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.
And lastly, some UbO filters I made since I commented so much about them:

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.
Hey, can you provide some assistance with this filter I posted about in another thread? It works great at the moment, but I figure there is a better way to go about it that might be more future-proof. Original comment below:
Not sure where to really post this, so I will just try in this thread. I came up with a custom uBlock Origin filter to remove all the games for certain stores (Epic, Prime Gaming, etc.) from the free games page on Amazon so you can focus on only the stores you actually care about (GOG, etc.). Just remove the line for each store that you do want to see. But it looks like it is likely not dynamic enough to apply to potential future updates to the webpage. Is anyone here familiar with uBock filter syntax and able to assist?
In English, the logic here is basically:
iddivtags downatag with adata-a-targetvalue oflearn-more-cardandhrefcontaining the target stringdivtag of thatatagfilter
Relevant HTML
Maybe this?
code
gaming.amazon.com##a[href*="platform_specific_tag/"]:upward(div[class="tw-block"])It’s the filter that is the least dependent on div blocks’ structure that I can think, and unless Amazon changes either (or both) their links format and how they list stuff, at most I think you’d need to change the
tw-blockpart every once in a while, as such bigger sites seem to change the divs’ names some times.Thanks! Can you work in
#offer-section-FGWP_FULLas the starting point for the filter? I am not sure what syntax to use to look fora[href*="platform_specific_tag/"]under#offer-section-FGWP_FULLwithout specifying how many elements down it is. Without targeting thatidfor the “Free games” tab, your filter leaves weird blank spots in the “All” tab for each game that got filtered out.I usually go directly to https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game so I’ll need to check the all tab too.
Just checked it.
For the empty spaces in the carousel, you could use this:
spoiler
gaming.amazon.com##a[href*="platform_specific_tag/"]:upward(li[class="grid-carousel__slide"])And the
platform_specific_tagis what appears in their links when you open their pages and that, from what I can observe, is specific to where they activate in.For example, in Jurassic World Evolution and Electrician Simulator, the tag is the
epic/part of the link.For Overcooked 2 and The Outer Worlds, it’s
gog/.And though it should work without the
/, maybe better keep it, as the lack thereof may trigger false positives, like if Legacy of Kain for GOG is available, but you blocklegacyresults in case you want nothing from Legacy Games, you won’t see Legacy of Kain due to its name appearing in the link.This is what I ended up with to block everything but GOG. Thanks for all your help!
