There are open-source and free-to-play games available that cost nothing (up-front anyway), such as Fortnite. However, what about those AAA games, that have an up-front costs. How can you get those for free?
Many of the game companies have their own platforms these days, riffing off the success of Steam, and actually offer some of these games for free (albeit usually after they’ve been out for a while). It’s a great way of building up a solid library of games, though.
- EPIC Games normally give away 2 games every week
- If you have an Amazon Prime subscription, you also have access to their Luna gaming platform. On top of that they have giveaways every week across a lot of the other gaming platforms as well.
- Steam regularly, but at ad-hoc intervals, have giveaways but it’s not easy to identify them. Thankfully, the site SteamDB can do this. They have a Discord channel too, which you can use to be informed of any new giveaways
For all of these I’d recommend checking them once a week (usually around the end of the week – I check Friday), so you don’t miss anything. EPIC regularly, around holidays, do a giveaway a day, so look out for this).
On top of this, don’t forget that if you have the console subscriptions they have monthly games that you can add to your library (says the person currently playing COD: Modern Warfare III, that was recently given away as free as part of Playstation Plus).
Are there any platforms that also do free giveaways that I’ve missed? If so, please let me know in the comments and I’ll add them to the list.
