I wrote last weekend that Titanfall 2 was enjoying a substantial resurgence in popularity on Steam thanks to its links with the imminent launch of Apex Legends season nine.

From right now until May 3rd at 10am PT/6pm BST you'll be able to play Titanfall 2 for free.

Titanfall 2's multiplayer is substantially different from Apex Legends, in that it includes both wall-running and giant mechs you can summon from the sky.

Meanwhile, Apex Legends season nine is due to launch on Tuesday, and brings with it a new character, Valkyrie, who is the daughter of an enemy mech pilot from Titanfall 2's story mode.
