Free PC Games: Here’s what’s available for download right now

Everyone loves free stuff. And if you have a gaming PC, you can almost always find a game or two that you can download from a digital store for free. Honestly, it is one of the best benefits of playing games on PC. The only problem is that it can be difficult to keep track of which free games are available at any given time. We thought we would make it easy for you. When it’s a free PC game to download in one of the largest online stores, we’ll highlight it below. All you have to do is check back often to make sure you are getting the free PC games you so deserved.

Free games from the Epic Game Store

For years and years, Steam seemed unstoppable. It was the store front for PC games. How could any company possibly compete with such an anchored power plant? It turns out that the answer is: by offering tons of high quality games for free.

Anyone with an Epic Games Store account can download at least one free game each week from their online retailer. This is an added benefit, and one you should take advantage of on a weekly basis if you enjoy free games. And who does not?

Free games from Amazon Prime Gaming

Amazon Prime members receive a number of free PC games every month. Admittedly, you have to sign up for Prime, which costs money, but if you are already a member for free shipping or Prime Video, you might as well take advantage of the free games every month. In addition to free PC games every month, Prime members also receive in-game items in all sorts of titles, from Destiny 2 and League of Legends to Red Dead Online and Star Wars Squadrons.

Unless you really like indie titles, it’s probably not worth signing up for Prime just to get free games. Prime’s free PC games are not usually as big or well-known as the Epic Games Store distributes for free. But if you are already a Prime member for the many other benefits, there is no reason not to take a look at what is offered each month.

If you do not have a gaming PC, or if you also have a console, you can check out the best PlayStation deals, the best Xbox deals and the best Nintendo Switch deals as well. We keep these articles updated with all the best deals on games, consoles, accessories and more.
