Hi everyone, Kevin here.
Today I want to show you how you can download some of the best and most popular PC games
entirely for free and this includes games like Fortnite, Counter-Strike,
League of Legends, Roblox, Call of Duty, and the list goes on and on.
Basically, if you're looking to play a fun game and you don't want to bust out your wallet,
you're in luck.
When you look at the list of the top 20 PC games that people are playing around the world,
it turns out that about 70% of these games are entirely free to play, but what's the catch and
why are they free? In the past, when you wanted to play a PC game, you'd have to pay for it
up front and that would give you all of the core functionality, but game companies have
recently been changing this model where they give you the base game for free and then the hope is
that you'll make in game purchases for things like virtual goods or other premium features.
Now with these virtual goods, most of them are completely cosmetic,
where they don't actually impact your ability to win the game.
About 6% of players end up making in game purchases and game companies end
up making more money from these people than by charging everyone for the game up front.
We should all be very thankful for these people because they are subsidizing these games for us.
Some of these players who make in game purchases are referred to as whales
because they spend ridiculous amounts of money in game.
Just as an example, there was a 15-year-old boy in Belgium who was playing the game Game of War
and he racked up over $46,000 worth of charges on his mom's credit card.
I bet she was probably just a little bit
angry when she opened up her credit card bill at the end of the month.
There are a few different places where you can download PC games,
and unfortunately, there's not just one comprehensive list with all free PC games,
but we're going to walk through some of the top sites where you can get the best PC games.
At number one, we have Epic Games, and Epic Games is the maker of some of the most popular
games including Fortnite, Rocket League, and Genshin Impact.
You can head to their website by clicking on the
link up above or also down below in the description.
Once you land on their homepage, up on the top navigation bar, click on browse,
then over on the right-hand side, select the free filter.
Next, go down to the section that says type and then select the games filter.
This way we'll see all of the free games, and there are many different options here.
Now, some of the most popular games, here you'll find Valorant, you can also get League of Legends.
Here's Genshin Impact. We have Rocket League,
and if you go to the second page, here you'll find Fortnite, one of the most popular games.
To install any one of these games, simply click on the title
and then here in the top right-hand corner, you can click on download.
At #2, we have Steam and Steam is one of the largest distributors of PC games.
To head to their website, you can click on the
link up above and you'll also find it down below in the description.
Once you land on their homepage, over on the left-hand side,
click on free to play, and here you'll see all of the different games that are completely free.
If you just want to see the most popular titles, click on this header that says top sellers.
And I know it's called top sellers, but you're not really buying any of these games,
so they're not really top sellers, but it basically shows you the most popular games.
Once this list loads, you'll see some of the most popular games.
For example, here's Lost Ark, Apex Legends, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Destiny 2,
PUBG Battlegrounds, and Dota 2, just to name some of the most popular ones.
Here too, to play any one of these games, simply click on the title,
and on the next page, click on play game.
If you do not yet have the Steam desktop app, you'll have to download that first,
but you'll be well on your way to playing this game. At #3, we have the Xbox app,
and if you're running Windows, you already have this app pre-installed.
Simply go down to the search field and type in Xbox, then click on the best match.
Once the app launches, up in the search field, simply type in free, and here you'll see all
of the different free games, and I know in the first position it says Minecraft,
but this is really the Minecraft launcher, and that's free, but it's not really the game.
But here in the second position we see Roblox, one of the most popular games,
and here we also see another title called Halo Infinite, also a very excellent game.
Here to play any one of these games, simply click on the title and then click on get. At #4, we
have the website battle.net and this is owned by Activision Blizzard or maybe soon to be Microsoft.
Once again, you can click on the link up above or you'll find it down below in the
description. On this website, you'll find one of the most popular games, Call of Duty Warzone.
To download this, simply click here and then you can click on play for free.
Back on the homepage, you'll also find another excellent free game called StarCraft 2.
Simply click on this logo and then here too you can also play this for free.
All right, well, that's how you can get some of the most popular PC games entirely for free.
That is, of course, as long as you do not make any in game purchases.
For that 15-year-old boy in Belgium, PC games have gotten a lot more expensive. To
