PC Gamers: 6 Free Games to Grab Now on Steam & Epic Games Store
Are you ready to expand your digital library without spending a dime? This week, PC gamers have a golden opportunity to claim six free games across Steam and the Epic Games Store—but you’ll need to act quickly before these offers vanish. Whether you’re a fan of co-op zombie action, tactical strategy, or indie adventures, there’s something for everyone in this limited-time lineup.
Why Free Game Drops Matter for PC Gamers
The PC gaming ecosystem is renowned for its frequent giveaways, allowing players to amass impressive collections without the need for paid subscriptions. Unlike consoles, where “free” often means “with a subscription,” most PC freebies are genuinely no-strings-attached. This week’s batch is a prime example, with both Steam and Epic Games Store offering a diverse slate of titles—if you know where (and when) to look.
But with tight deadlines and rotating offers, it’s easy to miss out. Here’s your complete guide to what’s available, when to claim, and why these games are worth your attention.
Free Steam Games: What’s Available Right Now
Steam’s free game promotions can be unpredictable, but this week brings a trio of standout titles—each catering to different tastes. Here’s what you can add to your library:
-
Ultimate Zombie Defense (until July 15)
A co-op zombie survival game supporting up to four players. Build bases, choose from eight unique characters, and fend off relentless undead hordes. Perfect for fans of fast-paced, team-based action. -
Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock (until July 17)
