PC gamers are currently eating good. 2026 has kicked off to an excellent start for bargain hunters, and the momentum from the holiday season is still going strong. Right now, Steam and the Epic Games Store are offering several titles completely free of charge. However, you need to act fast. Some of these free games expire within the next 24 hours.
If you want to expand your library without paying a single penny, here is everything you need to know about the latest freebies.
Steam Offers: Witches & Platformers
Steam users currently have three different games up for grabs. The standout title is Along the Edge. You can claim this narrative-driven visual novel until January 29 at 12:00 PM CST / 11:00 PM PKT.
Along the Edge tells the story of Daphne. She moves to the French countryside after a painful breakup and the loss of her baby. There, she attempts to start a new life but discovers she comes from a line of witches. The game features romance options and branching story paths based on your choices. It holds a “Very Positive” rating from users and has earned praise from critics for its art style.
For fans of action, Steam also offers two platformers:
- Cursedland: A 2D platformer focused on comedy and challenging gameplay. It is free until February 1.
- Kiki: A 3D platformer where you must navigate dangerous hazards. This offer lasts until January 31.
Epic Games Store: Medieval Crime & Chicken Shops
The Epic Games Store continues its tradition of weekly giveaways. Currently, you can snag Rustler, a “GTA-like” medieval action game. While it earned mixed reviews, fans of old-school Grand Theft Auto games may find it entertaining. This offer ends on January 29 at 10:00 AM CST / 9:00 PM PKT.
Once Rustler cycles out, a new title takes its place immediately. Starting January 29, players can claim Definitely Not Fried Chicken. This simulation game tasks you with running a fried chicken restaurant as a front for a drug empire, drawing clear inspiration from “Breaking Bad”.
