For a limited time,PCgamers have the chance to add three more games to their digital libraries. When it comes to free game giveaways,PChas a distinct advantage over consoles. Most of the “free” console games are actually tied to subscripion services, whereas many of the free PC games are genuinely 100% free. If PC gamers are willing to use the launcher tied to the free games, they can get them at zero cost and no strings attached.
Multiple storefronts give PC gamers another advantage when it comes to free game giveaways. The various digital storefronts and launchers ensure that there are a variety of free games available at any given time. The Epic Games Store, for example, gives away new free games on a weekly basis fairly consistently. Steam free games are not as consistent, but they are still frequent. As long as one keeps an eye out for the free game giveaways,PC gamerscan build a large collection of freebies pretty fast.
At the time of this writing, PC gamers have three free games that they can claim for their collections - one from Steam and two from the Epic Games Store. On Steam, PC gamers can claimBarro GTas long as they do so by August 4. Thecurrent Epic Games Store free games, meanwhile, arePilgrimsandKeylocker, which will both be available until August 7. At that point, they will be cycled out for the next Epic Games Store free games, which are112 OperatorandRoad Redemption.
