#Rust steam free
Since 2020, Steam has been running regular festival weeks where hundreds of upcoming games offer free demos for you to play. Steam Festivals (now called Next Fest) aren't sales, exactly, but they're another way to play games for cheap. These festivals usually happen close to Steam's bigger yearly sales, and Valve has also confirmed another Next Fest for later this year in October of 2023. The next Steam Next Fest will run from June 19 - 26, 2023.
