Free Video Game Giveaways - Feddit UK
feddit.ukThis 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!) Please
don’t repost stuff that’s already been posted or stuff that breaks feddit.uk
[http://feddit.uk] rules (i.e. don’t be a dick!)
Howdy pardners, this is a cheeky self-plug for !freegames@feddit.uk, a community I’ve created to post limited-time full-game free giveaways. It’s been going a month or two and I’m already claiming games faster than I can play them, so come and join me and make your what-game-to-play choice paralysis worse!

If I have to have a prime subscription to get the game, it’s not free IMO
Otherwise a great idea!
Technically true, though you can start a free trial of Prime and claim all the games, and then (supposedly) they’re still yours to keep after the trial expires. A small hoop to jump through, but it should mean free games!
Doesn’t really work if I’ve had a subscription before, or used said free month some time in the past.
Only issue here is to flag it’s on Twitch Prime so everyone has the right expectation.
Can you not create a new account with a new (or alias) email? Or do they want phone number, card, or other less-easily-created details?
The Amazon ones are tagged as such, but there are plenty of other providers with less hoops to jump through!
I haven’t tried. That’s not for me. I’d rather just buy the game or pirate it. Both are much easier.

Depends. Some of the games they give you are on gog. Those you certainly get to keep.
IRC Others are only available as long as you’re a prime member.
According to the game pages themselves:
I’ve not tried cancelling myself, but a quick web search for other people asking this question says yes you do keep them!
What, no, absolutely not. In fact I recall the games you get via their launcher don’t even have DRM on them. I’ll check them again at some point.
If I already have a subscription, anything extra is, in practicality, free.
You shouldn’t assume that everyone is giving money to that pathetic company
You shouldn’t assume that nobody is.
I did not. OP did assume that everyone does, by not mentioning that these depend on an active amazon prime subscription.
Most of them don’t, and the ones that do are all tagged with
[Amazon]. I made no such assumption!That is cool, thanks for the clarification!
I thought there was already a piracy community
Lol, this one is for honourable sailors of the king’s navy
Fuck amazon. These aren’t “free”
Since many of us are subbed anyway, they’re still something of value that one doesn’t have to pay extra money for. And it’s really easy to forget about them, so smeg’s community is doing a nice service for the rest of us.
All the ones not from Amazon are, and if you want you can just create a free Prime trial, claim all the free games, keep them indefinitely, and give them no money
I’m not giving the site ANY traffic or userbase #s
No problem with that, plenty of indies on IndieGala and itch.io to claim instead
Appreciate it :)!
Oh boy, have I got some treats in store for you…
Question - is it just video games, or are you looking for tabletop RPGs too?
Ooh, I hadn’t considered free tabletop giveaways! Is that a print-at-home sort of thing?
Edit: I misread tabletop RPGs as board games, d’oh! I think somewhere like !rpg@ttrpg.network might be better, but we could have a TTRPG Tuesday or similar.
Pretty much, although these days a lot of folks find it more convenient to have the rules in .pdf for easy access. There’s hundreds available. Here’s a listing I had posted last night on the @13thFloor magazine I run over here on kbin - happy to crosspost if you feel it fits.
Ah OK, stuff that’s always free isn’t really what I made the community for, it’s more about grabbing games that are normally paid. I do think that !rpg@ttrpg.network would be a good place top cross-post to though!
No worries & thanks for the suggestion.
Im interested!
Yeeee ᕕ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕗ
Thanks for this, already subbed a few weeks back. Managed to snag a few games because of it too!
i appreciate you including the complimentary amazon prime games!
Does anyone happen to know the release schedule (time and timezone) of when they release new amazon prime games? I have a reminder for the epic ones and would like do make one for the Amazon ones.
Roughly every week but I’ve not really noticed an exact pattern. I believe Lemmy lets you subscribe to a community as an RSS feed so you could use that as a notification if you can get it working!
