In a bid to keep gamers home and self-isolating as the coronavirus pandemic continues, Square Enix has made its 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider free on Steam.
Though the freebie comes as part of a Stay Home and Play campaign, the game will remain in the libraries of those who make good of the offer forever. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is also available for free, too.
To snag your copies and help keep yourself entertained as we all play our part and stay home, the games are available from now until 11:59PM PDT on Monday, March 23rd (which is 7am UK on Tuesday, March 24th). At the time of writing, there's sadly no such offer for the console or Stadia versions yet.

"With this in mind, we’re offering a gift to our community," the company continued. "Starting right now through Monday, March 23 at 11:59PM PDT, we’re releasing both Tomb Raider (2013) and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris for free on Steam."
"Even if you've never been a huge fan of Lara Croft's fortune-hunting adventures, Tomb Raider is sure to impress," we wrote in the GamesRadar+ Tomb Raider review. "Its expert sense of pacing, captivating setting, and dark tone create a truly memorable experience that's further enhanced by an immense level of detail. Lara Croft, the old Lara Croft, is dead. In place of a dolled-up gunslinger is a do-what-it-takes survivor--and I hope she hasn't had her fill of adventuring just yet."
