UPDATE (7 Dec) from several OzB users, the free Steam key promotion has ended as per Rebellion's post:
"Thank you for helping us celebrate Rebellion’s 30th Anniversary with our free giveaway. Due to unprecedented demand, we have now had to end this promotion. Anyone who has signed up to the mailing list and was unable to redeem their code will be emailed to ensure they get access to the game in the coming days."
To redeem Rebellion's 30th Anniversary limited time offer of a FREE PC/Steam copy of Aliens versus Predator Classic 2000 game, you need to:
- Add the game to the Rebellion Shop website's basket, apply a promo code, and complete checkout to obtain a Steam Key - this requires an existing (or signing up for a free) Rebellion ID account (privacy policy, terms and conditions).
- Ensure that the Steam client software must also be installed and launched to activate the Rebellion Shop-provided Steam key on your Steam account - Rebellion's checkout page states that the Steam store website cannot facilitate this activation. EDIT: Steam website-only workaround by bigbadboogieman
Notes:
- The Rebellion Shop website seems to be having frequent loading / timeout issues, probably due to the heavy traffic associated with the giveaway's limited time offer. If you are able to use a VPN service/software, you may have better luck with completing the checkout process on the Rebellion Shop website using a different geo-located IP address.
- If you can't (or don't want to) obtain a Steam key with the above procedure, the Steam store listing of Aliens versus Predator Classic 2000 is currently discounted to A$1.87 (offer ends on December 8th, North American timezone)
- Many of Rebellion's game titles (e.g. Sniper Elite, Zombie Army, Strange Brigade, Evil Genius, Rogue Trooper, Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death, Battlezone and more) are also currently discounted as part of Rebellion's 30th Anniversary Sale on Steam.
I went through the full process myself, confirmed that I got a successful Steam key activation - described in full below:
As part of Rebellion’s 30th Anniversary celebrations, you can get a FREE copy of Aliens vs Predator Classic 2000 for PC/Steam when you sign up to the Rebellion Shop mailing list below and redeeming the code. Limited time offer, one per customer, subject to availability.

Thanks! Worked for me.
This promo started a few days ago but they ran out of keys before the site responded. Good to see more stock.
