Wargaming is celebrating the 8th anniversary of World of Warships on Steam with a pile of free loot and some of the steepest discounts we've seen. From now until November 26, players can grab a free DLC bundle that includes a unique permanent camouflage for the German cruiser V Königsberg, along with some Premium Account time.
This anniversary event is live now and offers a solid reason to log in, whether you're a veteran captain or new to the game. The headline reward is the "Steam Cat" permanent camouflage, earned by completing a straightforward combat mission chain. Getting a perma-camo for free is always a win, as it permanently cuts down on your post-battle resupply costs and provides a standard XP boost for the Königsberg.
Free Bundle and Community Mission
To get your hands on the free DLC, you'll need to claim it and then tackle the associated mission chain in-game. Beyond the camo and Premium time, there's also a community-wide mission. All players who achieve 8 victories during the event period will earn rewards. If you're playing through Steam, completing this mission also gets you an entry into a special giveaway pool for even more potential loot.
What about the DLC sales?
This is where things get really interesting for anyone looking to expand their fleet. Eight different DLC packs are on sale with discounts ranging from 50% all the way up to 90% off. If you've been eyeing a particular premium ship or a starter pack to boost your resources, now is the time to check the Steam store. A 90% discount is about as good as it gets, making it a prime opportunity to add some powerful hardware to your port for a fraction of the usual cost.
As a final touch for dedicated fans, an animated "Steam-chan" wallpaper has been released on Wallpaper Engine. The entire celebration wraps up on November 26, 2025, so make sure to claim your free bundle and check out the sales before then.
