Steam Free Games January 2026: Claim These 7 New Titles Now

Steam users are in for a treat. The popular storefront has released a veritable explosion of free games. You can claim 7 new titles right now, completely free of charge. This follows a strong few weeks for the platform, which recently gave away Caveman World: Mountains of Unga Boonga.

While Steam always hosts plenty of free-to-play titles, these specific drops deserve your attention. If you pick them up and dislike them, there is no harm done. Free is always nice.

The 7 New Free Games on Steam

You can add these games to your library immediately. The list spans various genres, from multiplayer brawlers to indie simulators.

  1. Ktrl Smash:
    This is a chaotic, fast-paced arena brawler. Your goal is simply to get the most kills before the timer hits zero. The game features stylised characters and antics-based weapons like baseball bats and chairs.
  2. Poker Fate:
    Fans of anime will enjoy this one. It blends Texas Hold’em with 2D characters for a fanservice-heavy experience. It offers a niche mix of online multiplayer card gameplay and stylised visuals.
  3. Space Aces:
    This indie arcade shooter delivers classic top-down space combat. It features modern upgrades, multiple ship builds, and tight controls.
  4. Humanoid:
    If you prefer minimalism, try this retro action game. It throws players into frantic run-and-gun combat across dozens of compact rooms with strict time pressure.
  5. Drunk Driving Simulator:
    This physics-driven indie simulator leans into absurdity. You must control a car as visibility and handling worsen. It focuses on chaos and intentionally frustrating controls, though it does not glorify dangerous real-world actions.
  6. Rogue Slots:
    This roguelike turns a slot machine into its core gameplay loop. You spin reels to trigger attacks, upgrades, and passive effects.
  7. Once Upon a Shell:
    Finally, check out this roguelike racing game. It uses a charming storybook art style based on the Hare and Tortoise fable. You play as the Tortoise and must find upgrades to win fast.

Act Quickly

You need to move fast. It is uncertain how long these 7 games will remain free. Furthermore, the 8-player game Billie’s Wheelie is also available, but only until January 10. Since today is January 9, you have less than 24 hours to claim it.

Steam users should keep an eye out for these drops to compete with the weekly Epic Games Store giveaways. Go to the storefront and claim your copies now.
