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.
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.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 fora[href*="platform_specific_tag/"]
under#offer-section-FGWP_FULL
without specifying how many elements down it is. Without targeting thatid
for the “Free games” tab, your filter leaves weird blank spots in the “All” tab for each game that got filtered out.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 blocklegacy
results in case you want nothing from Legacy Games, you won’t see Legacy of Kain due to its name appearing in the link.This is what I ended up with to block everything but GOG. Thanks for all your help!
filter
I usually go directly to https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game so I’ll need to check the all tab too.
