Deal | From $25 to $0: Addictive simulation game with 42K positive reviews goes free on Steam

A well-rated game is currently available for free on Steam. It's House Flipper, a hit simulation title that was released in 2018. Since the launch, it has received over 45,000 player reviews, and among them, 94% of them are positive. That means it currently has over 42,000 positive player reviews.

When not on sale, this currently free game on Steam goes for $24.99. However, until April 6, 2026, it will be up for grabs for $0. This promotion has also made the title attract a lot of player attention. Per SteamDB, it currently has a peak player count of around 76,000, which is quite the achievement for a title that's 8 years old.

For those interested in learning more, the gameplay is all about cleaning trash, installing sinks, painting walls, and flipping rundown properties to make a profit. On paper, all these may make it sound like a chore simulator, but it's not.

House Flipper resides in a category that is quietly dominating in terms of player retention. It's addictive, has low-stress gameplay, and the task-driven nature makes it easy to play. There's no fail state, and nor is there a skill ceiling that locks players out.

However, the game isn't perfect. Unlike its sequel, for example, there's a small selection of decorative items. Of course, the DLCs add a good amount of content (HGTV DLC curr. $9.99 on Humble). The story mode missions can also get repetitive at one point. Still, for a free game, these aspects aren't much of a big deal.
