Company of Heroes 3 is free to play this weekend ahead of the launch of its Operation Torch DLC

Following the launch of Company of Heroes 3.0, the game is going free-to-play this weekend. If you haven't played the hit RTS game yet, now is the perfect time to jump in. You can play for free from now until Monday, November 16.

The 3.0 version, which only dropped on November 5, is the biggest update to the game yet. It's made changes to the game's visuals, audio, and campaign, adding a Final Stand update. On top of all that, the game's first-ever single-player DLC, Operation Torch, is launching on November 25. Relic, Company of Heroes 3's developer, says that the game is "at its absolute best," making it the perfect time for new players to jump in and try it.

The Operation Torch DLC is the first time new campaign mission content has been added to the game. It will include 15 missions, including beach landings and stealth operations, and will require you to use a specific tool in each one. You will take command of U.S. forces during the invasion of North Africa, with the story being influenced by the pivotal battle in World War II, which shares its name with the DLC.

If you do jump into the free weekend and want to spend more time with the series, a brand new sale is running at the same time. The main game is 67% off, which is the lowest price it has ever been. The full list of discounts is:

• Company of Heroes 3 - 67% off, its deepest discount to date
• Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand - 20% off
• Major discounts across the wider Company of Heroes catalogue

The Company of Heroes 3 free weekend is live now, and the new DLC, Operation Torch, goes live on November 25, 2026, and can be added to your Steam wishlist now.
