Let’s face it: playing games on anything that doesn’t resemble a handset is pricey. The four-digit price tags on the newest AAA titles will stand between you and fun after you’ve spent all of your money on the gaming rig of your dreams.
But, having a good time should not be pricey. You can get by for a time playing highly entertaining games that are available for free on websites like Steam and Epic Games before your preferred games receive discounts. Such websites are listed below.
Steam
One of the most well-known digital marketplaces for PC gamers, Steam also offers social media functionality and chat boards for the local gaming community. While many of the games are purchased, the site also has a sizable selection of free-to-play games. The search box up top makes it simple to look for titles. The platform also enables genre browsing. For Windows, Mac, Linux, and even ChromeOS, the Steam application is available for download.
Games Epic
The same team behind Fortnite also created the Epic Games Shop. The platform has some exclusives even if its collection is less than Steam’s. The store is unique in that it offers a free game every week as well. Even if you might not always get a AAA title, the weekly freebies certainly have their moments. Then there are games like Fortnite, Valorant, League of Legends, and Rocket League that are always free to play.
MegaGames
MegaGames will be a blast from the past if you prefer to download games the traditional way, which involves installing.exe files and other such things. The website, which was established in 1998, describes itself as a “complete hardcore gaming resource” and provides trainers, modifications, and patches in addition to news coverage. The Freeware section gives you access to a large number of titles that are immediately available for download.
GOG
Another excellent site for free games is GOG GOG (formerly Good Old Games). The website focuses on vintage games for PC and consoles. Although the website’s home page could lead you to believe otherwise, there is a separate “Free Games Collection” section featuring a selection of games that are sure to evoke fond memories.
Game Prime
Following in the footsteps of Epic Games, Prime Gaming distributes a free game each week and has only recently become accessible in India. Simply sign up for Amazon Prime, which is a deal considering it also grants you access to streaming music and video services and benefits for online shopping, and you can get started right away.
