All The Free Games You Can Claim In September 2026

Updated September 15, 2026, by Mark Sammut: I’ve updated the article with the PS Plus Extra lineup for September and other free games that are currently available.

September’s free games continue to roll out and expire, with new giveaways happening on Amazon Prime Gaming (aka Amazon Luna), Steam, Epic Games Store, Itch.io, and more. If you game on a PC, you should be able to claim about 30 free games throughout this month, covering both indie titles and bigger AAA releases. Admittedly, most of the freebies fall under the former category, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t quality projects.

Console players rarely get to claim complete freebies, but they can at least check out September’s new Game Pass and PS Plus games, both of which contain a few notable names. As long as somebody keeps that subscription going, they will always have something new to try, including titles they might never have otherwise played.

Most giveaways only last a couple of days, so don’t wait too long to act.

Please note that the section below with the links updates more frequently than the rest of the article.

Active Free Games

Steam Free Games

Crystal Crisis

One of September’s biggest free-to-keep Steam games, Crystal Crisis is a puzzle fighting game that supports both single-player and multiplayer. We don’t get many puzzle battle titles, and this 2019 release is a nice love letter to the subgenre while still offering a competent modern take. The story mode features references to Cave Story, which was also developed by Nicalis Inc., and offers different progression paths.

Arena of Trophies

Arena of Trophies isn’t technically a free-to-keep game but rather a traditional free-to-play title. On October 22, the title will be delisted, so this is the final call to add it to your library.

Epic Games Store Giveaways

Astral Ascent & Luftrausers

Every Thursday at 8 AM PT, the Epic Games Store releases one or two new free games, which remain available for a week until the next batch drops. Except for mystery events held a few times per year, Epic typically reveals the upcoming freebies, so you can decide whether it is something worth keeping track of. Currently, you can add Astral Ascent and Luftrausersto your account.

Alone With You (Mobile)

• Giveaway End Date: September 17, 2026 @ 8 AM PT; 11 AM EST; 5 PM CEST
• Usual Price: $9.99
• Epic Games Store Page: Alone With You (Mobile)

For the last few months, the Epic Games Store has been giving away a free weekly mobile game, with the current one being Alone With You. You will need to download the store’s app to access this title, and the link above provides the necessary steps.

Amazon Luna / Prime Gaming (Requires Amazon Prime Membership)

Free Games For GOG, Epic Games Store, and Amazon Games

Amazon Prime Gaming, aka Amazon Luna, might be the most underappreciated platform for free PC games on the market. OK, technically, accessing these titles requires an Amazon Prime subscription, so they aren’t really free; however, nobody gets that service specifically for games. If you are an Amazon Prime subscriber, there is absolutely no reason not to add each one of these games, especially since they often include some pretty notable names.

Once you claim a game through Amazon Luna, it is yours – no Amazon Prime or Amazon Luna subscription required to play.

The listed dates are when the giveaways end.

Alienware Arena Giveaway (Steam)

Dwarven Realms

Alienware Arena Marketplace is a lesser-known platform for collecting freebies, but you can do just that by spending Arena Reward Points. Most of these offers require quite a hefty investment, but Dwarven Realms is an exception.

Alienware Arena’s Game Vault typically has a few AAA-A games per month, all available for free with Arena Reward Points.

Itch.io Free Games

Gamers Club Repeat

• Giveaway End Date: September 20, 2026 @ 8 AM PT; 11 AM EST; 5 PM CEST
• Usual Price: $7.50
• Epic Games Store Page: Gamers Club Repeat

For the second time in the last few months, Gamers Club Repeat enters a free period on Itch.io, and JRPG fans should at least add it to their collection just in case. The game hasn’t received much interest, but the combat art style looks pretty nice, and the narrative has a mystery element that hopefully keeps things interesting.

IndieGala Free Games

Game of Mafia

• Giveaway End Date: Unknown
• Usual Price: $9.99
• IndieGala Store Page: Game of Mafia

Indiegala frequently offers games for free, though the site typically doesn’t provide an expiration date. So you’ll need to act quickly to take advantage of the offer.

Bad Cat Sam

• Giveaway End Date: Unknown
• Usual Price: $2.99
• IndieGala Store Page: Bad Cat Sam

Bad Cat Sam has been free for quite a long time by this point, but that could end at any time.
