For a limited time, the competitive multiplayer component of space game Elite Dangerous is available for free.
The offer is underway now for Elite Dangerous: Arena; you can grab it through Steam or developer Frontier's store. It will remain free until July 11 at 1 AM ET, after which time it'll go back to its usual price of $7.49. Adding it to your library before then means it's yours to keep forever.

If you already own Elite Dangerous or its follow-up, Elite Dangerous: Horizons, you already have access to Arena. The version being given away is a standalone release that doesn't require you to own anything else, but it's otherwise identical to what Elite Dangerous owners have.
