10 best free games on Steam in 2023
Not all great Steam games come with a premium price tag. Steam has a mountain of free-to-play games, but not all are really that terrific. So, I went through the veritable mine of games on Valve's platform, looking for the ones that are indeed the best to invest your time and, potentially, money on.
It's important to note that this list is in no particular order. These are not the "top" free games on Steam. To be included on this list, the game has to be free to play. So no games with an admittedly great, free trial. It did not make this list if it's an MMO with a required subscription, like Final Fantasy XIV.
Other games are nearly cut as well, like RuneScape. Though I am not a big RuneScape player, I respect its fanbase's dedication. This will be a wide assortment of genres, making up the client's most exciting and enjoyable free Steam games.
CS:GO is one of the most recognized titles on Steam. No matter how hard you try, you cannot possibly escape it. A wildly popular game to stream and compete in professionally, it's possibly the most recognized name in competitive, team-based shooters. It's free to play, but people have made a significant amount of money flipping the purchasable weapon skin crates.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of the hardest shooters you can play. It takes practice and skill to climb the ladder, but seeing that progress is satisfying. You can find a CS:GO match on Steam any time of day, whether casual or competitive.
Probably the game on this list I've played the most of, save one or two entries. SMITE gets a bad rap for "not being League of Legends." In a 3D MOBA, nearly all of the attacks in the game require precise skillshot aiming. It features gods and goddesses from many walks of life.
