Free PC games: here’s what’s available to download now

Everyone loves free stuff. And if you have a gaming PC, you’ll always find one or two games to download from a digital store for free. Honestly, it is one of the best advantages of playing on the PC. The only problem is that it can be difficult to keep track of the free games available at any time. We plan to make this easier for you. Whenever there is a free PC game to download from one of the main online stores, we will highlight it below. All you need to do is check back regularly to make sure you get the free PC games you deserve.

Epic Game Store free games

For years and years, Steam seemed unstoppable. It was the showcase for PC games. How could a company compete with a power so entrenched? The answer turns out to be: offering tons of high quality games for free.

Anyone with an Epic Games Store account can download at least one free game per week from the online retailer. It is a great privilege and you should enjoy it weekly if you like free games. And who doesn’t?

Free Amazon Prime Gaming Games

Amazon Prime members get a lot of free PC games every month. Granted, you need to sign up for Prime, which costs money, but if you’re already a member for free shipping or Prime Video, you can also enjoy free games every month. In addition to free PC games every month, Prime members also earn in-game items in all types 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 aren’t usually as big or known as the ones that the Epic Games Store distributes for free. But if you are already a Prime member for many other benefits, there is no reason not to take a look at what is offered each month.
