They’ve only gone and putTitanfall 2on Steam, readers. BT-7274 (and whatever the boring human bloke’s name was) have jettisoned from their exclusive spot on Origin, crashing into Valve’s house like, well, a hulking great metal man. At a third of the price for the next three weeks, you’ve no excuse for not checking out one of the finest first-person shooters of the last ten years.

If your knowledge of Respawn shooters begins and ends withApex Legends, let me be the first to welcome you to the cockpit. Think ApeLegs, but faster, deadlier. Tighter arenas, wall-running, and 25-ton battlemechs.

The firstTitanfallhad some neat ideas regarding multiplayer narratives - maps playing out over a pseudo-campaign between the Militia rebels and the industrial fascists of the IMC. But it’s the second one people really remember. I’m a little cooler onTitanfall 2’s campaign than a lotta folks, but it’s hard to be too down on missions that give you the prompt to “press F totime-travel.” Fantastic stuff, that.

Like The Sims 4, Titanfall 2 drops on Steam alongside a crop of other EA titles making the jump from Origin - a process thatkicked off in earnest earlier this month. That’s all ahead oftonight’s EA Play showcase, too. Our vidbuds Matthew and Colm will be tuning in for the evening shift at 11:40BST, providing their own post-show commentary.

Titanfall 2 can be grabbed onSteamright now. At 67% off ‘til July 9th, that’s one of the generation’s best run n’ guns going for £8.24.
