Gaming Free Games thread

Yup, just verified, it's a trial, really not worth it considering the game is 40GBs just to try it out, meaning it's quite likely you won't even have finished downloading it before it expires... Sad really, pretty much only F1 game I don't have so wanted to try it:/

Good morning

I´m sorry but this is not right.It is not a trial you can play the FULL game for the NEXT 2 DAYS. I´ve downloaded it tonight and playing the whole night,all options,all modes working fine.
But i´ve gonna get buying it at 13,75 € when the 2 days over.

When maybe i´ve missunderstood the Thread reason,then i´ve been sorry about the wrong post.

That's what a trial is, a version with a timer, demo is the one where you don't get the full game. Also, it's 40GBs like I said, good luck downloading that much in 2 days if your connection is any bad and mine is, so yeah...

As for purpose of thread, it's for things that you normally have to pay for, but they go free for a period of time, however if you claim them when free they are yours to keep for good even after free period ends. Not Steam's "free to play weekends" or that stuff. Although I don't mind if you post about some notable ones that go free to try like that as long as you clarify in your post they are temporary.

Thank you for your detailed explaination,now i see it clearer for posting free games in the future.
I thinked it makes people fun who have never played F1 or want to check their hardware if the game works or not have the money (~60 Euros is very expensive),for this reasons i´ve posted it.

Thank you.

a game that you can only play for a limited set ammount of time is a Trial. after the 2 days is over you need to buy the game.


this thread is for games that are its available for free for a period and you keep the game after the "promo" ends
thanks for the share btw!

Speaking of free games... IndieGala is having a giveaway similar to the recent ones with The Great Story of a Mighty Hero Remastered, which seems like a pretty interesting and fun game, so definitely grab it while you can, it's DRM-free as well, so even better if you prefer standalone games: https://freebies.indiegala.com/the-great-story-of-a-mighty-hero-remastered/ (2.7GBs, so heads up for people like me with slower connections)

PS: If having problems opening the archive, use 7zip, supposedly it's a 7zip packaged wrongly as normal zip, so non-7zip extraction won't work most likely...

Freebies are nice and all, but with Epic's recent spying on Steam accounts and stuff, they basically shot themselves on the foot, doubt freebies will save them

Can't deny that, what they did was pretty shady.
I do hope they get better over time though, only time will tell.

Thought it was shady too, but don't they access steam info anyway when you converge your friend lists or whatever it's called?

They do, but it was doing so even before users opted to converge their friends lists.
Though they've stated that they're going to change it so that it only accesses localconfig.vdf once you've opted in.

I think there was additional info they were looking at, but I don't want to spread false information with a thought/guess.

To add to this, it's DRM-free as well, so no Steam or anything needed, everyone should grab it while they still can! It's 2.6GBs though, so heads up!

So this is not quite a game, but existing Amazon Prime members who link their prime account with twitch Prime can get Nintendo Online for free for 12 months (3 months to start but renewable after 60 days).

there are also 4 games for free:

kabounce
star vikings forever
the king's bird
snake pass



Not quite free given that you need amazon prime, but lots of people have prime already. Sorry if this post is not qualified as a free giveaway because it only sort of is.
