2K and Firaxis have announced that Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth is free to play this weekend on Steam and while thats downloading, players can also score 10% off the upcoming expansion, Rising Tide.



Rising Tide will expand Beyond Earth to new frontiers on the planet’s surface and across its seas, adding more choices and diplomatic options as players build “one more turn” toward a new vision for humanity’s future. New aquatic gameplay will explore the oceans for colonization by dramatically extending the play space, while an overhauled diplomacy system will provide players with additional layers of dynamic choices and options to shape the diplomatic landscape while engaging with the AI and one another.
