Navigating the enticing realm of freemium games, particularly on mobile platforms, can often lead one into the clutches of a mediocre gaming experience. Nonetheless, the gaming landscape has witnessed a surge in the success of free-to-play games in recent years.
This surge offers an array of options catering to diverse gamer preferences. There is good news for those seeking an enjoyable gaming experience without spending a dime. We’ve curated a list of the best free games on PC or mobile.
Best Free PC games
MultiVersus
Have you ever imagined a clash between Steven Universe, the Iron Giant, Arya Stark from Game of Thrones, and Bugs Bunny in an intense battle? Well, now you can experience just that in MultiVersus, Warner Bros’ take on the Super Smash Bros-style of gameplay. Note that it’s in the early stages of release (having launched in July this year). However, MultiVersus offers a lot of enjoyment and has a promising future, even if its approach to the Smash Bros formula doesn’t bring a revolutionary impact.
Rocket League
Rocket League has taken the game of soccer to new heights, quite literally, with cars equipped with rocket propulsion. Instead of relying on ordinary human legs, you’re propelling a massive football with powerful bumper hits. Initially, getting the hang of it is a challenge—maneuvering the car feels like piloting an alien spaceship, and hitting the ball feels like trying to strike a zero-gravity orb. However, as you invest time, mastery follows. And let me tell you, it transforms into an absolute blast of enjoyment.
Call Of Duty: Warzone
While Call of Duty may not cater to every gamer’s preferences, but it undeniably offers a polished free-to-play first-person shooter experience. This battle royale game trims the excess often found in similar titles, emphasizing action above all else. The primary goal is to immerse you in intense combat situations, highlighting Call of Duty’s exceptional shooting mechanics.
Genshin Impact
It’s improbable that Breath of the Wild will make its way to PC, but Genshin Impact effectively captures many of its allures. The game presents a lush open world, the freedom to climb virtually any surface, a handy hang glider, subtle environmental puzzles, and encounters with groups of moblin-like adversaries to engage with.
Best Free Mobile Games
PUBG Mobile
In contrast to its PC version, PUBG Mobile comes at no cost. It embraces a grittier and more realistic tone compared to Fortnite, presenting four distinct maps with varied terrains. In each match, a hundred individuals are parachuted from a plane onto different parts of these maps. Their objective: collect weapons and resources while eliminating any obstacles in their path. Players can take on this challenge individually or team up in pairs or groups of four.
Fortnite
Fortnite possesses several similarities, although it distinguishes itself with a vibrant aesthetic and a single map. Its standout feature is the ability to build structures swiftly, introducing a creative, exhilarating, and unpredictable aspect to gunfights. Nonetheless, both games maintain an approachable and user-friendly nature, making them easy to grasp and enjoy.
Pokémon GO
Pokémon GO was the pioneer in bringing augmented reality to the forefront. The real-world Pokémon adventure took the world by storm upon its launch in 2016. While the initial fervor has subsided a bit, the game continues to boast a substantial and engaged player community. Presently, Pokémon GO has evolved and improved significantly, incorporating features like trainer battles, research tasks, and engaging community days and events, ensuring an exciting and active gameplay experience.
