Steam Officially Adds 6 New Free Games You Can Keep Forever (November 14)

Published Nov 14, 2026, 12:30 AM EST Known as 'Cyberpunk 2077's' biggest fan, Angharad is a Welsh games writer who thrives in anything related to digital storytelling. If a video game explores the intricacies and horrors of womanhood, she is there. Thanks to previous work at GAMINGbible, GameByte, The Loadout, Game Luster, Angharad has built a strong understanding of both the digital world and what fans want from it and is eager to share her thoughts and expertise with readers. The weekend is upon us once more, and whilst we wait for the launch of perhaps the biggest game of all time, what better way to pass the time than by diving into an underrated gem or a game that just so happens to cost absolutely nothing to play and add to your Steam library. Well, courtesy of the PC storefront, you can now grab a whopping six new games at no cost and no catch. So, if you are interested in a PvPvE and single-player roguelite, a surreal story-driven game, a time-loop defense shooter, and much more, we have you covered. First up is Kingslayers, a "PvPvE and single-player roguelite where turn-based doesn’t mean slow." Developed by BortDad and launching earlier this month, players will need to outbuild and outspeed their opponents across a shared run. Then, when they have both reached the finish line, they will need to go head-to-head in PvP combat to determine the winner. With multiple builds to explore and ranks to climb, this freebie offers hours of unfiltered fun. Next is Vanakatu, a surreal story-driven game that combines puzzle solving with Guitar Hero-esque battles. Add in some open-world exploration and an evil uncle, and you will need to help Van Cat as he attempts to thwart his uncle's plans. As the solo developer wrote, "This is an open-world story about VAN CAT (that's his name, no affiliations with vehicles), a duduk player from a regular family, who tracks down his CULT-LEADING UNCLE to talk him out of creating a WORLDWIDE DICTATORSHIP!!!" You could also try Temporal Strike, a time-loop defense shooter where you and your squad will need to stop the forces of orcs, boar riders, and even mechs. With a 38-node upgrade tree to climb, you will be able to unlock more units, beat the boss waves, and then rewind time to do it all over again, albeit with permanent upgrades. Putting a unique spin on the genre, this is one you will not want to miss. A list of freebies would not be complete without a horror game, and Property Inspection is the latest psychological horror game on the market. In this title, you will take on the role of Inspector 8821-A of Structural Core Services, and after Unit 47 has reported mysterious events, it will be up to you to check them out. By investigating a series of stickers left behind by the children who live there, you will need to peel them, inspect them, and tick the box, but surely it is not that simple? On the other hand, Townlet is the perfect game for those who like to play and work at the same time. By downloading this charming freebie, you will see a cute medieval village appear on top of your desktop's taskbar. Not only that, but every file you choose to delete from your PC will fall from the sky and ultimately be turned into something new by your villagers. The more you work, the more your town will grow. Last, but by no means least, is Grandma Left Me A Building, a cozy apartment management sim where you will be tasked with restoring the apartment complex your grandmother left you. As such, it will be up to you to find tenants, collect rent, and upgrade the place, but with a guitar-shredding elf and a philosophy-lecturing yeti as neighbors, you get the feeling that becoming a landlord is not that easy after all.
