Between Steam and the Epic Games Store, PC users can claim six freebies right now, including five indie games and a $25 add-on for a free-to-play title. While most PC gamers are familiar with weekly Epic Games Store promotions and occasional 100% discounts on Steam, it’s rare to see this many freebies offered at once. This makes the week a perfect chance for PC gamers to expand their libraries without spending a cent.
Before exploring the current freebies, PC gamers should note a special opportunity on February 18 to grab a free copy of a 10/10 masterpiece. On that day, Lenovo’s Legion Gaming Community will release limited free Steam keys for Heavy Rain, one of the most acclaimed story-driven games of the 2010s. With that in mind, here are the games and add-ons PC users can claim completely free of charge right now.

List of Free PC Games Right Now
For those unfamiliar, Arabian Gulf is a first-person, single-player survival game where players must stay alive in a harsh desert using only basic tools and weapons. Magellania, on the other hand, is a tactical turn-based game with exploration elements. In this 2D title, players travel to different planets and assemble a unique team to battle various enemies. One feature that might make Magellania more interesting for turn-based RPG fans is its extensive post-game content, available after completing the main campaign.
Botany Manor is a critically acclaimed puzzle game where a botanist works to revive fantastical planets by solving puzzles and uncovering secrets within a 19th-century mansion. Botany Manor is normally priced around $25 USD, making the current 100% discount a particularly attractive offer for fans of the genre.
The Poison Retro Set isn’t a standalone game; it’s an add-on for the popular pixel-art FPS, Pixel Gun 3D. Fans will need to have the base game installed to claim the free set. Fortunately, Pixel Gun 3D is free-to-play on the Epic Games Store, so claiming its $25 add-on should be straightforward.
Finally, NightReaper2 and SunBlockers are two indie games from the same publisher with somewhat similar gameplay. In NightReaper2, players hunt souls as a stealthy reaper while avoiding vigilant cops. In SunBlockers, players must escape from zombies while staying near the light. Because these freebies are part of a developer-initiated promotion, they will remain available longer than the Epic Games Store’s usual weekly offers.
Except for Botany Manor, which has received many positive reviews on different platforms, most of the free games on the list have few user ratings. Fans should keep in mind that these are indie titles, often created by very small teams or even solo developers, so it’s best to approach them with modest expectations.
Upcoming Free PC Games on Steam and the Epic Games Store

The Epic Games Store often announces upcoming promotions in advance, which is why the next two freebies are already confirmed. Steam freebies are less predictable, though sources like SteamDB can sometimes identify games likely to receive a 100% discount by tracking changes to game files on the platform.
