Every year, Valentines day is a time to be with friends and loved ones and reflect on your friendship and love. Well, not this year! In 2026, it's all about having simulated gun fights with friends and loved ones. Welcome to Steam PvP Fest 2026.
There's nothing more romantic than a space marine deathmatch.
You Deserve a Medal
Participate in a Deathmatch skirmish in Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop during Steam PvP Fest 2026 to earn a medal you can show off on your Commander Profile.
Twitch Drops
We're trying something new during this fest: Twitch drops! Watch Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop on Twitch to get a very special customized 22A3-1 Assault Rifle that tracks your kills, both against alien bugs in co-op and against other marines in deathmatch.
Link your Twitch account to be eligible for drops, then watch any Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop stream on Twitch with drops enabled for 15 minutes during Steam PvP Fest 2026 to get your prize.
If you miss it, don't worry! There will be more opportunities to earn or craft strange items in the future.
