Save Money for Presents and Play These 10 Free Games on Steam With Friends on Christmas Eve

The countdown to Christmas has begun. And as gamers, this could mean more games for a ‘Christmas special schedule’. But that could mean an increased budget. However, for all the gamers who are looking for the holiday experience without putting a dent in their wallets, Steam has brought the perfect Christmas present. Free Games!

Now, there is an obvious skepticism surrounding games that are freely accessible. The notion that most gamers have for such projects is that these games include low-quality, weak narrative gameplay titles. While sometimes this may be the case, this list brings you the most iconic graphics, gameplay, and features, and of course, it’s free of cost! Here are the top 10 free-to-play games on Steam that will make for a perfect end to 2023.

DYO 

DYO is one of the most unique and creative co-op puzzle game you’ll play in a long time.

It is based on a simple but brilliant idea. Players can merge or split the screen to create new paths for their characters. With a gripping art design and a strong soundtrack, the game has a lot of replay value. Every level has multiple solutions and secrets to uncover. If you’re looking for a fun and smart co-op puzzle game, then DYO is your answer this Christmas. 

Disney Speedstorm 

Moving on from a puzzle classic, here’s a fun racing carnival Disney Speedstorm. While there might be some attributes of the game that wouldn’t appeal to racing enthusiasts, the Private Track multiplayer mode is an engaging, fun experience. The mode allows you to choose any character and adjust the race speed to your liking. As the name suggests, it lets you access various race tracks inspired by the world of Disney. Players can also use powerups to boost speed and sabotage their opponents, making it a game worth trying. 

Sven Co-Op 

Remember the Half-Life video game series? What if you could play it all over again but with your friends? Sven Co-Op is not just a port of Half-Life to multiplayer but it adds many new innovations and features to the game. You will be able to play through the original half-life campaign and its expansion, as well as hundreds of custom maps created by the community. Sven Co-Op can be a great way to add a nostalgic touch to your Christmas gaming party.

Goose Goose Duck 

Have you enjoyed playing Among Us? If yes, then Goose Goose Duck would be a great level-up for you.

It is very similar to Among Us but just with more game modes and roles and, of course, includes ducks. Although the gameplay is identical to Among Us when it comes to finding the imposter and voting them out, Goose Goose Duck adds more twists to make that dilemma a proper edge-of-the-seat experience. 

The Expendabros 

The Expendabros is a very chaotic game, a side-scrolling run-and-gun platform similar to Metal Slug. Switch between characters while trying to rescue the captured Bros scattered throughout the world. Also, The Expendabros features destructible environments so you can destroy and move through structures like walls and trees. The only drawback to the game is it feels too short and lacks online play but nothing that should stop you from trying the game. 

We Were Here 

Another puzzle game makes it to the list. We Were Here is a very innovative take on the co-op puzzle genre as it puts you and your friend as the explorers trapped in a frozen castle where the only way to communicate is through a walkie talkie. Use codes from a mystery book to escape the castle, and all these puzzles range from simple riddles to complex mysteries. The gripping narrative and setup make the experience a thrilling escape room adventure. 

DDraceNetwork 

DDraceNetwork has to be the pick of all 2D Co-op platform games. It challenges you and 63 other players to work together to complete thousands of maps through various obstacles and traps. But apparently, it’s not as easy as it sounds. The 2-D world of DDraceNetwork tests your skills to the next level. Hence, this game is a challenge for the Pros! 

Yet Another Zombie Defence 

Have a fun time in Call of Duty: Morden Warfare 3 Zombies? Yet another Zombie Defence is a top arcade shooter with strategy elements. You have to survive waves of the undead attacking every night. Build your base by the day, defend it by night and play it with your friends online. The game, however, only consists of a single mode and it’s all about surviving in the mode as long as you can.

Rock Life 

Probably the most unorthodox game in the list and possibly the most unorthodox idea you’ll ever come across.

Imagine yourself as a rock! Yes, that’s what Rock Life is all about. Rock Life is what it suggests it is. You are a rock and you exist. Your friends can also join you as a co-existing rock. Experience everything that a rock goes through in this wild idea of living like a rock. 

Air Brawl 

Air Brawl is a fast-paced arcade aerial-styled combat game that was released in 2015 as an early access project. However, the game could never evolve from the beta test phase. The maps in the game are varied and colorful and the immersive weather system adds dynamic difficulty to the game. There are elements that testify to the game’s unfinished business but still worth some hours of your Christmas holidays.

So, which game excited you the most from these picks? Did we miss any fun free-to-play games on Steam?
