Key Highlights:
- Steam is offering an 8-player coop game for free right now.
- The game can only be claimed until January 10, 2026 after which it will go back to being at full price.
- This charming action platformer offers a ton of fun and replayability.
Perhaps in a bid to compete against Epic Games, Steam has also joined the recent bandwagon of offering a bunch of games for free on its platform. However, these games are few and far inbetween, making each release feel more important than the other.
This week’s free game happens to be Billie’s Wheelie, an up to 8 person coop racing adventure that is sure to cause some multiplayer mayhem. More on the game, and how to redeem it (along with a big gotcha) below.
Steam Is Offering Billie’s Wheelie for Free, Here’s How to Claim It
This week’ free Steam game is Billie’s Wheelie, a rather charming indie title that has a heavy focus on coop multiplayer and some rather slick racing tracks. The game is developed and publisher by M4DOOM, who seems to be a (mostly) new indie developer.

Since its eventual reveal, the game has spiked in popularity, amassing a ‘Positive’ score on Steam (based off of 11 user reviews, as of the time of writing this article). Despite its many apparent flaws, Billie’s Wheelie is still a great deal a 100% off its MSRP.
That being said, here’s how to add the game to your account, permanently:
- Fire up Steam, or any web browser.
- Make sure you are logged into Steam before proceeding further.
- On the ‘Search the store’ bar, type in ‘Billie’s Wheelie’ and hit the return (Enter) key.
- A list of games should populate right below the search bar.
- Click on the first link that appears to be redirected to the game’s Steam store page.
- Scroll down till you see the green ‘Add to Account’ button. Click on it, and enter your purchase info (if required).
Wait for Steam to process the purchase and you should be done. You can now access the game from your Steam library, and play it at will.
The Game Is Free to Claim for Only This Week
All good things come with some caveats, and Billie’s Wheelie is no exception in this regard either. While the game is currently free to grab (and keep in your Steam game library, permanently!), the 100% discount is only applicable for a limited period of time.
The offer will ultimately expire on January 10, 2026 at around 11:30 PM (UTC +5:30), after which interested players will have to purchase it using real world money (or Steam credits).
As such, readers are recommended to make haste while redeeming the game, lest they forget to do so (and have the free period ultimately expire).
What Is Billie’s Wheelie?
Billie’s Wheelie is an action adventure, racing platformer game developed by M4DOOM. The concept is simple but intriguing, and has you race your hamster to the finish line, while being enclosed in a sphere (hence the Wheelie in its name).
Like any good arcade racer, Billie’s Wheelie also has you complete a set series of challenges, which vary in their difficulties. These include defeating pre-existing time records (or those of your friends’) and collecting all hidden Cheese Pieces, which can then be used to unlock rewards progressively.
More notably though, the game supports up to 8 player co-op gameplay, which can make for an entertaining gameplay session with friends. It also has PvP enabled out of the box, which adds to the experience.
