As August comes to a close, PC players have the chance to grab four free games across multiple platforms. From quirky indie adventures to acclaimed puzzle titles, these giveaways provide a mix of genres for players to enjoy — but some of them are leaving soon.
All Free PC Games Right Now
- Carlos the Taco (IndieGala) – Offer duration undisclosed
- Walking Survival (Steam) – Available until August 31
- Machinarium (Epic Games Store) – Available until September 4
- Make Way (Epic Games Store) – Available until September 4
In total, these titles would normally cost around $40 USD, making this a great opportunity for anyone looking to expand their library. The most time-sensitive offer is Walking Survival, which reverts to paid on August 31. Epic Games Store users have until September 4 to claim Machinarium and Make Way, while IndieGala’s Carlos the Taco has no confirmed end date.
A Closer Look at the Games
Carlos the Taco is a short, hand-drawn 2D platformer with a lighthearted sense of humor. It takes about one to two hours to complete, offering a quick but memorable indie experience.
Walking Survival is a survival-based shoot-’em-up where players battle endless waves of enemies using spells and collected power-ups, similar in style to Brotato.
On the Epic Games Store side, Make Way delivers lighthearted fun with its toy-like racing tracks, while Machinarium remains one of the most beloved puzzle adventures since its release in 2009. Its atmospheric visuals and intricate puzzles continue to resonate with fans more than a decade later.
What’s Coming Next
Looking ahead, Epic Games Store will replace its current promotions on September 4 with Monument Valley and The Battle of Polytopia, both available free for a week. Steam users may also have reason to keep an eye out, as recent data hints that 911 Operator, a crisis management sim, could become the next free offering — though this has yet to be confirmed.
With new promotions on the horizon, August’s final batch of free PC games gives players a strong mix of indie creativity, survival challenges, and classic puzzles.
