The limited-time free distribution means players who claim the early access version during the period can own it permanently, lowering the barrier for a co-op game that requires a partner.

Developer EdenSpiel released the early access version of the co-op action game 'Sixth Force' on Steam on June 23, 2026, and simultaneously announced a limited-time free distribution period. The game is a two-player cooperative action adventure set in a candy-themed world called Candyland. Two characters are connected by a mysterious bond energy that prevents them from separating beyond a certain distance. Players must cooperate using psychic powers to float each other and an energy whip to grab, swing, pull, or destroy objects. The game supports local co-op with two controllers, online co-op via Steam Remote Play Together, and solo play where one controller's sticks control each character. The early access version includes two stages as a prologue, offering about one hour of gameplay. The early access period is planned to last three to six months, with additional content to be added. The free distribution allows players who add the game to their Steam library during the limited period to keep it permanently.
A demo version of 'Sixth Force' was released in February 2025, leading to the early access launch on June 23. The game uses a fixed-camera 3D perspective, and the two characters are color-coded red and blue. Each character's energy whip can interact with colored objects that only one of them can affect. Basic actions include jumping and using psychic powers to make the other character float, enabling cooperative traversal of obstacles. The energy between the two characters acts like a rope, catching on obstacles and requiring coordination. The early access version currently contains two prologue stages, with the full early access period expected to last three to six months. EdenSpiel plans to implement more content and polish during that time. The game is available on PC via Steam, and the free distribution period is ongoing for a limited time.
