Steam gamers surprised with 6 new free downloads you can grab now

You know the drill by now.

If you’re looking to game on a budget on PC, you’re going to want to head on over to Steam.

The storefront is, of course, packed with an array of stellar deals but so too is it home to an ever-expanding catalogue of free-to-play delights.

It’s important that gaming remains accessible to all budgets, so I’m here to highlight the latest six free additions - as reported by SteamGamesPC.

The first is indie developer’s Petr Simůnek’s Sidecar Evolution 2024, a MMO sidecar racer that’ll see you compete with up to 39 other players.

There are 15 vehicles to choose from, spanning 110 years of vehicular history, and you’ll ride those vehicles across 40 different tracks and 10 different biomes.

Then we have Four Guys, One Burger’s Burger Kombat which tasks you with putting together randomly spawned ingredients in the hopes of creating the world’s finest burger.

I will warn you, some game art was generated using AI so do keep that in mind.

Astro Bot launches on PS5 tomorrow. Take a look at the game’s trailer below.

In solo developer’s Hakim L’Ermite’s Narava RPG, you have the opportunity to explore a magical open world.

It’s up to you to thwart the plans of a tyrannical king, with the game centering around elemental and chakra based powers, including flame breath, multi-cloning, and air strangulation.

For you turn-based fans, studio HoriZon has launched 5 Crowns.

In this tactical RPG, you’ll lead your troops into battle as a royal war breaks out between two neighbouring kingdoms.

The game claims to boast a “punishing” difficulty but do be warned, this one only supports French as a language so I hope you know your chat from your chien.

Next up is Sentience’s South Pole Bebop which is another turn-based strategy title.

“Create a unique deck of ability cards and characters. Eliminate the opponent while fending off a zombie horde. Become a saviour of The South Pole,” the synopsis teases.

The last is the Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool which is less of a game and more a way to see if your PC is capable of running Game Science’s controversial yet popular new title.

All are available to download now for free.
