Steam is absolutely riddled with free games if you know where to look, and fortunately we know exactly where to look.

There are, at the time of writing, no less than 23 new free games available to download and keep via Steam. No need for subscriptions or any of that nonsense, just head to the Steam page for the game you like the look of and make it yours.

I know right now you could probably dive into something like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth or Balatro, but the 23 games below are perfect for gamers on a tight budget.

So, without further ado, let's dive right in!

Toy Shire: Room One - I especially love the look of this one. Think Toy Story meets Tower Defense. What a combo.
No Love Lost - A vibe-y extraction shooter.
Pixel Royale 3D - A kind of Minecraft style battle royale. Looks pretty fun!
Skelethrone: The Prey - A dark metroidvania fantasy RPG.
Dreamland - This one look completely wild to be honest, like Fortnite crossed with a VR chatroom on steroids.
The Showdown Effect: Reloaded - A fast-paced 2D shooter that actually looks like it could be a ton of fun.
Genopanic: Prologue - A really gorgeous looking pixel-art metroidvania.
Final Dash - Some kind of 2D endless runner/platformer. Seems pretty cute.
CastingPlz - An adorable two-player adventure game about lil' wizards.
Kingdom: The Blood - "I got this for free and still feel scammed," reads the top review. Make of that what you will.
Pipe Escape - A 2D puzzle platformer that lets you live out your dream of being a pipe.
Special Force Legion Of Monsters - I'm not going to lie to you, this one has mostly negative reviews. Avoid unless you're really interested.
RaceTrap - A cute looking arcade racer.
Duel Revolution - Doesn't look a thing like Pokémon. Nope. Nothing to see here, Nintendo lawyers.
Meta-Ghost: Prologue - A really stunning looking cyberpunk rougelike.
Bolt 'N' Punch - A fun, stylish beat 'em up set in a food factory.
Guano - You play as an asshole seagull. That's the entire premise, but it's a strong one.
Night Runners - Looks an awful lot like a Need For Speed game set in Japan, which is definitely not a bad thing.
World War Next - A free-to-play low poly FPS that looks like it could be a good amount of silly fun.
Operation Space Force - Another free-to-play shooter, though this one is set in space. I'm sure you probably could've worked that out from the title, though.
World of Shooting - A first-person shooting sports sim that aims to offer a more realistic experience. Instead of running around shooting bad guys in the face, you try being a responsible gun owner and shoot targets.
Moon Rider - A really rather striking looking adventure game that claims to be all about soul searching. Sounds like it could be an interesting experience.
The Tipping Point - A free educational game designed to teach kids about climate science. Whip it out in your classroom and become the coolest teacher ever.
