You have until 6pm to download the game for free.
After that, it goes back up to its normal price which is £7.19.
The game in question is the first Half-Life.
Half-Life burst onto the scene back in 1998 and went onto win more than 50 game of the year awards.
The series has spawned multiple sequels.
For those who missed it, the first Half-Life is a first-person shooter in which you play a scientist called Gordon Freeman who tries to escape a lab ridden with aliens after a scientific experiment goes horribly wrong.
PC gamers can redeem Half-Life free from the Steam store.
But you only have until 6pm UK time today (November 20).
Players have rushed to get hold of the game before it’s too late and have also been reminiscing.
“I have played this in 1998 when it came out on a voodoo2 12 MB it was ground breaking… a masterpiece, only if I could delete selected parts of my memory and replay this from zero would be great,” one fan wrote.
“Well, its 10/10 game, master peace that started a LEGEND! Game changer of all times… With this game actually everything started….one or another way…” another commented.
The freebie comes as the game’s developers release a brand new 25 year anniversary update.
New content such as fresh Deathmatch maps, player models, dozens of sprays, as well as a whole host of fixes, have been introduced.
There are also some treats for nostalgia lovers too, such as an updated main menu design inspired by the game’s original 1998 main menu.
Creators wrote: “We are very proud of what we built back then and we remain extremely grateful for the community of players who have been enjoying it ever since.
“The game hasn’t received as much attention in recent years as many other titles in our catalog, so we thought this milestone was a great opportunity to spruce up the player experience and add some fun new ways to play the game.”
