The best free games on Steam in 2023

IF you have a gaming PC or Steam deck, you want an awesome games library to go with it.

However, not all Steam games come cheap, and we often don’t have the patience to wait until one of Steam’s big seasonal deals.

But that’s okay because there are a huge number of free games on Steam that you can play right now.

Here are the best free games to play on Steam in 2023.

Free Steam Games: Dota 2

Dota 2 may celebrate its tenth anniversary this year, but it remains one of the most played games on Steam.

It features intense 5v5 hero battles with intricate deep gameplay.

Dota 2 isn’t particularly beginner-friendly, but it’s perfect for players who didn’t find League of Legends engaging enough.

Even better, you don’t have to purchase or unlock a single character. All 124 are available from the start.

Free Steam Games: Team Fortress 2

This is a classic game developed by Valve itself, and its cartoon aesthetic and childish sense of humor are timeless.

Choose one of nine different classes and jump into one of TF2’s different game modes.

Each class has a completely different way of playing, making TF2 one of the most replayable games of all time.

Oh, and there are almost 900 hats to collect and wear. What’s not to love.

Free Steam Games: Lost Ark

Lost Ark is like playing Diablo if Diablo were set in an anime-style fantasy world.

It’s an MMO, but it plays more like an action role-playing game with its fun combat abilities.

However, it still has the scope, story and community of your standard MMO, giving you the best of both worlds.

Lost Ark has a huge player base, so new content is constantly being added over time.

Free Steam Games: Marvel Snap

If deck building card games are more your style then don’t miss Marvel Snap.

Developed by Ben Brode, the man behind Hearthstone, Marvel Snap has been popular with gamers from the start.

What is unique about this game is that each match is over in three rounds, making it easy to pick up and play.

There’s a wide range of options for great decks featuring your favorite Marvel superheroes and villains.

Halo infinity

Fans have had issues with how slowly 343 Industries is producing new content, but Halo Infinite is still one of the best free-to-play shooters.

It includes familiar weapons and vehicles from the series that you can use in online multiplayer battles.

The Forge also means players can create their own custom maps, and there are plenty of excellent ones to try out.

If you are bored with Warzone 2.0 then this is a great option to try.
