Hidden Steam link surfaces all current free games and giveaways in one search

**Steam has a page that collects every current free deal the store has to offer all in one place — permanent giveaways and temporary free access to paid games alike. It's just an ordinary catalog search with the right filters applied; most people simply never think to combine them that way. Worth bookmarking: the link updates itself automatically, so checking for new deals takes one click, no waiting for news posts.**

It's worth understanding the difference between the two types of deals this page mixes together. "Free to Keep" means the game gets permanently attached to your account — claim it once, and it's yours even after the promotion ends. Free weekends, on the other hand, only give you temporary access: you can play, but once the window closes, the game turns back into a pumpkin, and you'll have to buy it like everyone else.

Right now, two "Free to Keep" deals are live on that page, and both expire today. Moonlighter — the 2018 action RPG about a shopkeeper who sells goods by day and raids dungeons for new stock by night — is being given away along with the Between Dimensions expansion until August 9, 10:00 AM Pacific Time. Breathedge, a 2021 space survival game with dark comedy about a guy stranded among the wreckage of his ship, is also free until August 9, though its window is only 48 hours.

The generosity isn't entirely selfless — both games are warming up their own sequels. Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault leaves Early Access on September 2, and Breathedge 2 heads into Early Access later this month. The logic is simple: the more people who try the first game for free, the higher the odds they'll show up with their wallets for the sequel. Breathedge, for what it's worth, was already given away once before on the Epic Games Store back in 2023, so some players might find it's already sitting in their library.

The same page also points to a third deal, though this one's the second type: NBA 2K26 is open to everyone until August 14. You won't be able to keep it for good — just play it while the free week lasts.

Do you actually go back to games you picked up through giveaways — or do they just sit as dead weight in your library?
