I've created this community because I've found a few places that regularly give away free games, and there are probably a lot of you out there who aren't aware of them but also like freebies!

This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost (i.e. this is not for steam sales, free-to-play games, free weekends, competition giveaways, or free in-game items!) - that said I'm not the boss here, if people want to change the rules then just shout!

Here are some good places to keep an eye on:

https://steamdb.info/upcoming/free/ - SteamDB's list of Steam freebies
https://gg.deals/games/free-games/ - GG Deals' list of freebies across different shopfronts
https://gaming.amazon.com/ - free games (some on other shopfronts) if you currently pay for Amazon Prime (though you don't lose them when you cancel)
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/free-games - Epic Games usually give away at least one game every Thursday
https://www.gog.com/en/partner/free_games - free games (some new, some 90s classics) from GOG, CDPR's DRM-free shop front
https://www.gog.com/giveaway/claim - direct link to claim GOG giveaways
https://itch.io/games/free - free (temporarily or permanently) indie games on Itch

I'll probably post any freebies I see on these sites whenever I happen to check them but don't let that stop you if you see them before me! Also these are all PC games as that's what I generally play, if you find any similar deals for consoles then feel free to post them too.

Time to fill up my steam library for my Steam Deck!

I have a few more resources noted down, if you'd be interested for the list:

https://www.indiegala.com/showcase
https://www.amusement-center.com/project/egg/game/?mode=search&sssort=desc (service itself is paid so kinda like Prime in "free with a fee")
https://freebies.indiegala.com/
https://steamdb.info/freepackages/
https://www.app-sales.net/
https://steamdb.info/sales/?min_reviews=0&min_rating=0&min_discount=95&sort=discount_desc
https://itchclaim.tmbpeter.com/
https://shaigrorb.github.io/freetchio/
https://isthereanydeal.com/giveaways/

Should I list the NSFW resources too?

Cheers, I've been meaning to do a new sticky post for a while now so these should be useful. You're welcome to post the other links here, up to everyone else whether they want to click them!

[-] Auster@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

A few more (SFW) I forgot:

https://www.gog.com/#giveaway (when a giveaway is present, it just scrolls you to that part of the front page)
https://gaming.amazon.com/games (a cleaner redirect to https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game)
https://www.zoom-platform.com/search/ (filtering in the site is still lacking, so my solution is a set of Ublock Origin filters)
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/browse?sortBy=currentPrice&sortDir=ASC&category=Game&count=40 (sorting by lowest price first - UbO helps here too)
https://www.gog.com/en/games?priceRange=0,0&hideOwned=true (showing only the freebies, permanent or otherwise, from the whole catalogue, and filtering out what the user already has)
https://randombundlegame.com/ (not directly useful, but maybe people can use it to keep an eye whenever another massive bundle pops up)

Of the NSFW ones, first the DLsite ones (so many because the store is split in multiple sections, and so much noise in the links because filters are hardcoded into them):

spoiler

Other NSFW sources, all sorted by price so if any freebie pops up, it's easier to spot:

spoiler

https://denpasoft.com/product-category/all-products/?orderby=price (they don't mark products as owned in the catalogue, so once more, UbO may help)
https://erogames.com/en/hentai-games/genre-free/type-download?filter=results
https://jastusa.com/games?attributes=&sort=cheapest&catalogCode=&priceMin=0&priceMax=0&currentPage=1&phrase=
https://kaguragamesjp.com/shop/?orderby=price (same case regarding ownership as Denpasoft)
https://www.fakku.net/doujin/sort_price-low
https://www.fakku.net/games/sort_price-low
https://www.kaguragames.com/shop/?orderby=price (same case regarding ownership as Denpasoft)

A comprehensive list! Feel free to post any giveaways here (maybe not the porny ones!), though I try and spread them out so I'm not doing like 8 similar giveaways all on the same day.

Oh wow, now I don't even need to pretend to myself that I'm going to automate this community. Brilliant find!

[-] Elevator7009@kbin.run 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Do you know somewhere I could or should offer a single free Steam key? I bought a Humble Bundle and there are some games in it I have no interest in whatsoever. I would like to benefit someone else with it and none of my friends have it wishlisted.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 4 months ago

There's !freegames@lemmy.ml but that seems pretty quiet nowadays. Could also try any of the various general gaming communities like !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works or !gaming@beehaw.org
