL3 Quests
- 1140+ craftable items
- 375 building pieces
- 248 talents and 28 solo talents
- 4 Mounts
- 3 maps
- 3 modes (missions, outposts and Open World)
It’s incredible to see how far this game has come and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to every single person who has played Icarus and made memories in it.
Join us for our Free Weekend Twitch stream
If you didn’t already know, our team streams twice a week over on twitch.tv/rocketwerkz, playing Icarus and other titles from the studio including Stationeers and some up-and-coming projects.
We’re doing a massive Free Weekend stream to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, where we’ll be playing with multiple studio members and doing a bunch of giveaways. As part of the birthday celebration we've also discounted our entire merch store!
