All August 2026 Free Games You Can Claim

Updated on August 22, 2026, by Mark Sammut: The article has been brought up to date and now lists all the current free games. Make sure to check the Amazon Luna/Prime Gaming freebies, as a couple of new ones have been added.

August 2026’s free games continue to be available in droves, particularly for PC users. Amazon Prime Gaming (aka Amazon Luna), Steam, Epic Games Store, and even smaller platforms like Itch.io consistently give away both AAA and indie games, and most of them require nothing more than an account and the will to click a few buttons. The sheer volume of freebies, and their relatively short spells, makes it fairly exhausting to keep track of everything, and it doesn’t take much to miss out on something you might want. Act now rather than later.

Console owners don’t get anywhere near as many free games, but they can at least look forward to new titles being added to PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass​​​​​. Each month sees the arrival of a few major names, and August 2026’s games have been rather fantastic. Helldivers 2 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 are now available for PS5 owners, while Xbox Series users are playing Beast of Reincarnation and will soon get Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.

Don’t miss out on a single free game.

Active Free Games

Steam Free Games

First-Person Data Explorer

This one is a bit of a special case: First-Person Data Explorer is currently a free early-access game, but it will become a paid product on August 24. Pick it up before then.

Epic Games Store Giveaways

Cardpocalypse

For this week’s freebie, the Epic Games Store delivers Cardpocalypse, a game soaked in ’90s nostalgia goodness. Set predominantly around an elementary school, you play a new student who immediately causes a popular card game to become banned. Not a great start, but things get weirder when monsters from the game start to manifest, forcing the kids to save the day.

Amazon Luna / Prime Gaming (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, and they are available to anybody with an Amazon Prime subscription. You don’t need to be subscribed to any Luna tier to claim the dozen or so games that are constantly free, and they range from pretty small titles to fairly big ones like Steelrising and, in previous months, Mafia 3. New titles are added fairly randomly, so you should check the lineup a couple of times a month to make sure you get everything you want.

Alienware Arena Giveaway (Steam)

Dwarven Realms

While fairly rare, sites like Alienware and Legion occasionally hand out free games, and the giveaways typically last for as long as keys are available rather than being tied to a specific date. Consequently, you need to really act quickly to take advantage of these deals, as they won’t be around forever, and we cannot predict how long they will be available.

As long as you have 10 ARP points, you can claim Dwarven Realms from the Alienware Arena marketplace. Basically, you need to be an AWA user, and ARP points are earned through daily actions. 10 points should be fairly easy to collect.
