Multiplayer survival sandbox game "H1Z1" is currently on its early access period. With many players wanting to try to final game out, they can still see how the game plays out during the early access. For gamers who do not have enough finances, fortunately, developer Daybreak Games is also giving the game out for free for one week.

The week-long trial started on Dec. 14 and will end on Dec. 21 next week. Gamers can download the whole game on Steam. During the trial, new players can try everything the game has including solo mode, duos, fives, and the combat zone. Existing players can definitely expect a lot of new players in the game during the week.

As per the usual, any progress made during the trial will be carried over to when the players decide to buy the full game. To make it easier for trial players, Steam apparently also has a sale giving a 75 percent discount for anyone who purchases the game.

As the game is still in its early access stage, players can expect a lot of new changes to be added to the game. In fact, it has been in early access since February of 2016 and has since then been worked on by a lot of people.

When "H1Z1" was released, it was not received as well as the company thought it would be. Many players dismissed the game saying that it was like the similar survival game, "DayZ." It was only when developer Brendan Greene, or more popularly known as PlayerUnknown, made a battle royale mod that "H1Z1" rose in popularity. Since then, this mod now became its main gameplay that its existing players love.

For "H1Z1" to release a free week means that they are ready to showcase the game once again to the public. Hopefully this time around, "H1Z1" can turn around its reputation further.
