12 is Better Than 6 is free to keep on Steam as part of HypeTrain Digital’s 10th-anniversary sale. You can add it to your account before the deadline of November 13 comes. DLC is discounted separately; trading Cards aren’t expected to drop during the promo.

Top-down Western shooter 12 is Better Than 6 is now free to keep on Steam for a short window as part of HypeTrain Digital’s 10th-anniversary publisher sale. The store page states the game is "Free to keep when you get it before 13 Nov @ 10:00am PST." After you add it to your account during the promo, it’s yours permanently.

As mentioned earlier, the giveaway sits inside HypeTrain’s anniversary event running November 10-24, with SteamDB stating that the first four days include this "Limited Free Promotional Package." That’s why you’ll also see precise start and end times (10 Nov 18:00 UTC to 13 Nov 18:00 UTC) on deal trackers. 

To claim it, head to the game’s Steam page and hit Add to Account while the banner shows 100% off. The store also flags "Some limitations apply" - in practice, third-party coverage says the free version won’t drop Steam Trading Cards, which removes any card-farming angle but doesn’t affect gameplay.

If you want more content, the Apostles DLC and the "Full Story" bundle are discounted during the sale, but only the base game is free.

What you’re getting with 12 is Better than 6 is a hand-drawn, black-and-white (with flashes of red) shooter set across the 1870s borderlands, with one-shot-kill combat and light stealth. The game's Steam page currently shows "Mixed" recent reviews, with English reviews being "Mostly Positive" overall; it is also listed as Steam Deck (curr. $743 on Amazon) playable via SteamDB, which is good news if you are planning on playing it on your handheld.
