\n

Steam’s Free to Keep promotion is giving away three games worth over $54 in June 2026. Eets, Happy’s Humble Burger Farm, and The Red Lantern are yours permanently if you claim them before the deadlines.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Steam’s Free to Keep promotion just added three more games to the June 2026 lineup, bringing the combined giveaway value past $54. Eets ($9.99), Happy’s Humble Burger Farm ($19.99), and The Red Lantern ($24.99) are all available at 100% discount for a limited time. Once claimed, they stay in your library permanently, just like any game you’ve purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Games Are Free and When Do They Expire?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to SteamDB, each title has a different claim deadline. Happy’s Humble Burger Farm and Eets expire on June 15, 2026, while The Red Lantern remains available until June 18, 2026. All three are publisher-initiated Free to Keep promotions, meaning you don’t just get a trial. You get the full game forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To claim any of these titles, visit their Steam Store page and click “Add to Library.” You do not need to download them immediately; adding them to your account is enough to secure permanent ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy’s Humble Burger Farm: Horror Meets Fast Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Happy’s Humble Burger Farm is the standout title in this giveaway. Published by tinyBuild in December 2021, it holds a 93% positive rating from 1,649 user reviews on Steam. Destructoid gave it a 9\/10, calling it “a genius game,” while PC Gamer noted that “Cooking Mama this is not.” The game blends fast-food simulation with increasingly disturbing horror elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You play as a night-shift worker at a burger restaurant, filling orders while the environment turns strange and threatening. When you leave work, the supernatural follows you home. For fans of indie horror who enjoy unconventional gameplay loops, this is one of the strongest free games Steam has offered recently. It is also Steam Deck Verified, so handheld players can jump in with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red Lantern: Narrative Survival in the Alaskan Wild<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Developed by Timberline Studio and published by Kepler Interactive, The Red Lantern is a narrative-driven roguelite survival game set in Alaska. You play as the Musher, who sets out with five sled dogs to find a new home in the wilderness but quickly realizes she is not prepared. The game features nearly 100 different encounter scenarios with varied outcomes, and each failed run teaches you something for the next attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 888 reviews and an 84% positive rating, it received praise from outlets like The Sixth Axis for having “some of the most adorable animated dogs” in gaming and from Game Informer for its snow-packed Alaskan atmosphere. Ashly Burch voices the protagonist, adding real emotional weight. The game runs on Steam Deck with Verified status and includes 27 Steam Achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eets: A Puzzle Classic from the Makers of Don’t Starve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eets is a 2006 puzzle game by Klei Entertainment, the studio now famous for Don’t Starve Together, Oxygen Not Included, and Rotwood. Described as “Lemmings meets The Incredible Machine,” it features over 100 increasingly difficult puzzles filled with quirky characters. It won Game Tunnel’s 2006 Casual Game of the Year award and holds an 81 Metascore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it is the oldest and most lightweight game in this giveaway, Eets is a piece of indie history from one of the most respected studios in the genre. Its system requirements are almost nonexistent by modern standards, making it playable on virtually any PC or Mac running the current Steam client. Klei is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, which likely prompted this giveaway alongside a special anniversary bundle on Steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does Free to Keep Actually Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Steam’s Free to Keep promotions are different from Free Weekends or demo trials. When you claim a Free to Keep game during its promotional window, it becomes a permanent part of your Steam library. You can download, play, uninstall, and redownload it at any point in the future, exactly as if you had purchased it at full price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These promotions are initiated by publishers and typically last less than a week. The games receive all future updates just like paid copies. The only notable limitation is that Free to Keep titles do not generate Steam Trading Cards. Availability is technically subject to supply, as indicated by Steam’s “while supplies last” disclaimer, though in practice the offer stays live until the announced deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Free Steam Games Available in June 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These three titles are not the only free games on Steam right now. Gravity Circuit, a 2023 platformer with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating (95% from over 2,100 reviews), is free to keep until June 14. Tell Me Why, a narrative adventure by Dontnod Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios, is free until July 1. SteamDB’s backend data also shows Overcome Your Fears: Caretaker and Wild Terra 2: New Lands potentially arriving as free giveaways later in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Free Weekend side, Hearts of Iron IV, Neon Abyss 2, and Mechabellum are all free to try until June 15. And looking ahead, the Steam Summer Sale is set to start on June 25, running through July 9, 2026, with discounts across thousands of titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Claim Free Steam Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Open the Steam desktop client or visit store.steampowered.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Search for Eets, Happy’s Humble Burger Farm, or The Red Lantern.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. On each game’s store page, click “Add to Library” or “Get Game.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The game is now permanently tied to your account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You do not need to install the game during the promotional period. Simply adding it to your library locks in permanent ownership. Steam Deck users can also claim games through the handheld’s store interface. Both Happy’s Humble Burger Farm and The Red Lantern carry Steam Deck Verified status for a smooth portable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Things Worth Knowing Before You Claim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Are these full versions or limited editions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Full versions. There is no content restriction compared to the paid release. You get the same game, the same updates, and the same experience as any paying customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What happens if I miss the deadline?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Once the promotion ends, the games revert to their regular prices: $9.99 for Eets, $19.99 for Happy’s Humble Burger Farm, and $24.99 for The Red Lantern. There is no indication these titles will be offered free again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Do these games work on Steam Deck?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Happy’s Humble Burger Farm and The Red Lantern are both Steam Deck Verified. Eets has not been officially tested for Steam Deck, but its minimal system requirements make it likely to run without issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Do I need to download them right away?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    No. Adding the game to your library during the promotion is enough. You can download and install it whenever you want, even months or years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
