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.

A few more (SFW) I forgot:

https://www.gog.com/#giveaway (when a giveaway is present, it just scrolls you to that part of the front page)
https://gaming.amazon.com/games (a cleaner redirect to https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game)
https://www.zoom-platform.com/search/ (filtering in the site is still lacking, so my solution is a set of Ublock Origin filters)
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/browse?sortBy=currentPrice&sortDir=ASC&category=Game&count=40 (sorting by lowest price first - UbO helps here too)
https://www.gog.com/en/games?priceRange=0,0&hideOwned=true (showing only the freebies, permanent or otherwise, from the whole catalogue, and filtering out what the user already has)
https://randombundlegame.com/ (not directly useful, but maybe people can use it to keep an eye whenever another massive bundle pops up)

Of the NSFW ones, first the DLsite ones (so many because the store is split in multiple sections, and so much noise in the links because filters are hardcoded into them):

spoiler

Other NSFW sources, all sorted by price so if any freebie pops up, it's easier to spot:

spoiler

https://denpasoft.com/product-category/all-products/?orderby=price (they don't mark products as owned in the catalogue, so once more, UbO may help)
https://erogames.com/en/hentai-games/genre-free/type-download?filter=results
https://jastusa.com/games?attributes=&sort=cheapest&catalogCode=&priceMin=0&priceMax=0&currentPage=1&phrase=
https://kaguragamesjp.com/shop/?orderby=price (same case regarding ownership as Denpasoft)
https://www.fakku.net/doujin/sort_price-low
https://www.fakku.net/games/sort_price-low

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:

Find the free games tab by id
Navigate six child div tags down
Find child a tag with a data-a-target value of learn-more-card and href containing the target string
Block the fourth parent div tag of that a tag

filter

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-block part every once in a while, as such bigger sites seem to change the divs' names some times.

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Thanks! Can you work in #offer-section-FGWP_FULL as the starting point for the filter? I am not sure what syntax to use to look for a[href*="platform_specific_tag/"] under #offer-section-FGWP_FULL without specifying how many elements down it is. Without targeting that id for the "Free games" tab, your filter leaves weird blank spots in the "All" tab for each game that got filtered out.

[–] Auster@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I usually go directly to https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game so I'll need to check the all tab too.

[–] Auster@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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_tag is 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 block legacy results in case you want nothing from Legacy Games, you won't see Legacy of Kain due to its name appearing in the link.

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

This is what I ended up with to block everything but GOG. Thanks for all your help!

A comprehensive list! 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.
