Guild Wars 2: Steam release of the free online RPG has a date
Guild Wars 2 will be released on Steam on August 23rd, making it its first release on a third-party platform. In August, the free online RPG, which does not require a subscription, also celebrates its tenth birthday. Therefore, more rewards and content packs await players with the Steam launch.
It’s been a long time coming, now the time has finally come: Guild Wars 2 is coming to Steam on August 23rd. Of course, this goes hand in hand with the ten-year existence of the online role-playing game, which is characterized, among other things, by the fact that it can be played free of charge and does not require any paid subscriptions.

Costly Content Pack and Twitch Drops on Steam Release
A new content pack is available for those wanting to get the full Guild Wars experience on Steam, the Guild Wars 2 Complete Collection. For around $100, this bundle includes the three expansions Heart of Thorns, Path of Fire, and End of Dragons, as well as all five seasons of the episodic Living World, which bridges the arcs of the game’s main narrative.
Likewise, Twitch viewers have the opportunity to win additional prizes, because with the launch of Guild Wars 2 Steam also kicks off the first Twitch Drop rewards campaign, running from August 23rd to August 28th. Watching streamers playing Guild Wars 2 on Twitch will give you exclusive character rewards such as classic clothing sets, experience boosters, and the “unique” cosmetic item “Glowing Purple Mask”.
Finally, it remains to be said that Steam players as well as users of the Ncsoft client play on the same servers of the free online RPG. If needed, players can also wishlist Guild Wars 2 on Steam before it launches at 9am sharp on August 23rd.
