SAN DIEGO, CA — July 30, 2026 — Distinct Possibility Studios, the independent game development company behind the open-world persistent shooter REAPER ACTUAL, today announced that the game is having a Free Play Weekend on Steam from July 30, 2026 @ 10AM PST (7:00PM CET) until August 3, 2026 @ 10AM PST (7PM CET) .
During the free play Weekend, the game and associated DLCs will also be discounted 20% off their usual price.
REAPER ACTUAL pushes the extraction shooter genre forward with a persistent open world built for emergent gameplay and social play at its heart. As an elite Reaper on the war-torn island of Marova, players build their base, forge alliances, and lead high-risk raids against rival factions in a world where every bullet fired is a tactical gamble. Victories and defeats reshape the island's faction control in real-time, with PvP firefights and NPC factions constantly redrawing the map. As player expectations shift toward always-on experiences, Distinct Possibility Studios aims to set a new standard in the genre.
Reaper Actual is available via Steam in Early Access and has a base version and two DLCs. Price points below are the regular prices and do not reflect the Steam promotion discount.
Foundation Alpha Edition ($19.99) includes one Reaper, Havoc, and a bunker base: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2995670/Reaper_Actual/

Stygian Oath Edition DLC ($55.00) includes 3 additional Reapers: Luna, Thor and Vibora and a Warehouse Base at 1 of 4 locations
What Players Can Expect in Early Access
- Persistent World — Player victories and defeats reshape the island's faction control in real-time. A full progression and crafting system lets Reapers build the best gear, all of which stays in the world.
- Player Bases — Strongholds host crafting, weapon production, and home-turf defense. Both NPC factions and other players can raid your base — gather your allies and seek revenge with a raid of your own.
- Dynamic Narrative Progression — Hand-crafted story arcs merge with an in-game mission system. One Reaper may receive a mission to capture an enemy leader while others are sent to defend that same leader, creating an interwoven story network unique to every player.
- Combat and Skills — Precision gunplay, cover systems, and squad coordination are critical for battles. Reapers can also unlock and craft land, sea, and air vehicles to make Marova fully traversable.
- Player-Driven Economy — Craft, trade, and influence a dynamic in-game economy. Reapers don't just build guns — they craft gear, including night vision goggles, comms devices, and vehicles that may hold the key to victory.
