What's this? Free games?
I've created this community because I've found a few places that regularly give away free games, and there are probably a lot of you out there who aren't aware of them but also like freebies!
This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost (i.e. this is not for steam sales, free-to-play games, free weekends, competition giveaways, or free in-game items!) - that said I'm not the boss here, if people want to change the rules then just shout!
Here are some good places to keep an eye on:
- https://steamdb.info/upcoming/free/ - SteamDB's list of Steam freebies
- https://gg.deals/games/free-games/ - GG Deals' list of freebies across different shopfronts
- https://gaming.amazon.com/ - free games (some on other shopfronts) if you currently pay for Amazon Prime (though you don't lose them when you cancel)
- https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/free-games - Epic Games usually give away at least one game every Thursday
- https://www.gog.com/en/partner/free_games - free games (some new, some 90s classics) from GOG, CDPR's DRM-free shop front
- https://www.gog.com/giveaway/claim - direct link to claim GOG giveaways
- https://itch.io/games/free - free (temporarily or permanently) indie games on Itch
I'll probably post any freebies I see on these sites whenever I happen to check them but don't let that stop you if you see them before me! Also these are all PC games as that's what I generally play, if you find any similar deals for consoles then feel free to post them too.
Time to fill up my steam library for my Steam Deck!
I have a few more resources noted down, if you'd be interested for the list:
- https://www.indiegala.com/showcase
- https://www.amusement-center.com/project/egg/game/?mode=search&sssort=desc (service itself is paid so kinda like Prime in "free with a fee")
- https://freebies.indiegala.com/
- https://steamdb.info/freepackages/
- https://www.app-sales.net/
- https://steamdb.info/sales/?min_reviews=0&min_rating=0&min_discount=95&sort=discount_desc
- https://itchclaim.tmbpeter.com/
- https://shaigrorb.github.io/freetchio/
- https://isthereanydeal.com/giveaways/
Should I list the NSFW resources too?
Cheers, I've been meaning to do a new sticky post for a while now so these should be useful. You're welcome to post the other links here, up to everyone else whether they want to click them!
A few more (SFW) I forgot:
- https://www.gog.com/#giveaway (when a giveaway is present, it just scrolls you to that part of the front page)
- https://gaming.amazon.com/games (a cleaner redirect to
https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game) - https://www.zoom-platform.com/search/ (filtering in the site is still lacking, so my solution is a set of Ublock Origin filters)
- https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/browse?sortBy=currentPrice&sortDir=ASC&category=Game&count=40 (sorting by lowest price first - UbO helps here too)
- https://www.gog.com/en/games?priceRange=0,0&hideOwned=true (showing only the freebies, permanent or otherwise, from the whole catalogue, and filtering out what the user already has)
- https://randombundlegame.com/ (not directly useful, but maybe people can use it to keep an eye whenever another massive bundle pops up)
Of the NSFW ones, first the DLsite ones (so many because the store is split in multiple sections, and so much noise in the links because filters are hardcoded into them):

Other NSFW sources, all sorted by price so if any freebie pops up, it's easier to spot:

Do you know somewhere I could or should offer a single free Steam key? I bought a Humble Bundle and there are some games in it I have no interest in whatsoever. I would like to benefit someone else with it and none of my friends have it wishlisted.
There's [email protected] but that seems pretty quiet nowadays. Could also try any of the various general gaming communities like [email protected] or [email protected]
