Steam drops 8 new free downloads you can check out now

If you wanted eight free games to play on Steam today, then you’re in the right place.

As a gamer, there’s not much worse than spending our hard-earned cash on a game we’ve been looking forward to, only for it to absolutely suck. It’s why free playable demos are of the utmost importance because they allow us to try before we buy.

What’s more, subscription services such as PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass are also extremely valuable because we can play tons of full games for a low cost, compared to the price of a newly released AAA game.

That being said, while not a full game, the main benefit that a playable demo has over subscription services, is that it doesn't cost you a penny. With that in mind, I’ve picked out just eight free playable demos that you can check out on Steam right now.

• Ultrakill: “is a fast-paced ultraviolent retro FPS combining the skill-based style scoring from character action games with unadulterated carnage inspired by the best shooters of the '90s. Rip apart your foes with varied destructive weapons and shower in their blood to regain your health.”
• Fantasian Neo Dimension: “Embark on an adventure to discover your memories and save the world from a mechanical infection. Maneuver your skill trajectories during battle, and dive into a new dimension with a unique twist on a classic RPG experience.”
• Into the Dark - Our Darkest Days: “Texas, 1980. Walton City has fallen to a zombie outbreak. Lead a band of desperate survivors from refuge to refuge by scavenging, crafting, and fighting in a relentless struggle for survival.”
• Dynasty Warriors - Origins: “Become immersed in exhilarating battles as a nameless hero in the Three Kingdoms. Traverse 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?”
• Midnight Murder Club: “Heart-pounding and hilarious multiplayer FPS fun. Trust your senses and overcome your fears as you’re armed with a flashlight and a revolver, then set against your friends in a pitch-black mansion with immersive proximity chat and surprises around every corner.”
• EA Sports FC 25: “Hit the pitch in Kick-Off with a selection of the world’s biggest clubs, or team up with friends online for 5-a-side glory in Clubs Rush and improve your Pro up to capped level.
• Foundation: “Is a grid-less, laidback medieval city-building game with a focus on organic development, monument construction and resource management.
• Drive Beyond Horizons: “Rev up your engines and venture into the unknown with Drive Beyond Horizons! Conquer dynamic landscapes, customize your ride, and unearth hidden treasures. Get ready for heart-pounding challenges and endless excitement.”

So, there you have it, those are just eight of the many demos available on the Steam platform.
