All the Free Games You Can Claim in April 2026

Last Updated On April 25, 2026:

• Added the PS Plus Extra and Essential lineup for April.
• Added a few Xbox Game Pass games that were announced for the month.
• Added 8AM as a free Steam game.

Be it through Amazon Luna, Steam, Epic Games Store, or even Itch.io, there are always free PC games available somewhere. The previous month delivered its fair share of great giveaways, and April has been just as good, if not better. At any given moment, there are at least a couple of free games available, and the majority of them are small indie titles that most people are likely not familiar with. While they might not be as initially exciting as triple-A freebies, these types of games can be real hidden gems.

As it can be challenging to keep track of every free game in April 2026, we are going to simplify the process by keeping track of all these giveaways, updating the article as new things are announced and revealed. These freebies tend to only last a couple of days, so it is best to jump on them straightaway to ensure you don't miss out

I am including PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass for completionist sake, and I'll add Nintendo Switch Online if they announce anything. They aren't really free, but there is no harm in listing them. EA Play and Ubisoft+ Premium are not included.

Another psychological horror game, Steam is giving away 8AM, which has been around since 2024. Essentially a hidden object game, players are stuck in a room while monitoring a few rooms through cameras, and they have to pick out any differences or strange anomalies. Every time they get one correct, the time moves forward, with 8 am marking the point at which the player can be released.

Epic Games Store's weekly giveaway is now delivering Doomblade, a 2023 2D Metroidvania that is generally well-liked for its visuals, unique combat and movement, and themes. While these types of games are very common nowadays, plenty of them still manage to stand out from the crowd, and Doomblade is one of those releases that deserves more attention.

Typers Combat

• Giveaway End Date: April 29, 2026, @ 8 AM PST; 11 AM EST; 5 PM CET
• Usual Price: $5.99
• Epic Games Store Page: Typers Combat

Personally, Epic is telling me that this game isn't available on my platform or region, so I cannot access it on the Epic Games Store. However, I'm still adding it here since Typers Combat might be for others.

GOG Free Games

• Usual Price: $11.99

GOG free games are usually available through an Amazon Prime subscription, via Amazon Luna, but the platform does occasionally hand out a freebie directly. The Whispering Valley is a folk horror game with point-and-click puzzles.

Amazon Luna (Requires Amazon Prime Membership)

Free Games For GOG, Epic Games Store, and Amazon Games

Amazon Prime subscribers nearly always have free games they can claim, and the lineup can include some rather big names like Total War and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands​​​​​​.

I know these freebies require a membership, but 99% of people don't get Amazon Prime for the games. Once you claim a game, it is yours – no Amazon Prime or Amazon Luna subscription required to play.

The listed dates are when the giveaways end.

Free Indie Games That Might Not Be On Steam

Blood and Zombies

• Giveaway End Date: Unknown
• Usual Price: $14.99
• IndieGala Store Page: Blood and Zombies

Released in 2022, Blood and Zombies is a co-op survival horror shooter with roguelite elements and a tower defense structure. While not that well-known, this is a fairly straightforward indie FPS that is worth a shot if you are looking for something different to play with a few friends. While $14.99 might be a hard sell for this type of indie title, it isn't bad for a free game.
