Steam Makes 9/10 2025 Game Free For 72 Hours

Another day, another free game for players to download and check out on Steam. There are so many free games on Steam, that sometimes it can be a little hard to know exactly where to start. Fortunately, this particularly freebie is only around for a limited time, which should make it a lot easier for you to priorize it ahead of what I assume is a groaning backlog of purchased games.

At the time of writing, there are actually three free games available to download and play until May 4. I already covered two of them yesterday: one is a zombie shooter and the other is a historical strategy game. If, for whatever reason, neither of those jump out at you, maybe this third game will take your fancy.

For the next 72 hours, players can get their hands on Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, the latest entry in the Sonic Racing series, which was released towards the end of 2025. SEGA has announced a free weekend for the game, meaning you can download and play for free until May 4. Your progress will carry over, too, but the game is not free to keep.

“Race across land, sea, air, space, and time in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds!,” reads the game’s description. “Warp through Travel Rings into new dimensions where something new awaits around every twist and turn.”

I can confirm Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is an absolute blast, with every race feeling genuinely unique thanks to the Travel Rings that can take you between tracks in a flash. There are also plenty of fun guest characters, like Pac-Man, and SpongeBob SquarePants — two of the more iconic yellow fellas in pop culture.

If you enjoy what you play, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is 40 percent off until May 7, and any progress you make during the trial period will carry over. Not too shabby.

Also available until May 4 is the undead-blasting shooter No More Room In Hell. “No More Room in Hell 2 is an intense eight-player zombie shooter,” reads the official synopsis. “Overcome the endless undead. Avoid infection. Survive hell together. Join up with others and complete vital missions to aid humanity’s survival. But stay cautious: every encounter with the horde can lead to infection — or even permadeath for your Responder.”

Finally, you have the same window of time to play Victoria 3. This is a 2022 historical sim, and actually the best-reviewed game of the bunch. You’ve got lots of options on Steam this weekend, then, but not enough time to dedicate to all three games. Make your choice.
