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.

~~> We're sorry, but you do not currently meet the eligibility requirements to create a Big Fish account.

They don't allow me to create an account, so this is a "great" deal ;)~~~

Ah, nevermind, they don't allow passwords > 12 characters and show wrong error code

Thanks! I have always loved some of the "casual" games. They are great to play while working on something and the stories are usually worth it.
Mystery Case Files is one of my favorite series along with Nightfall Mysteries (Especially the music).

HoGs are highly recommended for people who loves good cheesy stories, beautiful artwork and music lovers.

Pro Tip: If you're a Game Club member, each game you 'buy' (including PC and Mac separately) is a punch for your card.
So this promotion should be worth 3 free games from the whole catalog.

EDIT: When I 'bought' the 8 free games, I got 22 punches. Keep in mind you have to be active Game Club member BEFORE you make the purchase.

Actually it would be worth 6 free games as you can “purchase” the free copies for mac too if you have pc only too.

Pretty good deal $7 for 6 of their newest games, if you like their stuff.

There's a couple old free game codes that still work too. So even more punches available.

Actually they count the free 6 standard games as another stamp credit on your game card earning you one more free game... so its 7 free games.

If youre creating a new account today you get free club membership... so dont have to pay to activate game club.

So a new account gets all the games that are free in this promo, plus like 6-8 more games whatever you want free.

That's pretty epic.

Plus you can cancel the game club after you get all your free punches at no cost or obligation.

Not a game, but I didnt feel this warrented its own thread.

The indie made British film WHOOPS! is currently free (to keep) on Vimeo:

https://vimeo.com/ondemand/whoops

Use the coupon WHOOPSFREE at checkout.
Download is 2.5gb with a few streaming resolution options. Not sure about subs.

"Quintessential Northern family the Clements lead an ordinary life... with one small snag.

In a quiet cul-de-sac in leafy suburbia, Rose Clements - loving mother to Emma & Patrick and wife to Dave - is quietly stacking up a body count of accidental murders... through no motivation other than her own clumsiness.

Dave finds himself burdened with the task of dutifully covering up Rose’s deadly path of destruction; quite the quandary due to his inherent family values. Through ingenious body disposal methods and cover-ups, Dave & Rose attempt to maintain an air of normality in the home...

But gradually and inevitably, the police are closing in..."
