What to know

  • Steam has a new ‘Trending Free‘ section where you can find free and trending games to start playing right now.
  • Open Steam and go to Store. Scroll down to the ‘New and Trending’ tab. To its extreme right is Trending Free.
  • Some of the games there are ‘Free Demo’ games, which are not complete games. Find complete free and trending games by clicking on the Free to Play option at the bottom of the tab.

Gamers with light wallets, rejoice! For Steam has finally added a new ‘Trending Free’ tab where you can find new games – that others are also talking about – to download without parting with a single dime.
There has always been such an array of free games on Steam, and without a proper sorting mechanism, that going through them feels like a treasure mission in itself. Although there is a ‘Free to Play’ section, it doesn’t show which of the games there are trending.

Thankfully, Steam now has a new ‘Trending Free’ tab that will list all such games. Getting to it isn’t easy though. You’ll have to zoom past a lot of drivel on the page.

Here’s a textual reference on how to get to it, exactly:

  1. Open Steam and click on Store.
  2. Scroll down until you get to the ‘New and Trending’ tab.
  3. Look to the tab on the extreme right. And there it is: Trending Free.
  4. Other than Free games, you’ll also find a few ‘Free Demo’ games which aren’t exactly complete games. To narrow down the search, click on Free to Play at the bottom. 
  5. And just like that, you’ll be on a page that shows nothing but free and trending games that are actually completely free to play. So dive right in.

Here’s a visual reference on how to get to it:
