If you're looking for something new to play this weekend but can't spare any cash because every trip to the supermarket feels like you've just been mugged at knifepoint these days, we've got just the thing for you: free games.

Yep, we've got all the latest free games you can currently download and keep forever via Steam. At the time of writing there are currently 31 new free games available via the platform, which I think we can all agree qualifies as a large amount of free games for your PC.
