Also ran Battle Royale game H1Z1 is going free-to-play with a "Free-to-play Week!" starting December 14th.
If you buy the game during the free period you will lose 75% less than if you bought it at full price and naturally any progress is kept. Currently price is 20 Yankee Dollars.
Unfortunately it appears you cannot download the game for free before the promotion starts.
PARACHUTE IN AND HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. WHETHER IN SOLO, 2-PLAYER, OR 5-PLAYER MODE, GRAB WEAPONS AND GEAR, AND LISTEN CLOSELY FOR THOSE TOXIC GAS WARNING SIRENS. AT SOME POINT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO
KILL OR BE KILLED!
