Yeah I allow the permission to redeem games, it shows a Steam waiting-for-something-to-happen page, then I get redirected to localhost.

Turns out I already had NiGHTS in my Steam account so I didn't register on that Sega website. Sega could giveaway other games instead.

Would you mind posting this each day so we don't miss it?

I would remind you for the upcoming games like
on 4th August the Action PvP Shooter
Lost Light

or on 20th August the Halflife 2 campaign mod
Entropy: Zero 2

But you wouldn`t like them, because they are Early Access or free2play.

On alienwarearena.com giveaways and game keys only available for one day each.
Alienware give away (Klick the red 11 in the right top corner). Get it, then klick that button again to claim the key in your rewards section.

- 2th August: Frostpunk Soundtrack steam key
- 3th August: South of the Circle Game Poster
- 4th August: Tower 57 Game key
- 5th August: This War if Mine Game key

I don't see the red 11, or anything related to Frostpunk..?

Farcry 6 is this weekend free to play
- On EPIC from 4th 16.00 UTC to 7th 16.00 UTC (3 days)
https://store.epicgames.com/en/p/far-cry-6--free-trial
- On Ubisoft from 4th 16 UTC to 8th 16.00 UTC (4 days)
https://freeweekend.ubisoft.com/farcry6/en-US


- When focusing on the main objectives, Far Cry 6 is about 22½ Hours in length.

- If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 56½ Hours to obtain 100% completion.

Once again, not what this thread is for, this is for paid games that go permanently free, not free weekends or free to play games.

tbh i don't think his links to amazon prime bonuses count either, since you have to pay for prime

Its just a EPIC reminder thread, some indiegames and maybe sometimes the one or another game.

You may so friendly checking regulary the both preavesly posted sites, wich show offers for free games and post them in here. Thx in advance

We had a big discussion about this a few months ago and did a poll to decide whether Prime games are fine or not in this thread and the conclusion was, they are.
So the users of gbatemp actually decided.
General F2P games are still not what this thread is for though.

The discussion hadn`t gone deep enough. Ya its nice to grab some free games, but not grapping everything thats out there just to fill his library with games, if its a nice game or not.

To get informed and remember that are timed free games in a shop, you can use the both mentioned sites above. Or one of several apps for smartphones, wich will also notify you like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.apuri.free.games&hl=de&gl=US

My opinion is to serve our community, there should be also included other kind of game type offers. Like Weekend play promotions (if enough time to play the game once till end), or upcoming trending f2p of nice games. And for sure we have a lot of members wich search for cheap solution to grab games maybe also in bundles where u can get 1 game for 1€ up to 4, 5 or more games for 10€. The gaming market is wide more then some timed freegames.

But in this case the site https://gg.deals/news/freebies/ does a great job. Or the site steam.db, for example here upcoming trending f2p releases with more then 100 followern https://steamdb.info/upcoming/?tagid=113&nosmall

So because this sites does already the job, the final thought would be to implement some information from them in our site.

Have fun

Look, it's completely fine to "serve the community" with F2P games and recommendations.
Only I am not interested in them at all (in most cases) and many people watching this thread ain't too.
That's why you're totally free to post them in a separate thread "F2P recommendations with no P2W" or something like that or "F2P and free trial weekend games".
But this thread is only about games that usually cost money but are available to be added to your account for a limited time. Epic is the best example here, giving away games each week (but only if redeemed within that week). And regarding to a poll we had a few months back, it's also fine to post Prime games. But nothing else. No F2P (including previously non-F2P that completely turned F2P like Fall Guys), no "only playable for free this weekend" nor anything else.
I (and many others) are watching this thread here for a reason. It helps us keeping track of opportunities to add games that would otherwise cost money to our accounts. And thus I expect only that if I receive a notification. There are enough annoying notifications on countless devices in our lives these days so we don't need any more that don't match our exact needs.
Again I'm in no way trying to be rude. I got your point but it's just not what this particular thread is about.

@lordelan I gave u and all others everything you and all others need to find and check out new tempory free games to fill this thread. You have ambition, you have the power. I know you can do it.
