Free To Keep Through April 6
House Flipper is free to keep on Steam right now—claim it by April 6 and it’s yours permanently. No subscription tricks, no limited trial. Hit the store page, add it to your account, and you can install whenever you like.
The giveaway lines up with Steam’s House and Home Fest, which also discounts the game’s many DLC packs. If you end up wanting everything, the Flipper Bundle that includes all paid DLC is currently priced at just over $36. The sequel may be out—with a Scooby-Doo DLC, no less—but you can’t beat free.
If you only have time to claim it, that’s fine. Installing isn’t required to lock it in. Once the window closes on April 6, House Flipper returns to its regular price.
Why Grab It Now
A remastered version is set to launch later this year, and existing owners will get a discount that scales with how many DLCs they own. Even if you only pick up the base game during this promo, that translates to $4 off the remaster’s $50 price tag. Stack in more DLC and the discount grows from there.
Starting with the original also gives you a low-risk way to see if the formula works for you. House Flipper 2 is already on the market—and yes, it really does have a Scooby-Doo pack—but the first game’s free entry point makes it easy to decide whether you want to invest in bundles, expansions, or the remaster later this year.
What You Do In House Flipper
House Flipper is a first-person renovation sim about turning wrecks into listings. You knock down and rebuild walls, scrub grime, patch holes, lay floors, paint rooms, and stage spaces so they’ll sell for a profit. Finish a job, pocket the cash, upgrade your tools, and move on to a bigger mess.
The DLC pipeline broadens that loop with fresh furniture sets, pets, and new locales. One add-on even sends you to a neon-soaked cyberpunk city—free of charge—trading suburban makeovers for rain-slick, futuristic apartments. If you enjoy ticking tasks off a list and watching spaces transform, there’s plenty to chew on.
Temper Your Expectations
Not everyone vibes with the methodical pace. “There’s a definite satisfaction in taking a gross room and making it look nice, and it’s pretty cool that you can knock down (and rebuild) walls,” said PC Gamer senior editor Christopher Livingston in his impressions back in 2018. “But I just don’t find the act of slowly and mechanically painting and cleaning much fun, especially with the knowledge that my actual house could do with a bit of that.”
That push and pull still applies. If repetitive, chill chores sound soothing, this scratches the itch. If you bounce off routine tasks, you may only want to tour a few jobs before moving on. Either way, the price makes testing the waters an easy call.
With a remaster on the horizon and discounts tied to ownership, now’s the smartest time to claim a permanent copy and see where you stand. Grab it before April 6, try a couple of flips, and decide whether DLC—or the incoming remaster—earns a spot on your renovation wishlist.
