PC gamers have the opportunity to claim four free games this week on Steam and the Epic Games Store. These limited-time freebies offer a diverse range of gaming experiences, from horror to hardcore platforming.
Steam Free Games
On Steam, players can download Paragnosia for free until 2024-02-23 at 2:00am CST. This horror game combines elements of Five Nights at Freddy's and Phasmophobia, challenging players to use a rail camera to detect and exorcise paranormal entities. Another Steam offering, BROTHER!!! Save Him!, is available for free until 2024-02-24 at 12:00pm CST. Known for its extreme difficulty, this platformer caters to fans of ultra-tough gaming challenges.
Epic Games Store Offerings
The Epic Games Store is featuring two free games until 2024-02-26 at 10:00am CST. Return to Ash is a narrative-driven visual novel exploring themes of the afterlife. Meanwhile, STALCRAFT X: Starter Edition offers a free-to-play MMO/FPS/RPG hybrid experience, with the Starter Edition usually priced at $24.99. It includes weapons, artifacts, cosmetics, and consumables.
While Steam's free giveaways are organized by developers and publishers and can be unpredictable, the Epic Games Store consistently releases free titles weekly on Thursdays at 10:00am CST. Following the current offerings, Epic will replace the freebies with Boxes: Lost Fragments and My Night Job, available from 2024-02-26 until 2024-03-05.
