At any point during July 2026, free games will be available on Steam, Amazon Prime Gaming, Epic Games Store, IndieGala, or other PC stores. The giveaways range from small indie darlings with barely any reviews to massive AAA projects that used to cost $69.99. Provided someone diligently keeps up with everything, they should be able to expand their library by roughly 30–50 titles by just picking up July 2026’s free games.
Console stores don’t typically hand out freebies, but Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus receive more than a dozen new games per month, and that’s the next best thing. July 2026 has already confirmed Halo: Campaign Evolved for Game Pass, so the month is already stacked. To help ensure everyone claims every free July 2026 game they want, we will keep this article updated with all new giveaways.
I am including PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass for completionists’ sake, and I’ll add Nintendo Switch Online if they announce anything. They aren’t really free, but there is no harm in listing them. EA Play and Ubisoft+ Premium are not included.
Active Free Games
Steam Free Games
Tell Me Why
Starting July on a relatively high note, Steam’s Tell Me Why giveaway finally comes to an end after roughly 3 weeks. Divided into 3 chapters, Dontnod’s game is an easy recommendation for Life is Strange fans, even if it is not set in the same world. Follow twins as they attempt to solve a mystery involving their childhoods.
Best Free Games To Claim Right Now (2026): Steam, PlayStation, Xbox & More
Claim free games right now on Steam, Epic Games Store, and Amazon Luna, while PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass are always adding new games.
Epic Games Store Giveaways
Voidwrought
Epic Games Store’s weekly free games start July with two pretty interesting giveaways. Although not the most well-known or highly regarded Metroidvanias, Voidwrought is a fantastic pick for this promotion due to being obscure enough to ensure that most people don’t own it.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition
- Giveaway End Date: July 2, 2026 @ 8 AM PT; 11 AM EST; 5 PM CEST
- Usual Price: $19.99
- Epic Games Store Page: RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
An all-time classic, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition lets you create the theme park of your dreams and your clientele’s nightmares. The complete edition includes two expansions that let you create a water park or a safari zone. While the management sim shows its age at times, its enduring popularity speaks for itself.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge (Mobile)
In recent months, the Epic Games Store has expanded its weekly free games to include one mobile title that must be redeemed through its app. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is the current pick, and it is among the best beat ’em up games of all time. You will need to follow a few steps to install the game, but it is worth the effort.
A Simple Garbage Sorting Game
Personally, I don’t actually have access to A Simple Garbage Sorting Game as the giveaway isn’t available in my region. However, KK Studio and YCJacob’s exploration puzzle game has a very positive reputation overall, and it can easily be completed in about an hour.
Amazon Luna (Requires Amazon Prime Membership)
Free Games For GOG, Epic Games Store, and Amazon Games
Amazon Prime Gaming, aka Amazon Luna, is arguably the best source for free PC games, as the store seems to always have more than a dozen giveaways available. As long as a subscriber has an Amazon Prime account, they can claim these freebies, which are redeemable across a range of platforms, like the Epic Games Store and GOG. Although most are relatively small titles, Amazon Prime Gaming frequently hands out big names, even if they might be a few years old.
In July 2026, you can claim these games: Mafia 3, Survival: Fountain of Youth, Paradise Killer, Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered, G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra, and Sugardew Island, and that’s far from a complete lineup. The giveaways all end on different days, so I recommend chekcing the lineup often to make sure you don’t miss anything.
Once you claim a game through Amazon Luna, it is yours – no Amazon Prime or Amazon Luna subscription required to play.
The listed dates are when the giveaways end.

Xbox Free Game Bonus: Tell Me Why
Consoles don’t typically hand out completely free games, but Xbox owners can currently add Dontnod’s Tell Me Why to their libraries. Microsoft hasn’t revealed when this giveaway will end; at least I couldn’t find that information, so I recommend picking it up as quickly as possible. The game is free on PC until July 1, so it could be the same on Xbox.
