Free games are always worth paying attention to, and right now there's a legitimate Steam key giveaway running for Invincible VS, the 3v3 tag fighting game developed by Quarter Up and published by Skybound Interactive. The game launched April 30 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, and if you haven't picked it up yet, this is a solid way in.
What the giveaway actually is
The free Steam key promotion is being run through PCGamesN, who are giving away keys for the PC version of the game. The giveaway is tied to the game's launch window, so availability is limited. You'll want to act fast rather than bookmark this and forget about it.
The game retails at full price on Steam, so getting a key for free is a meaningful saving. The Deluxe Edition, which includes the Zero Suit Mark cosmetic skin with 4 color variants plus additional profile card cosmetics, sits at a higher price point if you want the extras.
What you're actually getting
Invincible VS is a 3v3 tag-based fighter set in the universe of the Amazon Prime animated series. Teams of three characters from the Invincible roster clash across iconic locations from the show, with fast, punishing combat built around bone-breaking combos, Super moves, and Ultimates.
Here's the thing: the game isn't just a licensed cash-in. Quarter Up built an original cinematic story mode written by a writer from the animated series, which is a meaningful commitment for a fighting game launch. The story mode is designed to feel, in the developers' own words, like a playable episode of the show.
The launch roster features fan-favorites from across the Invincible universe, including Omni-Man, and the first 2 DLC characters have already been confirmed post-launch. There's also an entirely original character created specifically for the game, Ella Mental, whose backstory was written by series co-creators Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker.
Modes available at launch
The full package at launch includes:
- Story Mode with an original narrative written for the game
- Arcade Mode for single-player runs
- Training Mode for learning the system
- Casual and Competitive Multiplayer for online play
The online component had some rough patches during the open beta, specifically around rage quitting. The developers acknowledged the issue publicly before launch and confirmed fixes were in the works, so the live version should be in better shape than what beta players experienced.
Twitch Drops are also running
Beyond the Steam key giveaway, there are also active Twitch Drops for the game. You can claim 3 free in-game rewards just by watching Invincible VS streams, with no account linking required and only 30 minutes of watch time needed per drop. Full details on how to claim every drop are covered in our Invincible VS Twitch Drops guide.
Twitch Drops for Invincible VS run until May 27. Missing that window means missing the free cosmetics entirely.
The broader picture for Invincible VS
The game launched into a fighting game market that's been hungry for something fresh, and the Invincible IP brings genuine recognition from both comic readers and Prime Video viewers. The open beta generated real buzz, with the rage quitting discussion alone producing multiple news cycles across major outlets.
Leaks circulating this week suggest additional DLC characters are already in development, including what appears to be an unexpected Spider-Man reference featuring J.K. Simmons. Nothing confirmed yet, but the post-launch content pipeline looks active.
