Update (Fri 3rd Apr, 2020 15:30 BST): Image & Form's SteamWorld giveaway turned out to be a resounding success, with the studio reporting "tens of thousands of requests" over the qualifying period.
Thanks to this, the team decided to double the number of free games being given away from 1,000 to 2,000, with all codes now having been sent out to the first 2,000 people who completed the form. If you entered the competition, make sure to check your emails - you might just have a code waiting for you.
If you weren't one of the lucky ones, remember that Image & Form has also temporarily discounted all SteamWorld games on the eShop.
Original Article (Mon 23rd Mar, 2020 16:10 GMT): Image & Form, the development studio behind the wonderful Steamworld universe, is giving away a whopping 1,000 copies of games from the series.
The first 1,000 people to register for a code at this link will be contacted as a winner, with North American copies of numerous games from the series available on your choice of Nintendo Switch or Steam. Image & Form says that, "in times that may be worrisome, we're doing the following to hopefully brighten your day". You can choose from the following:
- SteamWorld Dig
- SteamWorld Dig 2

If you don't get to the link in time, don't fret. Image & Form also plans to temporarily discount all SteamWorld games on most platforms by at least 50% "sometime soon".
A very generous offer indeed. Good luck, and well done and thank you to the folks at Image & Form!

Dang I seem to be really early to this. Maybe I got super lucky? Anyways I chose SteamWorld Dig 2 so if I actually get it that will be so hype!
That's real nice of them ! It seems they posted that on twitter 20 minutes ago, thanks a lot to Nintendo Life for the notification. I chose SteamWorld Quest for the Switch. Now I hope I was early enough
Put my name in for SteamWorld Dig 2. I played the original on the 3DS and really enjoyed it so I would love to try out the sequel. It was a hard pick though, Heist and Quest both look very good too.
Games will be North American codes. So you need to have an NA account on your Switch if you win a code.
Might be worth mentioning.
I was lucky and got on the form like 10s after the tweet. Lucky I was on Twitter. Hopefully I got SteamworldDig
Not gonna say no to a free game. And I've been wanting to try out a SteamWorld game
Why thank you for posting this.
Only one I haven’t got is the new one. Not sure about it
@Cynas Dig 2 is GREAT! So much better than Dig 1 was and that was also great! Highly recommend it
Cmon steam world quest!!!
@Dm9982 Good to know! Even if I don't get a free copy here I'll probably pick it up during the sale.
I'm early. Fingers crossed because free is good
I already have them all on Switch. Great games, great studio.
Tried to get in there 17 m after this article posted I hope I get a game! I’ve never played any of the dreamworld games!
Already bought Image & Form's games (some more than once), so I'll be skipping this, but good luck to everyone that enters!
Image & Form is one of those developers that go the extra mile for fans, definitely worth supporting them.
This is amazing!
My friends get to play these amazing games!
(I already have 'em)
Quest is the only one I don't have, so I'll try for that.
Fingers crossed for Steamworld Quest! Although I think it says the eShop code is North American...? If it is, I will give it it my bro who lives stateside!
This is very generous of Image & Form! I put in for SteamWorld Quest on the Switch as I haven't played it yet. Both SteamWorld Dig games and SteamWorld Heist are worth everyone's time. They're excellent, addictive, quality titles. The Dig games are like a Metroidvania with mining elements (think Dig Dug), and Heist is a turn-based side view tactical space shooter.
@ryancraddock Thanks for the heads up!
There are no bad Steamworld games. Each one is lovingly crafted perfection. I own them all, so have at!
I never win these things but this time, I think I just might have gone in their quick enough. I selected Steamworld Heist. I bought it for Wii U but never got round to play it.
@Tyranexx You're welcome. It's a very generous offer from the Image & Form team 🙂
HECK YES, JUST IN TIME!!!
Doubt ill get it. People are extremely quick on these things.
I already have all of these games on Switch, but for those who haven’t, all four are excellent. Though in my opinion, Dig 2 is the best of the bunch. Good luck to those who’ve put in for a code!
Oh man, hoping I wasn't too late for Quest.
Own them all except Quest. But right now I have more games than I have time to play, so I'll let someone else have the free game.
Awesome promotion! Really liked all their games. but quest is the only one I don't have, so I tried for that
I'm trying for Quest, the only one I don't have yet.
The other ones are very good.
I actually preferred playing Dig 2 and Heist on 3DS.
The stereoscopic 3D, the more practical zoomed-in view on Dig 2 and the bottom screen map, made the 3DS versions definitive imo.
Quest or dig 2, what a hard choice!
The art style wasn't my thing at first but heist and dig are so amazing they won me over in like the first two minutes! Definitely get them even though you don't nab a code!
Dropped in for Quest, see if anything comes of it.
Quest is what I want. I have it on the 3DS and would love to play it again on the Switch.
I have them all but I dont have Heist on my Switch so that's the one I went for. I've been debating buying it yet again.
@Cynas Dig 2 is better than the first in every way. great game. the only one I don't have is quest,just not sure if I'd like the whole turn based card game. I cant really even get on with Gwent in the witcher either
I was definitely way too late for this...
Because their constant discounts have finally bottomed out and no one is buying without a deeper discount.
Yeah I'm probably number 37,533 something, but own all their games except Quest. Would like to play someday but when have the time... Just archived a game I bought due to storage limitations and looked at when I had tried it = never. (And the game isn't alone in never having been opened.) That's what two kids at home while trying to work does to your ability to get through your gaming library. Doesn't help that I still buy games as if I actually lived in the past where there was this concept of "spare time"
I really like what these guys are doing. Does anyone have a recommendation on any of these games? I’ve never played them before.
Corona Virus... You may take our lives, but you'll never take... our FREE GAMES!!!
With my luck I was probably to late to the party when I completed the form earlier. I put in for Steamworld Quest. I have all the others, but have held off on this one because of the price tag. Hopefully they will give it a really good discount so that if I don’t get a code I could still consider getting it.
I want steamworld dig 3 please. I own everything else they create.
I got the first Steamworld Dig game for the 3DS in a Humble Bundle and I loved it. Here's hoping I can win the sequel.
Steamworld Dig 2 was soooo addicting. Give it a try.
@Manski777 it's a such an awesome game! Won't be disappointed.
Did they give out codes for these yet?
@UmbrageHill haven’t gotten anything, maybe wait a few days, people who signed up early should get an email
@Hunt3r_Cr0wl3y I got an email when I submitted the form the day this happened and I was just curious if anyone had gotten lucky
@UmbrageHill I didn’t get one right away, but the deadline is 23:59 so hopefully we see tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed we’re lucky 😁
Haven’t gotten E-Mail, has anyone got one yet?
I signed up early, still no sign if I was within the first 1000 or not.
I got it
Super nice from them.
Your turn now Nintendo
Just checked my email. Got a Steam World Quest code, yay!
I got a SteamWorld Dig 2 code.WUHU!
Didn't get it unfortunately. Was hoping to get Quet. Still, really nice from them, i love SteamWorld Dig 2. This really was a success, i participated like 30 minutes after the giveaway started and still missed out.
A wonderful gesture from Image & Form, I already have all the Switch games right now though, and aiming to get a full physical set when it happens.
Damn, guess I missed out. I was hoping for Quest or Heist
Sadly it appears that my streak of bad luck continues. I do not appear to be one of the lucky one who got a code for Steamworld Quest.
I was able to get a copy of Heist from this. Can't wait to play it!
I was in the form within 20 minutes of it being posted they must’ve gone fast!
I missed it too. Nice of them for the free prizes though!
Fortunately, I received a code. Playing through heist now
Darn, must have been too slow.
I actually forgot that i signed up for this, I purchased steamworld dig yesterday on sale.. I just got a code emailed to me, Guess i'll just give it to my sister..
Nope, no luck here.
@Bmartin001 someone above posted their code for whoever wanted it. It was gone immediately haha 😅
Dang, guess I was too late...
If you didn't get a copy, remember that all Steamworld games are on sale in the US eShop for at least 50% off. Might be worth something.
@rexrex @UmbrageHill Sorry i just gave the code away to my sister..
@Bmartin001 that’s a good move!
I some how won a code to SW: Quest! Completes my SW collection on Switch! Love those guys at IF!
I registered inside 15 minutes of the article going live, have yet to receive a code. I thought for sure I'd got in on time.
Got my Steamworld Dig 2 code today.
Made an NA account to download it as well.
Fun game! Played the first one a lot a while ago. It's nice to play Dig 2 now.
@Trellgoth Dig 2 is amazing!
As usual I did not get any code... Never been lucky in giveaways. Still, these games are worth their price.
@OorWullie I was quick to enter also. No code for me either.
@UmbrageHill
I checked your twitter, and that cat picture (plus your love of King of the Hill) has convinced me you deserve my key. I can DM you it if you'd like. I too was pretty quick on the draw, and fortunately, I was lucky enough to get it, but I opted for a switch copy, and they require an American user account. I've weighed up the hassle of setting one up against how much I really want to play the game, and it doesn't seem worth it to me.
It might be a good idea to wait maybe 24 hours, just to be sure your email isn't late. I trust you've checked your spam folder too, just in case.
I entered this giveaway so quickly after it was announced, at noon on March 23rd. I find it very odd I didn’t get my code for Steamworld Quest.
I registered super early, and still got nothing. Oh well...
Man, and I thought I got in early. Oh well, no skin off my back. Kudos to those who did get a code, and the fact that I&F doubled the amount of codes sent out AND have all SteamWorld games at 50% off is still pretty dang generous.
Was lucky enough to get a copy of Quest.
So far it's the only good thing to come out of having nothing to do but stay home, sit on my couch, and stare at a screen; fortunately I was opting for my phone's screen and not my TV's at the time the original tweet went out. I love RPGs, I love cards, and I love SteamWorld Dig, so it was only a matter of time before I pulled the trigger and got Quest, but a wishlist 80 games long and longer backlog conspired to keep pushing when back. Remember when the Wii U got six games a month and five of them were obviously garbage to be avoided?
@edhe thanks for checking out my Twitter! My cat lays around in odd poses all the time. If you really wanted to give me a code that’s super nice! I am pretty sure i was too late to the party lol. If I get a late email I’d definitely pay it forward!
I did. Got a code for SteamWorld Dig 2. Was a nice surprise to wake up to this morning
Awesome! Managed to get Steamworld Quest!
Thanks for the giveaway Image and Form!
Now I know what I'm going to play this weekend 👀
Got a code Steam for SteamWorld Quest for a friend (as a surprise, I had the game already)
Steam because region free, Switch code required NA account and that would be silly for 1 game.
Nope, I sure wasn't one of the lucky ones.
Aw. Guess I wasn’t quick enough, even with the increased amount of winners.
I actually got steamworld quest thanks for mentioning it and what an amazing promotion
Took like 5 minutes to make an NA account
I got mine! I'm surprised it worked out
@sinsalaca Gimme an e-mail address (create a new one, do not put your actual e-mail address here), and I will send you a code for Quest
@shimarin [email protected] you can give me i create this e mail right now.I really really want Quest.
I got a code for SteamWorld Quest but I didn’t realise it was for a North American Switch account.
Anyone please feel free to take mine -
“ Your game code is ready for you down below:
SteamWorld Quest (Switch)
C02W4JKR9Y7Y2RJ0
The Switch key is North American but can be used with any Nintendo Switch system with a North American Nintendo eShop account.”
Let me know when it’s claimed!
@goldbricks23 Dude you are awesome.I always want to buy and play this game.Now thanks to you i got it and i starting to play right now Now i only need extra heist
This article saved me from missing the code that was hiding in the spam folder. Thanks for the reminder. Off to download Steamworld dig 2.
Uh i got unlucky again so if anyone got an extra key for steamworld quest, i'd be extremely glad if you hit me up
If anyone has a code for any game hit me up. I was really looking forward to the giveaway but I didn't win. This would make my day. I have been checking my inbox for the last two weeks.
@shimarin [email protected]. Thanks much appreciated
@Dude123 for switch
@Dude123 my email is [email protected]
@sinsalaca don’t think of it as bad luck, you just weren’t one of the lucky few this time around... they got a LOT of responses to this one! You’ll get lucky next time! 👍
I was hoping to get a code for DIG2, absolutely loved the first one on Wii U and Heist on 3DS! Delighted some fellow Nintendo Lifers got lucky though!
I guess nobody has a spare code, and that is okay
Dude stop begging. If someone had a code in hand, he/she'd already write already.
Awesome! I got a code for SteamWorld Dig 2, can't wait to try it out. I didn't think I got a code at first, but it ended up in my Promotions tab so I almost missed it. Definitely check all your inboxes to make sure if you got one or not.
I ended up buying the rest of the SteamWorld games on the eShop too. They're all on sale for great prices right now, and I wanted to support them for doing something like this.
I got the Quest code, can't wait to try it!
(To the guys saying they've got no use for the code as it's for US accounts: you don't need a US account, just change your location under your profile on Nintendo.com. It takes seconds, then you can change it back immediately after downloading the game).
@goldbricks23 for future reference; you could've changed your account country to US, redeemed the code, and reverted your account country. https://accounts.nintendo.com/profile/edit
@Cynas Was just about to tag ya and see if you got Dig 2, if not i was gonna snag ya a code. Congrats as well and enjoy! I loved both of em, but Dig 2 was a lot better. I can’t wait for Dig 3!!
nothing in my emails
I got one! WooHOOOOOOOOO!
Nothing for me. Oh well.
I had tried for Steamworld Quest. I wasn't a winner. If anyone has it and has a code for it that they don't plan to use, let me know.
@jco83 oh right, I thought I needed to open a new account and I didn’t want to do that just for one game.
Thanks for the tip though!
