The EXFIL Free Weekend is officially live on Steam! Jump in now through the EXFIL Demo and experience the full game for free from Dec 22nd to Dec 31st.
⚠ Important Note for Returning Players
If you’ve played EXFIL before, we strongly recommend deleting your old settings file before jumping in this weekend.
Significant updates have been made to input handling, video options, and loadout systems since the last Free Weekend. Keeping older config data may cause unexpected behavior or visual glitches.
It’s been a while since our last Free Weekend, and a lot has changed since then. This update brings major new systems, weapons, and content updates — including:
New map: Malverde
New helicopter reinforcement system
New DMR and the 50cal BMG
Ai will now throw grenades!
Tactical ladder, Anti personnel mines and Razor wire
Drone Jammer can be deployed
New in-game Loadout Editor (swap your loadout mid-match or between reinforcement waves)
…and much more.
Whether you’re returning or new to EXFIL, now’s the perfect time to see how far the game has come. We’d love to have you back in the field.
Existing Operators, you’ll find community games running all week, so hop in and help test the latest systems while welcoming new players to the fight.
Important: This time, the Demo and Retail build share servers. If you already own EXFIL, just play as normal — no need to download the demo.
🧭 Patch Notes (Now Live on Main Branch)
Changes in the last year!
Happy demo week! Note that during this time the game doesn't use Steam for networking, so that we can have compatibility with the main game and Steam. After the demo period is over, the game will be switched back to Steam only. You don't have to create any new accounts for this.
We have put together for the community a nice graphic covering most of the changes in the past year just to show how far Exfil has come with your support!
Additional Content We are happy as well to release our community content pack to all owners of EXFIL. This community pack is small for now, just 3 new skins but we expect it to grow over time as do more and more work with the community. Special thanks to GeneralLee and Purgepapa for the skins!
Known Issues
The Steam server browser won't show any results for Exfil during the demo period, since Steam is not used for networking as previously mentioned.
T-Pose caused by missing animations when holding some utilities
Stubborn scope Optic material issue on 3x. Swap weapons to reset
Sometimes heli is spawning in trees on new map! (need to reset match)
Play EXFIL for free now through Dec 31st.
No limits. No barriers. Just pure tactics and precision!
