If you want to enjoy tons of Steam freebies, then you better hurry as a free promotion ends in just 24 hours.
As a gamer, whether we play on PC, PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo, there’s not many worse feelings than spending money on a game we've been excited for, only for it to be a total disappointment.
Perhaps the only thing worse than wasting money is a corrupt save after investing loads of hours. Assassin’s Creed Unity and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I’m looking at you, and you’re still not forgiven.

Check out the Commandos 3 - HD Remaster trailer below!
Thankfully, while free playable demos won't save us from corrupt save files, they can at least help to save us a bit of money. With that in mind, Steam is running the ‘Wargames Fest’ promotion right now, offering loads of tidy discounts.
What’s more, it’s also promoting loads of war-themed demos that you can download and play for free right now on PC. I’ve picked out just 20 demos, found below:
- Commandos 3 HD Remaster: “Fall in, soldier! Commandos 3 - HD Remaster sends you to the relentless and unforgiving battlefields of Europe. Remastered in high definition, including reworked 3D models and textures, improved controls and refined UI.”
- Total War: SHOGUN 2: “In the darkest age of Japan, endless war leaves a country divided. It is the middle of the 16th Century in Feudal Japan. The country, once ruled by a unified government, is now split into many warring clans. Ten legendary warlords strive for supremacy as conspiracies and conflicts wither the empire.”
- Dynasty Warriors - Origins: “Tension-filled battlefields where you clash against massive armies stretching as far as the eye can see. How will you handle the onslaught of enemies?”

- Solium Infernum: “Take the Infernal Throne in this hellish turn-based grand strategy game. The Prince of Darkness has vanished, leaving Archfiends to conspire: muster your legions while intoning dark sorceries, devilish schemes, and machiavellian plots. Who will be the new ruler of Hell and ascend the Throne?”
- Regiments: “The Cold War has gone hot, and the inferno is raging. Lead your Regiment through the fires of conflict and the fog of war. Break through the lines, call in artillery, manoeuvre, feign retreats, stage defences, counter-attack. Do not relent.”
