There are lot of free games floating around there right now, from Epic’s weekly freebies to publisher promos on Steam, GOG sale giveaways, and more. But staying on top of them all can be a real chore, and you might be missing out on some good stuff.
So we here at PC Gamer have decided to help, with this running list of every free game that crosses our screens. The goal is to help you find and claim games that usually cost money, so free-to-keep and temporary promotions will be included and noted as such, but free-to-play games and others that are normally free won’t be—for that, be sure to take a look at our categorized breakdown of the best free PC games.
So, here’s what we’ve got:
Time-limited:
Galahad 3093 – The high-speed mech combat shooter is holding its 11th round of beta testing, with a new map, tutorial, Squads functionality, and more. (Steam, ends November 22)
Barotrauma – A 2D co-op survival-horror submarine simulator that’s like FTL with giant sea monsters: Steer your submarine, give orders, fight monsters, fix leaks, operate machinery, man the guns and craft items, and stay alert, because death lurks everywhere. (Steam, ends November 14)
Free to keep:
Outcast 1.1 – The cult-hit action-adventure from 1999, “recompiled from the original source code and improved to run smoothly on today’s computers.” And free, which is a nice bonus. (GOG)
Prime Gaming:
The games on Prime Gaming aren’t technically free, since you need to be a subscriber in order to take advantage. But there’s a lot on offer if you are, including in-game loot and starter packs for free-to-play games, so it’s worth keeping tabs on. Prime Gaming is included with Amazon Prime at $13 per month, or $120 per year; links to all included freebies are available at amazon.com.
