No, The Bazaar is no longer free-to-play on Steam as of its August 2025 launch, requiring a purchase to play, though existing players on the Tempo Launcher could continue for free, with changes to hero unlocks and monetization. While it transitioned from a free model to a premium purchase, new players must buy the game (around $20-$45), with additional heroes available as paid DLC, ending the ability to unlock them with in-game gems.
We're ready to announce our updated launch pricing plan: - The game will launch on steam for $39.99 for the base game along with Vanessa, Pyg and Dooley.
You can download The Bazaar directly from its official website. Once you're on the page, you'll see two buttons: "Download for Windows" and "Download for Mac." Choose the one that fits you and install the game's dedicated launcher. You'll gain access to The Bazaar when you set up the launcher on your system.
