Multiple developers are making their respective games available for free – and it’s a good idea to make good use of it; you can find freebies essentially everywhere.
On the Epic Games Store, two titles are free for a week at the moment. One of them is The Stanley Parable, which can’t be just described as a first-person exploration, as it has far more than that, but you should experience it yourself. The other big title – and it is indeed a big one – is Ubisoft’s Watch_Dogs from 2014, one of those games that were part of something we call Ubisoft downgrades: it looked far more superior at the 2012 E3 announcement than the final version. You can get these games until March 26, next Thursday. From that point, the next freebies will be Figment and Tormentor x Punisher.
On Steam, we found three games, but there could be far more than that – and no, we don’t mean free-to-play titles but games that stay on your account even after the free period ends. One of them is Deiland, a single-player RPG that is up for grabs until March 24’s morning hours, and the other title is Pleasure Puzzle: Portrait – this one isn’t that big, but until March 26, it could be something to spend a few minutes with. You could also make an online party with Drawful 2. Speaking of Steam, the Steam Game Festival has more than forty demos until Monday. On GOG, 27 titles are listed as freebies. Mable and the Wood has also freshly become a freebie for two days.
On itch.io, a ton of indie games can be either acquired for free, or they are heavily discounted. You can find a few interesting games here as well.
So a ton of devs decided to give their work away to slow down the spread of the coronavirus, regardless of the platform – sure, you need an Epic Games Store, Steam, GOG, or itch.io account, but we’re sure everyone has at least one of them.
