Free games right now

Sign in to your Epic Games account on the website or in the Epic Games Launcher, open the game's store page and press "Get". A checkout window opens showing a price of zero; press "Place Order" and the game is added to your library. You do not need to enter any payment details, and you can download it whenever you like.

Yes, when the offer says the game is free to keep. Press "Add to Account" on its Steam page while the offer runs and the licence stays on your account permanently, even after the price goes back up. A "free weekend" is different: you can play during the event, but the game leaves your library when it ends unless you buy it.

A free game brings new people into a store, a launcher or a series. Stores use giveaways to win accounts, publishers use them to build an audience before a sequel or an expansion, and smaller studios use them to get noticed and collect reviews. The store usually pays the developer for the giveaway, so the game is not free for them, only for you.

Some stores run a regular schedule. Epic Games Store, for example, usually swaps its free game once a week. Steam, GOG, itch.io and the other stores run giveaways whenever a publisher decides to. We check the stores several times a day and add each new offer as soon as it goes live.

Yes. Every claim button on this page goes straight to the game's page on the official store, so you claim it with your own store account and nothing passes through us. A genuine store giveaway never asks for card details to complete a free order. If any site asks for your store password to "unlock" a free game, close it.
