Another round of newly released free games was spotted on Steam. Almost all of these titles were released in late August 2025, and many of them already have a good player reception.

It seems that a good number of new free games from August 2025 went under the radar, as X user @SteamGamesPC has recently discovered many freebies that were released last month. Of course, not all of them seem worth trying, but a handful of these $0 titles have a good player reception, which are:
