Steam Banishes Boredom, Drops Eight More Free Games

Steam users can banish the boredom this weekend and beyond by downloading these eight free games today.

It’s always a nice bonus when we can claim free games, no questions asked.

Well, other than needing a PC/console and, in most cases, an internet connection. But you catch my drift.

Whether it’s a major AAA release or an indie darling, it can not only be a blast enjoying a game that we’ve been looking forward to, but it’s arguably even better when we can claim a game for free, such as these eight Steam delights.

As brought to our attention by the Twitter account Free Steam Games, what follows are the eight titles in question that you can download and keep today (12 November).
