FAQ
Popular free PC games — FAQ
What are popular free-to-play PC games right now?
This page lists only games with an ongoing free entry model — including Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, League of Legends, VALORANT, Fortnite, Genshin Impact and other launcher-native titles. Paid or subscription-only games are listed separately on our Games hub and buying guides.
Are these games free to play?
Yes — every game in the default Free-to-Play catalog can be started without buying the base game. Optional purchases, battle passes and regional rules can still apply at each official store.
Where do I download and play them?
It depends on the game. Steam-native titles like Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 install straight from Steam; others use their publisher's launcher — Riot Client, Epic Games Store, HoYoPlay, Battle.net, the EA app and so on. Open any game's page here and use the official link to get the right client, then create or sign in to a free account.
Why don't the launcher games appear in your deals or price comparisons?
Our deal feeds track games sold on Steam and other stores. Free-to-play games have no price to compare, and titles distributed only through their publishers' own launchers never appear in a Steam price feed — so we list them all separately here with direct links to each official site.
