The Steam library continues to expand, and it's not just paid titles that are added from time to time. Every week, the platform gets a handful of freebies, and many of these newly added free games have been spotted.

Steam has expanded its free game library once again, and just like in mid-October 2025, a handful of newly added freebies have been spotted. Of course, not all of these free games appear to be worth trying, as many of them don't have an official player rating yet. As for the ones that have already been well-received, they are:

  • Game for Aliens - released on October 16, it's an indie action game that lets players use 20 different weapons to fight aliens. It currently features a "Positive" rating with 11 reviews.
