Sir Brante Free on Steam — The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian

To celebrate The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian's launch on July 20, 2026, publisher 101XP made The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante free to claim on Steam through July 23, 2026 at 5:00 PM UTC (1:00 PM ET). Once claimed, Sir Brante stays in your library permanently — even after the promotion ends.

Prince Jerian is a standalone story, not a sequel. Playing Sir Brante first enriches the shared universe but is not required. This promotion is the best time to experience both perspectives of the Arknian Empire.

How to Claim Sir Brante Free

Open The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante on the Steam Store (App ID 1272160).

Log into your Steam account.

Click "Add to Library" — the price should show $0.00 during the promotion window.

Install anytime later; ownership is permanent once claimed before the deadline.

Why Play Sir Brante Before or After Jerian?

Sir Brante follows a Lotless/commoner rising through Magra province politics. Prince Jerian follows the crown heir governing empire-wide. Characters like Cornelius Tempest, Gaius Tempest, Egerius Monrog, and Junius Diamant appear in both.

Sir Brante holds 89% Very Positive on Steam and 82 Metacritic. Understanding Magra's revolt explains references in Jerian's mid-game crises.

The Steam free promotion is PC-only. Switch players must purchase separately.
