Here are all the free games you can grab right now

by techlowdown · 6 May 2022

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:

Terraforming Mars – Asmodee Digital’s PC port of the tabletop strategy game where you’ll play as a megacorporation staking a claim against other companies on Mars. Play your cards right against friends or an AI to build up the atmosphere and your company’s cities until you’ve amassed the Victory Points to win. (Epic, ends May 12)

Free to keep:

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.
