Idle Deep Rock Galactic hours - free, 24/7, no PC required
DRG's community venerates 'greybeards' - high-hour veterans - and modded Hazard 6+ lobbies quietly prefer them. The game drops a 6-card set with beloved dwarf art, and its badge is a favorite among co-op gamers. Rock and stone hours, even idled ones, buy you respect in the lobby.
Deep Rock Galactic sits at the heart of the friendliest co-op community on Steam - and one that respects greybeards. FreeSteamIdler keeps your account marked as in-game around the clock from our servers: you gain 168 hours of Deep Rock Galactic playtime every week without launching the game, leaving your PC on, or installing anything. Start on the free plan (100 hours, renewable forever) and upgrade only if you want more games at once.
Because Deep Rock Galactic is a paid title, Steam grants it 6 trading card drops based purely on playtime - worth roughly $0.14 each on the Community Market on average. Switch on our Card Farmer and those drops are collected automatically while you idle, often covering the cost of a paid package by themselves.
