One of the biggest advantages of playing on PC is the number of games you can get for free—and, even better, without needing a monthly subscription to play online. You can be sure that, if you follow the news every day, major sites will make games completely free. The most common platforms for free downloads are Steam, Uplay, GOG, and now the Epic Store.

Most games or licenses remain available for just under 48 hours. Some are offered as a limited number of keys and others for the duration of a promotion, so the secret is to stay alert and not miss the chance to secure a free game for your library.

With that in mind, we will list a few suggestions for getting games. Here is the list.

    1. HumbleBundle – This is an online store specializing in individual game licenses as well as bundles—the famous Bumbles. It is very common for the store to offer games for free! The average is one every 15 days. The games are always very good, such as Dirt Rally on August 29.
    2. Epic Store – We can also call it Epic Games. The company is known for titles such as Fortnite and for Unreal Engine. It recently launched its own DRM, forming strong partnerships with major developers. The company is being aggressive and promised two titles per week through the end of 2019! Some people have already claimed around 20 games, and their libraries keep growing.
    3. Alienware Arena – We do not fully understand the reason behind this Alienware project, but from what I was told, it is a gaming community where you can win prizes. In addition to Steam game licenses, it also distributes Game Pass licenses! The problem is obtaining a license, since they sell out quickly whenever they are released.
    4. GGames – This list also includes a Brazilian website: a gaming forum that stands out for its content. To get licenses, you need to register on the forum, participate, and accumulate GCoins. You can exchange these coins for random Steam licenses. It also has Minecraft (Windows Store) and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (Steam) available for purchase with GCoins.

Still on the subject of GGames, all of your actions on the forum generate GCoins, whether you are registering, commenting, reacting to topics, or reviewing files. To help, the forum's sidebar has a list of daily objectives that award more coins; simply complete them to earn the GCoins.

In addition to the guaranteed licenses available in exchange for coins, its forum has a section dedicated to free games. Members commonly donate licenses for games and software or post alerts when one of the three sites above is offering free games.

Remember that there are also, as mentioned earlier, sites for platforms such as Steam, GOG, Uplay, and even Rockstar Games. We hope these basic tips help you get organized and grow your library without spending money.
