This $69.99 RPG Maker with "Very Positive" reviews is now free on Steam, but only for a limited time
Have you ever wanted to create your own RPG but found traditional game development too complex? If your answer is yes, now might be the perfect time to start. RPG Maker VX Ace is a well-regarded tool for game creation, and it is currently free on Steam for a limited time - down from its original price of $69.99.
The software is designed to be beginner-friendly yet powerful enough for experienced creators. RPG Maker VX Ace provides everything needed to build a classic RPG—from map editing and event scripting to character creation and resource management. Unlike more recent iterations of the software, VX Ace retains a simple point-and-click interface, which makes it ideal for those looking to experiment with game design without any coding experience.
RPG Maker VX Ace has been well-received by users as well. It holds a "Very Positive" rating on Steam with over 4,500 reviews. Many users state that its flexibility and ease of use make it a great starting point for anyone interested in RPG development. Historically, the lowest price for the software was $6.99, so this freebie is a rare first-time opportunity.
In terms of system requirements, you don’t need a high-end PC to run it. A Windows XP/Vista/7 system, a 2.0 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, and 400 MB of storage is all that’s required.
This giveaway is part of Steam's RPG Maker Festival 2025 and will be available until February 10, 2025.
