You can download it via the official Starcraft website. On Tuesday, Blizzard flipped the switch, making the seminal real-time strategy game a free download for Windows PC and macOS. It may look a little long in the tooth, but the gameplay is as solid - and addictive - as ever.With Starcraft Remastered announced earlier this month for a summer release, developer Blizzard also stated that the original Starcraft, and its expansion - Brood War, would be available for free soon. I remember spending a lot of hours playing this back in the late '90s. (Don't be confused by the installer, which mentions only the latter during setup.) What's more, this version includes not only the core game, but also the Brood War expansion pack. You can get a full rundown of the updates in this post on Blizzard's StarCraft forum. Interestingly, this is a newly patched version of StarCraft (1.18), the first patch the game has seen in over eight years.
This is not, to my knowledge, a time-limited offer, so you should be able to get it at some point, even if you have difficulty initially.) (Keep in mind that freebies tend to melt the Interwebs, so don't be surprised if you encounter a download delay or other issue. To get the original, at no charge and with no strings, use these download links (these begin the download immediately): That version will feature 4K graphics support and improved online matchmaking for multiplayer sessions. Why the giveaway? Blizzard is no doubt hoping to create some buzz around StarCraft: Remastered, an updated version of the game due later this year. Never played the game? Good news: It's now available for free. Hard to believe that was almost 20 years ago. The RTS classic is now available for free!Īlong with Command & Conquer, Blizzard's StarCraft ushered in the real-time strategy genre as we know it.
