In this first half of February 2026, Steam is once again spoiling its users with a selection of eight new games to collect without paying a cent. And better yet: they can be kept for life, without subscription or hidden conditions. A great way to refresh your library without touching your wallet.
With this new salvo, the Valve platform confirms its status as a paradise for free gaming on PC. The titles offered cover various genres, ranging from roguelike to horror games, including atypical narrative experiences. There is something for everyone, and some already have very positive reviews.
Original and well-rated titles
Probably the most popular on the list is ACE: Alice Card Episode : “ACE: Alice Card Episode is a new 2D roguelike card game developed by MAF Studio. It currently has 95% positive reviews and was released on Steam free-to-play at the end of January”. With its deckbuilding mechanics and its aesthetic inspired by Japanese animation, it quickly found its audience.
Another unexpected nugget: Down With Hell: Crystal : “Down With Hell: Crystal is an original independent platform game, with retro Super Mario accents, which promises to be a real gem”. Its nervous gameplay and old-school graphic style appeal to pixel art fans.
As for Oublietteit offers a dark adventure in a dungeon inspired by monarchical France: “Taking place under the tyrannical reign of King Louis IV de La Tour, this isometric roguelike combines action and strategy in a dark atmosphere”.
