While services like PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass require a subscription to access their catalogs, Steam continues to rely on a different model. The Valve platform regularly offers free games accessible without any conditions. This week, five new titles have just been added to the free-to-play section. They can be downloaded now and will remain permanently in your library once collected.
An eclectic selection of five free games
- Be Queen Bee
- Sandy
- Spacetime Shooter
- steamwrecked
- Trust Me, I Nailed It
This diversity makes it possible to reach different player profiles, from real-time strategy fans to sandbox or puzzle enthusiasts. Be Queen Bee offers a strategic PvE experience focused on dynamic clashes against opponents controlled online. The game focuses on fast and accessible mechanics. Sandy, on the other hand, adopts a lighter tone with a platform and puzzle game featuring a rag doll in a colorful universe.
Original and surprising experiences
Spacetime Shooter completely changes the atmosphere. This 2D top-down shooter offers a simple concept: eliminate all enemies on a map with a single precise shot. All with a quirky touch, notably the unexpected presence of ducks.
Steamwrecked falls into the sandbox adventure category with a survival approach. Its aesthetic and gameplay are reminiscent of certain space exploration games, with an emphasis on discovery and resource management.
Trust Me, I Nailed It stands out for its atypical concept combining strategy and video editing. The game boasts an impressive 97% positive review score, after briefly reaching 100% at launch.
No subscription required, a different model
One of the main advantages of Steam is the absence of a compulsory subscription to access free games. Unlike catalogs tied to a monthly payment, Steam’s free-to-play titles can be permanently added to your account. This approach allows players to discover new independent projects without financial commitment. Once downloaded, the games remain available in the library for no time limit.
A constantly expanding free library
These five additions represent only a small part of Steam’s free catalog. The platform regularly highlights new independent projects or games that have recently gone free-to-play. For PC gamers, this constant rotation provides an opportunity to discover varied, sometimes unexpected experiences with no barrier to entry. Simply log in to your Steam account, go to the relevant games page and add them to your library to keep them permanently.
