PC users can claim four free games right now, including a 2023 hand-drawn indie title with “Positive” reviews on Steam. Some of these freebies will be leaving soon, so PC players will need to act fast if they don’t want to miss out on August’s promotions.
The final days of August have brought one of those rare moments when several giveaways coincide, giving PC users a list of fun games to add to their libraries at no cost. The good news is that the next wave of free games is expected soon, with platforms like the Epic Games Store already announcing its freebies for the first week of September. Until then, players can enjoy the last batch of August giveaways.
All Free PC Games Right Now
PC users can currently claim Carlos the Taco, Walking Survival, Machinarium, and Make Way. Buying these four titles would normally cost about $40 USD, making this a great opportunity, especially for fans of experimental indie games. Of these giveaways, Walking Survival‘s offer will end the soonest, going premium again on August 31. For the Epic Games Store, Machinarium and Make Way are available until September 4, while IndieGala’s Carlos the Taco promotion has no announced end date.
As for gameplay, Carlos the Taco is a short 2D adventure platformer that takes about one to two hours to complete. Its hand-drawn artwork and quirky sense of humor give it a distinctive charm that many players may appreciate. Walking Survival, on the other hand, is a shoot-’em-up similar to Brotato. Players are dropped into an arena with endless waves of enemies and must survive using spellcasting abilities and the power-ups they collect.
The Epic Games Store’s free titles for August are much more relaxing than the other two. Make Way is a top-down racing game with charming visuals reminiscent of toy cars. Machinarium, on the other hand, is a critically acclaimed puzzle adventure with atmospheric graphics and a rich story. Originally released in 2009, it maintains a cult following among puzzle game fans.
Epic Games Store users can also look forward to two more giveaways on September 4: Monument Valley and The Battle of Polytopia. Both will be available for a week once the current promotions end. Steam users may also have something to anticipate in September, as recent data suggests that 911 Operator, a crisis management simulation, could be offered for free, though this has yet to be officially confirmed.
