Best free Steam games

What are the best free Steam games? If you are bored and penniless, you don't need to fear a gaming drought. Steam is full of games to play without spending a penny (no, not like that). What's more, many of them are very good indeed: games that are just as much fun to play as their full-price, wallet-destroying siblings.


In recent years, free games have become the norm, with some even overtaking paid-for triple-A tiles as the leaders of the PC gaming hobby. Take a quick look at Steam's most-played list and you'll see that a significant proportion of the biggest games in the world happen to be free-to-play.


So, because we desperately care about the health of your bank account - and honestly worry about how much money you're spending on your nasty gaming habit - we want to help you find all the free games worth your time. Below you'll find a bounty of free Steam games, all available to download and play right now. What are you waiting for?
