There are lot of free games floating around there right now, from Epic's weekly freebies to publisher promos on Steam, GOG sale giveaways, and more. But staying on top of them all can be a real chore, and you might be missing out on some good stuff.

So we here at PC Gamer have decided to help, with this running list of every free game that crosses our screens. The goal is to help you find and claim games that usually cost money, so free-to-keep and temporary promotions will be included and noted as such, but free-to-play games and others that are normally free won't be—for that, be sure to take a look at our categorized breakdown of the best free PC games.

So, here's what we've got:

Time-limited:

  • Saints Row 4 Re-Elected - Over-the-top open-city crime series Saints Row finds a new top to go over, becoming a full-on superhero game. Comes with a bunch of DLC. (Epic, ends December 15.)
  • Wildcat Gun Machine - A bullet hell dungeon-crawler, with a gross-out art style. (Epic, ends December 15.)

Free to keep:

Prime Gaming:

The games on Prime Gaming aren't technically free, since you need to be a subscriber in order to take advantage. But there's a lot on offer if you are, including in-game loot and starter packs for free-to-play games, so it's worth keeping tabs on.

Prime Gaming is included with Amazon Prime at $13 per month, or $120 per year; links to all included freebies are available at amazon.com.

  • Quake (Epic)
  • Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (Amazon Games App)
  • The Amazing American Circus (Amazon Games App)
  • Desert Child (Amazon Games App)
  • Banners of Ruin (Amazon Games App)
  • Doors: Paradox (Amazon Games App)
  • Spinch (Amazon Games App)
  • Rose Riddle 2: Werewolf Shadow (Legacy Games)

We'll keep this list as comprehensive as we can, but if you spot something we haven't, let us know in the comments.

A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
