Weyrdworks has announced that its cozy desktop companion game Weyrdlets will move from free-to-play to a one-time premium purchase on March 17, 2026. The game will remain free to download on Steam until that date.
The decision follows community feedback, with many players sharing that they prefer paid games over free-to-play experiences on Steam. According to Weyrdworks, moving to a paid model allows the team to continue developing Weyrdlets long-term without introducing aggressive monetisation or compromising the cozy experience players have come to expect.
For those who have been meaning to try the game, this marks the final opportunity to secure it at no cost before the pricing change, as players who download Weyrdlets before March 17 will retain permanent access once it becomes premium.
Alongside the transition, Weyrdlets 2.0 will launch on March 17 with a series of improvements and new features. More details will be shared in the coming weeks, with the official trailer releasing on launch day.
