Yes. Every game listed on this page is currently available at no cost through at least one tracked store. There are different types of free offers though, and it helps to understand the distinction. Free-to-play games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Genshin Impact are permanently free and always will be - anyone can download and play them, with optional in-game purchases for cosmetics or convenience. Limited-time giveaways are normally paid games being offered for free during a promotional period - you must claim them before the offer expires, but once claimed they are yours to keep forever. Some games also go permanently free after initially being sold at a price. XD.deals clearly shows the offer type so you know what you are getting. For more free options, check Epic free games this week and free-to-play games in our game catalog.

Free-to-play games are designed to be free from the start. They generate revenue through optional microtransactions, battle passes, or cosmetic items. You can download and play them anytime without any time pressure. Browse the full selection at free-to-play games. Giveaways are different - these are games that normally cost money but are being offered for free for a limited time as a promotion. The Epic Games Store weekly free games program is the most well-known example, offering one or more free titles every Thursday. Steam periodically runs free weekend events where you can play a game for free and often buy it at a steep discount. PlayStation Plus subscribers receive monthly free games. The key difference: giveaways expire, so you need to claim them during the promotional window. Once claimed, they stay in your library permanently.

There is almost always something free to claim. Epic Games Store releases at least one free game every Thursday, and has been doing so consistently since 2018. Steam runs multiple free weekend events per month, letting you try full games for a limited time. GOG, Humble Bundle, and other stores run periodic giveaways, often tied to sales events or publisher promotions. PlayStation Plus subscribers get monthly free games with their subscription. Game Pass subscribers get access to hundreds of titles as part of their membership. Beyond recurring programs, publishers occasionally make older titles permanently free to promote sequels or build community. XD.deals tracks all of these across 50+ stores and displays them on this page the moment they go live.
