Sign in to your ScreenRant account With the weekend almost here, it is time to start thinking about which games you will want to settle down and get through now that you have a bit of free time. Whilst you could finally sink some time into brand-new AAA titles such as The Blood of Dawnwalker, you could also save a lot of money by checking out the latest free games that Steam has to offer. From one major FPS title and the latest entry in a beloved franchise to a sci-fi city builder, these four games are completely free to download on Steam until 14 September. Surviving Mars: Relaunched First released back in November 2025, Surviving Mars: Relaunched is an award-winning sci-fi city builder where players will be in charge of recolonizing Mars. In this remastered version, there is even more content to get stuck into to with gameplay focusing around exploration, infrastructure, and colonists. "All you need for this relaunched mission to create a thriving Martian settlement is a steady supply of resources, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms… and a curious attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome!" F1 25 Grab both F1 25 and its 2026 Season Pack in one bundle as you immerse yourself in the world of Formula One racing. Released back in May 2025, players will be able to come a part of two brand-new teams: Audi and Cadillac, as they meet the likes of Liam Lawson, Isack Hadjar, Max Verstappen, and more iconic faces of F1. On top of that, explore a brand-new track in Madrid and enjoy cars exclusive to the 2026 season as you burn some rubber and break some records. Crime Boss: Rockay City Crime Boss: Rockay City is a 1-4 player co-op title from 2024 which features both challenging stealth and killing spree combat as players enjoy FPS gameplay and a roguelike campaign, all complete with some hilarious voice acting. As you immerse yourself in the criminal underworld and take on daring heists, you and friends can soon make the big bucks to purchase new weapons, build your arsenal and even hire new characters to help along the way. If you are feeling the Grand Theft Auto drought, this is the perfect way to distract yourself. MORDHAU In this multiplayer medieval slasher, MORDHAU tasks you with creating your own mercenary, fighting in brutal battles with fast-paced combat, laying siege to castles and charging with the cavalry as you head to the battlefield with up to 64 other players. Featuring both online and offline play, a huge arsenal of weapons, in-depth character customization, and gory combat, MORDHAU is the ultimate medieval experience. Borderlands 4 Last, but by no means least, is the latest entry in the Borderlands franchise: Borderlands 4. Released back in September 2025, this installment brings back the mayhem-filled shooter in all its glory as players juggle billions of different weapons, unique enemies and bosses, and hilarious dialogue. As one of four badass Vault Hunters, you will cause a whole lot of chaos as you fight across a planet ruled by a ruthless dictator.
