March 2026 continues to deliver new free games for PC and a few more giveaways have popped up in recent days.
Gaming is an expensive hobby, but there are ways to mitigate some of those costs. Along with access to deep sales, PC gamers get quite a few free games per month, a March 2026 is no exception. Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and Amazon Prime almost always offer giveaways, with titles ranging from small indie projects with 10 user reviews to massive AAA releases. Even if someone only uses one platform like Steam, they should still consider creating accounts on other sites to collect their free games.
Console users rarely get 100% free games. Subscription services like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass are constantly updating their libraries, ensuring that players always have a dozen new titles to try out. With so many freebies constantly circulating, it can actually be downright exhausting to keep track of everything, and it's frustrating to miss out on a title you wanted because you didn't realize it was available for free. So let's try to simplify the process and catalog all the free gaming gifts of March 2026.
New games added on March 7:
- Crowalt: Traces of a Lost Colony (Steam)
- Along the edge (Itch.io) – Ends March 7th at 10am PT!
- Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-shot (Amazon Prime Gaming)
- Tattoo Tycoon (Amazon Prime Gaming)
- Siege of Avalon: An Anthology (Amazon Prime Gaming)
- Microsoft has announced several more March 2026 Game Pass games, including Cyberpunk 2077 (arrival March 10)
Planet Coaster unfortunately it ended its free period early because Digiphile ran out of keys.
I'm including PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass, and Nintendo Switch Online just to make this article as complete as possible. Yeah, I know they're not really free, but it doesn't hurt to list them. This means that I will not include games added to EA Play or Ubisoft+ Premium unless they are available with an Xbox Game Pass subscription.
Upcoming PC Games for 2026: Big News for Indie Darlings and Steam Early Access

Itch.io free games
Along the edge
- The end date will reveal: March 7, 2026, 10:00 a.m. PT; 1 PM EST; 19:00 CET
- Usual price: $13.99
- Steam page: Along the edge
Available for a very short time, Along the edge is a visual novel with a great art style, adult themes, and hundreds of original hand-drawn illustrations. The game has over 50 endings, which should offer quite a bit of replayability. Get this one fast as it won't be around for long.
Gifts in the Epic Games Store
Turnip robs the bank
The Epic Games Store has been giving away weekly games for almost its entire existence, and it seems unlikely that it will end in 2026. Currently Turnip robs the bank is available, which is a quirky roguelite top-down shooter about short heists. A really fun indie game.
On March 12th, the Epic Games Store will give it away Isonzo and A cozy grove.
BrightGunner
- The end date will reveal: March 30, 2026, 8:00 PM PT; 11:00 PM EST; 5:00 CET
- Usual price: $9.99
- Epic Games Store Page: BrightGunner
A pretty random giveaway that isn't part of Epic's weekly freebies. BrightGunner is an indie shooter that's been out for a little less than a year, but has received very little attention, including no reviews on Steam. It's a run-and-gun shooter.
Epic Games Store: Complete list of all free games available so far
Here's a list of all the games that were free on the Epic Games Store. You have until March 12th to get the current games for free.
Amazon Prime Gaming (requires Amazon Prime membership)
Free games for GOG, Epic Games Store and Amazon Games
Since Amazon Prime Gaming tends to give away a lot of games on different platforms, we'll list them along with their affiliate sites. They are sorted by expiration date (so the first expires first).
I know these free services require a membership, but 99% of people don't get Amazon Prime for games. Once you pick up the game, it's yours – no subscription required to play.
The dates listed are the dates when the giveaways end.

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness
NSO doesn't announce new free games as regularly as Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, so we'll list all titles individually. Nintendo has not confirmed when Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness it will be available for subscribers, but it should happen in March 2026. The GameCube RPG is probably one of the more underrated games in the series and has aged well enough to be worth playing even today. It is also completely different from modern Pokemon open world games.
Free open world games with the best exploration
These free open world games offer vast and beautiful open worlds, great exploration and tons of content; almost no catch.
