Pico Park: Classic Edition Accidentally Made Free on Steam

On October 5, 2025, Pico Park creator Shunsuke Miyako announced that Pico Park: Classic Edition had been accidentally made free on Steam. Due to Steam’s policies, once a game is switched from paid to free twice, it cannot be returned to a paid status. Miyako explained in an X post, “I tried updating it and going back to paid, but I forgot that once you go from paid to free, you can never go back to paid!”

The Classic Edition, a multiplayer puzzle game for up to 10 players, has received very positive reviews on Steam. The accidental free release led to a spike in player numbers, reaching a new all-time peak on October 7. Miyako encouraged players to enjoy the free version and explore the rest of the series, which includes Pico Park and Pico Park 2.

That’s hilarious but awesome! Steam users must’ve gone crazy downloading it. Hope the devs take it as free promotion instead of a loss.

I grabbed it the moment I saw it was free. Classic Pico Park is pure fun — even better when it’s a surprise like this.
