Short window to grab OpenTTD free before it's bundled with Transport Tycoon

Transport Tycoon Deluxe has returned to Steam and GOG, available for $10 (£8.50). The re-release revives a classic that many remember from afternoons at the computer building railways, rollercoasters and, for some reason, pizza. Atari, which acquired the rights to Transport Tycoon from Chris Sawyer in 2024, said it would use its ownership to "expand digital and physical distribution, potentially develop new titles or content, and explore brand and merchandising collaborations as part of a long-term plan to preserve and expand this classic sim." This Steam and GOG release appears to be the first step in that plan.

OpenTTD’s Steam blurb now states that "OpenTTD will no longer be directly available as a standalone game on Steam. It can instead be obtained as part of a bundle alongside the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe." If you already own OpenTTD on Steam, nothing changes: you will continue to receive updates and the game will remain in your Steam library if you need to re-download it.
