Do you play "video games?" Do you play these "video games" on Steam? Then this news is for you. Starting today, Valve is kicking off what they're calling the "Spring Cleaning" event on Steam. It involves video games and playing them.
Spring Cleaning. That wonderful time of year where people go through their closets to make space, and in doing so discover forgotten gems lost to the bottom of plastic storage totes. But why should the joy of rediscovering a kitschy t-shirt, or a well-hidden holiday gift, be limited to cleaning our homes? With so many wonderful games out there it's easy to have a backlog of titles that you always intended to go play, but for whatever reason never got around to. and the Steam Spring Cleaning Event is the time to change that.

By diving into your Steam Library and playing games that you haven't looked at in a while (or at all), you can unlock and level up the new Spring Cleaning badge. But this event isn't just for those with a hefty backlog of titles to work through. as we said earlier, Spring Cleaning is a time of delightful surprises and so in that spirit the following games will be available to play FREE for the duration of the event (May 24th -May 28th)

Don't Starve Together
Dead by Daylight
Cities: Skylines
Tyranny
Borderlands 2
Castle Crashers
Shadows of Mordor
Left 4 Dead 2
Dirt 4

It's a great time for games, so enjoy the weekend exploring Steam and finding a new classic to add to your all-time favorite list.

The Spring Cleaning event just runs through the weekend and you are eligible to earn a badge from it. Are there sales going on? If you ignore those free games (listed above) then the answer is "nope." It's just Valve suggesting you to play some games. Literally. Just click on the "Let's have a look..." under any of the trophy sections and they'll suggest games that fit in each area.

So uh... stop actually cleaning and instead go play games?
