If you browse Steam's homepage looking for new games, you'll be familiar with the "New & Trending" section . Previously, this tab displayed all the new games that were attracting users' attention. However, with the new "Trending Free" tab, you won't have to scroll through a bunch of paid games when you're looking for new, trending, and free games.

This isn't the only change Valve has made recently, the company also made demos easier to find with a July 25 update. Demos now appear under the "Trending Free" tab, alongside free games.

But if you're not interested in specific demos and just want to see free titles, you can select the Free To Play filter at the bottom of the window. This will take you to Steam's Free to Play category page, which allows you to view popular free titles. On this page, you can also narrow the results down to new and trending free games.

So whether you're looking for demos or just free games, Steam has a dedicated tab that allows you to discover interesting games. Of course, you still have to read reviews and check the game's rating to decide whether it's worth playing or not. The Trending Free tab is now another useful way to find great free games on Steam.

You still have to look for the Steam prologue from time to time - basically a demo in full game form. But thanks to the new tab and other improvements Steam has made, finding quality free games won't be as difficult as it used to be.
