Steam drops 15 free games you can download and keep in hefty giveaway

2025 promises to be an absolute corker of a year for video games, with some massive releases on the way.

After a few delays, March will see the launch of a brand-new Assassin's Creed. We're also getting a new console in the form of the Nintendo Switch 2, and as far as the official word is concerned, GTA VI is coming this year.

There's a lot to get through, to be sure, but if you just can't wait - or you're gaming on a budget - we've rounded up 15 of the newest games currently available to download and play for free on Steam.

You won't find any AAA heavy hitters here, but have a sift through and you might just find something weird and wonderful to grab your attention.

Here are 15 of the (many) free games you can currently download and keep via Steam right now:

• TDP4: Team Battle - A 2D multiplayer shooter with MMORPG elements.
• Wonderland X: Next Dream - A fantasy RPG with some really positive reviews.
• Valient Worlds: Adventure of Falken - An action-RPG with an incredibly striking visual style. I'm not sure if valiant has been misspelled as an intentional choice or not.
• Puck - An incredible fun-looking stripped back hockey game. I'm definitely checking this one out myself.
• Odyssey: Realm of Echoes- A 3D platformer with serious Minecraft vibes.
• Stellarion- Explore the cosmos in your very own ship, gather resources, and defend your craft.
• Only The Lost Shall See- Sees players go on a pilgrimage through a stunning world.

• Hunter Hitman- A top-down shooter with some nice Hotline Miami inspirations.
• Champi- A tower-defense game where you defend your structures from mushrooms.
• Rogue Rubber- Rubber ducks messing each other up. Perfect.
• Wood and Flesh: A Candleforth Short Story- A point-and-click adventure game with unique hand-drawn visuals.
• Wild Ones Battle Stadium- If you like Worms... maybe go play Worms. But if you can't play Worms, this'll do.
• REVEREX: DX- A bananas-looking WarioWare style minigame fest.
• Drewdler- Fun name, weird looking platforming action.
