Gaming Free Games thread

Is there any workaround to get games like these?
Via JavaScript, SteamDB or something like that?

Not sure, maybe @marsilies can help? I usually add all those Steam games via ASF command: !addlicense asf a/1697310
As for JavaScript: javascript:AddFreeLicense(1697310)

the only workaround is having a secondary account in a country where it is not blocked.

I have a secondary account in the Netherlands which I use to purchase games not available in germany.

Since I haven't seen anything like it on this forum, I decided to start a thread where people can post links to the games that go free for a short period of time, be it straight from Steam or from other sites offering keys. I will be posting links to the ones I know of, so anyone who knows about other games being temporarily free and are for keeps rather than just free weekends or stuff like that can post a link.


If I find any more, I'll post them on this thread, but I won't be updating this first comment, just go to the last post to find the most up-to-date ones.

Thread has turned into ANY freebies, not just Steam, so heads up!


Instructions for the posts:
-Game Name
-Link to the page where you can get it for free (eg: Steam or humblebundle)
-Expiration date if possible and normal price
-Steps for getting it (eg: requiring account or stuff like that)

So, at this time, the ones I know of are:

Sid Meier's Civilization III: Complete
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/sid-meiers-civilization-iii-complete
Expires in about 7 and a half hours (normal price is 4.99€)
Requires humblebundle account, login, add to cart and checkout, then redeem code

Memories of a Vagabond
https://www.indiegala.com/anime?src=menu
Don't know when it expires (normal price is 4.99€)
Requires account and to have linked your Steam account to it too. Once you have done that, scroll to the middle of the page where it has a link to Memories of a Vagabond Steam page along with buttons for sharing it on social media, click the little X button to hide those, then click on "Claim free copy", do the captcha and proceed, then you will get your key.

Blockstorm
Same page as one above, if you get Memories of a Vagabond, you automatically get this one too (the code will be shown on the redeem page straight away so you might miss it)
Don't know when it expires (normal price is 4.99€ but is currently on sale on steam for 0.99€)

If anyone else knows of any freebies available, then feel free to post them. Let's all have Steam libraries with tons of games!

Been really enjoying moonlighter on steam, it becomes free from time to time, and the 2nd game released recently

This one's going free to paid on Steam:

it says Friend's Pass on the store page, and demo in my licenses page, is that it?

It's already switched to paid, the window between the announcement to going paid, and going paid, was rather small.

The announcement was made yesterday November 11, 2026 @ 3:06 PM EST
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3665520/view/690899935132909797

TL;DR: Players were playing for hours and weren't buying cosmetics, but I still had to cover server and development costs. This caused my bank account to plunge into the negatives:​

So instead of ramping up the microtransactions into ultra-greedy territory or shutting down the Steam version entirely, I’m switching the game to a paid model with a Friends Pass:

• If you already own the game, it stays in your library for free.
• If you own the base game, you can invite friends to play with you through the Friends Pass. Only one person in each group needs to own the game.

I'm working with the Steam Team to make the switch, which will occur as soon as they press the button. Now's your chance to get the game for free

I checked this morning, probably around 10am, but definitely before my 11am EST post here, and it was already paid, so less than 19 hours between announcing it was going paid, and it was switched to paid.

Also, this is apparently the "old" version of the game:

WARNING: THE STEAM "OG EDITION" OF THE GAME IS OLD AND HAS LIMITED FEATURES. IT WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND DOES NOT HAVE PUBLIC MATCHMAKING. ONLY PLAY IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH THIS!

The next version of the game isn't out yet, but looks like it's going to be exclusively for Meta Quest VR headsets.
