Steam users have several opportunities to expand their libraries this November without spending money. While free-to-keep giveaways have slowed recently, four games currently stand out, including two titles facing delisting and another that will soon become a paid release.
Players who claim these games while they remain free can keep them permanently in their Steam libraries.
Sadball and Battle Sweeper Face Steam Delisting
Two games worth checking out are Sadball and Battle Sweeper. Both are reportedly scheduled for removal from Steam, making their current availability particularly important for players interested in keeping them.
Sadball is a 3D action platformer that puts players in control of a bowling ball hunting down pins. The game combines movement-based combat, combos, unlockable abilities, and power-ups across 48 hidden worlds.
Interestingly, Sadball also incorporates mechanics associated with soulslike games. Its momentum-based combat and dual-parry system encourage players to master their movements rather than simply rush through encounters.
Despite its relatively small audience, the game has received positive feedback. At the time of reporting, approximately 90% of its roughly 40 Steam reviews were positive.
However, the developer has not publicly explained the planned removal or announced an exact delisting date.
Battle Sweeper takes a different approach by combining traditional Minesweeper mechanics with combat encounters.
Instead of simply losing after clicking a mine, players trigger battles against monsters. Winning these encounters allows them to continue clearing the board, while losing carries consequences.
Like Sadball, Battle Sweeper is reportedly heading toward delisting. Players interested in either title should claim them while they remain available.
Cyberfrags ’69 Is Now Free on Steam
Another game worth checking out is Cyberfrags ’69, a fast-paced first-person shooter that previously required a purchase.
The game has transitioned from a paid release to a free offering, allowing players to add it to their Steam libraries without spending anything.
Unlike temporary free weekends, this change means players can access the game without purchasing it.
Radiant Exodus Will Become Paid on November 17
Radiant Exodus is another opportunity for players looking to expand their collections.
The indie shooter is currently available for free and has received positive feedback from Steam users. However, its developer plans to introduce a price on November 17, 2026.
Players who claim Radiant Exodus before that deadline should retain access permanently, even after the game becomes paid.
This makes Radiant Exodus one of the more time-sensitive opportunities currently available.
Steam Free-to-Keep Giveaways Have Slowed Down
Free-to-keep promotions have become less frequent recently, leaving fewer opportunities for players to collect games without paying.
Some observers believe the slowdown could be connected to changes in game release schedules ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6. Developers may be adjusting their launch windows to avoid competing with Rockstar’s highly anticipated release.
However, there is no confirmed connection between those scheduling decisions and the number of Steam giveaways.
Regardless of the reason, November still offers several opportunities for players looking to expand their libraries.
Claim These Steam Games Before They Disappear
Players interested in Sadball, Battle Sweeper, Cyberfrags ’69, or Radiant Exodus should check their respective Steam store pages.
Sadball and Battle Sweeper face potential removal, while Radiant Exodus is expected to become paid on November 17.
Claiming a game while it is free-to-keep generally preserves access even after its price changes or its store listing disappears.
With some deadlines approaching and others remaining unclear, interested players should avoid waiting too long.
