Cult classic metal game made free for 666 minutes in memory of Ozzy Osbourne

Brutal Legend, the metal-heavy action-adventure game starring Jack Black, is currently free to claim and keep, but only for 666 minutes as a tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.

Originally released in 2009, Brutal Legend is a metal-inspired blend of open-world exploration and intense action. It’s a fresh spin on the action-driving genre, filled with demons, enslaved humanity, and a world built from heavy metal album art.

Now, it’s free, but only for a short while, 666 minutes to be exact. The move comes after news broke that Ozzy Osbourne had died, sending shockwaves through the metal community and beyond. Fans are devastated, and many have been offering tributes, like Double Fine, the creators of Brutal Legend.

Now, fans have just 11 hours and 6 minutes to grab the $14.99 game for free on PC.

In Brutal Legend, you play as Eddie Riggs, voiced by Jack Black, a roadie who gets pulled into a brutal fantasy world where your weapons include a battle axe and an electric guitar. The game doesn’t just reference metal, it lives and breathes it. The soundtrack is stacked with legendary tracks, and the cast includes metal icons like Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, and Ozzy himself.

Ozzy even plays a role in the game too, voicing The Guardian of Metal, which feels extremely fitting for an Ozzy Osbourne character.

Sure, it’s a 16-year-old game, but Brutal Legend is just made for metal fans. It’s loud, weird, funny, and packed with love for the genre. And now it’s free to own, if you can claim it in time. Once the timer runs out, it’ll be $14.99 again.
