KRAFTON’s “Dinkum” joins Steam Free Weekend event
The Steam Free Weekend is an event hosted by the globally renowned gaming platform, Steam. During the event, selected paid games are available for all users to try for free.
“Dinkum,” developed by Australian indie developer James Bendon, first launched in Early Access on Steam in July 2022. As of February 2025, KRAFTON has taken over global distribution and operations for the game.
Inspired by Australia’s vast wilderness, “Dinkum” allows players to develop their own town on a picturesque island by gathering resources, hunting, mining, fishing, building structures, and participating in various activities. Players can express their creativity by customizing their island environment and constructing buildings that reflect their personal style. They can also form relationships with island residents and manage a thriving small community together through rich interactions with NPCs.
Since its Early Access release, “Dinkum” has sold over one million copies and garnered “Very Positive” user reviews on Steam—an indication of its global appeal among gamers. Notably, a major update in February this year introduced support for 14 official languages, broadening its reach and allowing even more players to enjoy the game.
