These 12 keys can be redeemed on the PC via Steam and gets you access to the full game. None of the characters will be unlocked, but completing the tutorial will get you 2000 of the new Awesomepoints currency, which in turn can be spent to unlock some. There's also a rotation of four free-to-play characters you can enjoy every week. If you like what you see, then it looks like you can purchase the two expansions (Starstorm and Overdrive) for $5.39 each ($10.78 total) to automatically upgrade to the "All Nauts Pack". This gets you all of the Awesomenauts, past, present, and future. Here's a little handy chart for everyone that breaks some of that down.

There's been a lot of changes to Awesomenauts over the past year on the PC, including a spectator mode and a level editor via Steam Workshop, and it sounds like much of that was being done to set things up for the transition to free-to-play. The new 4.0 update is the precursor to this shift and includes some big changes to the game's progression system and the tutorial. Here's what's new:
Just a few days ago, Ronimo released their latest updates to Awesomenauts and their Starstorm expansion DLC, Patch 2.4! Through this update, are introduced to the third new playable character: Sentry-X58 (simply known as "Sentry"). A red robot with a strange fetish for telephones, Sentry is an extremely good character with a wide range of...
Voiced by Youtube personality, Dodger, Penny Fox is a nimble, but deadly warrior with a unique ability to charge up her moves and stats by attacking enemies. She's mainly a melee fighter, using her two moves, one being a Froggy G.-like "Splash Dash" move, and the other being a hadoken-ish wave that increases damage dealt to affected targets, to quickly dispatch enemies in a moment's notice. Any fan of "Assassin" type characters in MOBA's will thoroughly enjoy Penny's contribution to the roster. Just remember that she is only available to those who've purchased early access to the Awesomenauts: Starstorm expansion (currently $9).

This successfully Kickstarted expansion, releasing in its entirety in late 2014, will be opening up its early access on PC this Thursday, December 12th , containing some new customization settings, a new mode, and the first of five newest Awesomenauts characters: Ted McPain. He sounds like a total badass too, from his current bio:
Some time ago, we got word that Romino’s popular MOBA title, Awesomenauts, would be coming to the PS4 sometime after launch. However, in this crazy time of the next console gen launches, things certainly do change quite frequently. As of now, be aware that the game will be arriving much sooner than we had hoped for (and that’s a good th...
The offer is only available until Sunday 15th September so if you are thinking about checking out the game, you best do it soon. It is worth it at only $3.39; we gave the three player local co-op mode 4 out of 5 in our Co-Optimus review.

Developer Romino has been in collaboration with Abstraction Games to bring their popular 2D MOBA to the next gen, and have confirmed their game’s placement among the PS4 downloadable titles. Compared to its current console versions (PSN and XBLA), Awesomenauts’ PS4 version will include "all features the extensive PC version has" along with "tons of fixes to both code and gameplay, an extra map, more than twice the characters compared to the original release". Additionally, DLC skins will be available to customize the way your characters look, such as Clunk looking like a Creeper on the PC version.

Awesomenauts’ recent update, Patch 1.13, has Mojang and Ronimo joining forces! Robotic character, Clunk, has been given a brand new skin and sound effects that creepily familiar.

One of the more pleasant co-op surprises in this past year in gaming was the MOBA-style Awesomenauts that was initially released on PSN and XBLA. Up to three players could team up to to do some good ole fashioned comp stomping against three AI opponents in order to go laning, feed foes, and other terms that I have no idea about. However, others seem to know what's up and must be playing quite a bit. Since its release back in May, the game's seen a PC release, a slew of patches, tweaks, and updates, and even a new character or two or five. For all you fans of MOBA games that are also fervent Mac users, your day has arrived. Awesomenauts is now available on Mac through the Steam client. Finally, PC players and Mac players can team up in wonderful co-op harmony.

Like a modern day Nostradamus, Co-Optimus prides itself on being able to predict the future. A while back we had a powerful vision that the 3 player co-op game Awesomenauts would make its way onto PC and this has come to pass courtesy of Steam.
