SteamWorld Dig, the rather well-received platformer is currently going for the superb price of 0p right now on Origin. Yes, you read that right, zero pence. The game will be available until 23:59PM BST and is no doubt being given away in anticipation of the release of SteamWorld Dig 2 on September 21 for Nintendo Switch. The PC, PS4 and Vita version will come a few days after.

In SteamWorld Dig, players take control of the charming Rusty, a twee cowboy robot, as he mines his way into the underground to find resources, items and other riches. Obviously this isn’t a straight up mining game, and as such the player encounters a variety of enemies along the way in this memorable procedural mining adventure.

If you’d like a free copy of the game you can pick it up on EA’s Origin marketplace.

SteamWorld Dig 2 will be released on September 21 for the Nintendo Switch, with a PC, PS4 and PS Vita version coming on September 26.
