Steam users have until September 1 to claim eight free games through a qualifying online membership, including an acclaimed 9/10 JRPG from one of gaming's most beloved franchises. While there's still plenty of time to redeem this month's lineup, August tends to fly by, so subscribers may want to add the games to their libraries sooner rather than later.

Each month, Humble Choice gives members a fresh selection of games to keep permanently on Steam. The lineup rotates on the first Tuesday of every month and comes in addition to the service's other perks, including access to the Humble Vault, exclusive discounts on new releases, IGN Plus, and charitable contributions. For PC gamers looking to stretch their gaming budget, the subscription offers plenty of value beyond its monthly game selection.

Humble Choice Free Games for August 2026

Leading August's lineup is Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the latest mainline entry in Sega's long-running JRPG series starring both Kazuma Kiryu and Ichiban Kasuga. It's one of the strongest Humble Choice headliners in recent memory, making this month's bundle especially appealing for anyone who hasn't played it yet.

The complete August 2026 lineup includes:

- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
- Dead Cells (with The Bad Seed DLC)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge – - Ultimate Edition
- Decktamer
- Conquest Dark
- Gatekeeper
- Pile Up!
- Dark Envoy: Director's Cut

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Is the Standout Addition

Although Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth includes a built-in story recap for newcomers, longtime fans will get the most out of its emotional story by playing earlier entries in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series first.

The game follows series veteran Kazuma Kiryu and protagonist Ichiban Kasuga as they travel to Hawaii for the franchise's biggest adventure yet. Alongside a sprawling open world, players can expect strategic turn-based combat, an abundance of quirky side activities, memorable characters, and a heartfelt story centered on Ichiban's search for his mother.

In Game Rant's 9/10 review, the game was praised for its ability to consistently keep players engaged while blending the series' trademark humor with emotional storytelling. According to the review, its signature zaniness is used "in such masterful and fun ways that most players won't be able to help themselves from smiling and laughing along with Ichiban Kasuga and the rest of the cast."

Dead Cells

One of the most addictive roguelikes on Steam, Dead Cells combines fast-paced action with Metroidvania-inspired exploration. Every run takes players through a constantly shifting castle filled with dangerous enemies, powerful upgrades, and branching paths, while every defeat sends them back to the beginning. This edition also includes The Bad Seed DLC, introducing two additional biomes, new enemies, and extra bosses.

TMNT: Shredder's Revenge – Ultimate Edition

A love letter to classic arcade beat 'em ups, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge delivers fast-paced co-op action inspired by the iconic 1987 animated series. The Ultimate Edition includes every previously released expansion, adding fan-favorite playable characters such as Mondo Gecko and Mona Lisa.

Decktamer

Blending roguelike deckbuilding with monster collecting, Decktamer lets players recruit defeated enemies into their deck while battling through a dangerous dungeon. With permanent card loss adding meaningful consequences to every decision, each run requires careful planning.

Conquest Dark

Inspired by the survival-action formula popularized by Vampire Survivors, Conquest Dark mixes massive enemy hordes with action RPG progression. Multiple character classes, powerful gear, and increasingly destructive abilities create satisfying runs through a dark fantasy setting.

Gatekeeper

Gatekeeper is a cooperative roguelike shooter where players choose from a roster of distinct heroes, collect powerful artifacts, and experiment with countless build combinations. While it's enjoyable solo, its chaotic co-op gameplay shines brightest with friends.
