This thread will no longer be updated.

This used to be a thread called "Limited time, 100% Free-to-keep PC games right now", where I, together with many helpful members of the community, documented which PC games were free to claim at any given moment. I started it when the COVID-19 pandemic started in the whole world and developers/publishers were doing promotions faster than one could keep track of everything. Since the situation is calmer now, keeping track of things to that level isn't needed.

The thread is now a free games news thread which relies on comments to function - if you find an interesting offer for a free game, feel free to comment and let others know! Here I have also put links to useful places where you can find out about and/or collect free games as they appear.

Comment Formatting Guide

When commenting, please put the full name of the game/promotion, which platform it is on, and a link to the promotion/the relevant SG thread.

Would it be better if there was a way to differentiate between 1) free to play and 2) free to get and keep forever? Maybe separate tables?

All of these should be free to keep though? Is there something that isn't?

No worries, I could probably change the title to be more informative (and I don't think we need the "new thread" anymore).

I am confused about what you wrote, but you should use that command when they go free in the period listed above.

There's a form to fill out and they ask you to take a simple action to help promote their most recent game, Nova Drift. (Just looking at the Steam page counts!) You'll get the key in your email about a day after you fill out the form.

Sadly enough the (NEW [date]) thing messes up ReCharter. They aren't turning green, and they aren't profile features limited (like Martian Law).
Thanks for the list though!

Not using it. What would be a good solution? I'm not sure I can make it be more visible than this while also being easy to manage.

Don't really know, sorry. Not fully sure how ReCharter checks links of how you add the new to interfere with that to offer advise.
