Update: Payday can be downloaded for free right now on Steam.
Original Story: Later this week, you'll be able to download a free copy of Payday, the heist-themed shooter from Overkill Software.
This month marks the three-year anniversary of the game (and, by extension, the series), which debuted on October 18, 2011. Overkill has been trying to attract players to join the official Payday 2 group on Steam, offering various in-game rewards as milestones were reached. This includes "secret stuff" that remains in development and will be given away for free once it's ready.
Because the goal of 1.5 million was reached sooner than expected, Overkill will give away the original Payday sooner than it was planning. Beginning at 10am Pacific on Thursday, October 16, you'll have 24 hours to claim your free copy of the game from Steam, where it ordinarily costs $15.
As a very good co-op game, being able to get the game for free means you and your friends won't have any excuse not to make Payday a part of your Steam library.
