The 10 Best Free PC Game Websites of 2021

Best for Fan Remakes of Classic Games: Acid-Play

Acid-Play is one of the more reliable free gaming websites around. It offers more than 860 downloads. All games listed on AcidPlay.com are reviewed and given a percentage rating. The reviews and ratings are a great guide for determining the quality of the free game.

Best for Pure Freeware: Caiman.us

Caiman.us is a pure freeware website. You won't find any demos or shareware here. It has more than 4,000 games and is one of the most frequently updated freeware gaming websites.

Best Free Game Site for Grownups: Fullgames.sk

Fullgames.sk lists a decent number of free computer games, both downloadable freeware and free online games. These are listed along with other retail game assets, such as demos and trailers. There are also explicit games available on the site, which makes it not suitable for kids.

Best for Information on Free Games: AllGamesAtoZ.com

AllGamesAtoZ.com has a modern and mobile-friendly website with a large database of game information. However, it no longer offers game downloads, only information about where to find games.

Best for Out-of-Print Games: Home of the Underdogs

Home of the Underdogs is a freeware and abandonware site offering a vast number of titles for download. It's a virtual gold mine for many classic out-of-print games, with a library of over 5,000 titles. The list is fairly impressive, and the site is updated quarterly. Home of the Underdogs has gone through a number of fan-supported redesigns and relaunches, leading to multiple sites hosting some (but not all) of the games found on the original.

Best for Unique Indie Games: Reloaded Abandonia

Reloaded is a free computer game site dedicated to remakes of classic and retro video games and community-made freeware games. Layout and navigation are very nice, with screenshots and descriptions of all games listed in its directory.

The site also offers information and links for many older retail games that have been seemingly abandoned by the original copyright holders.

Best Commercial Site for Free Games: Steam

While many think of Steam as the primary online platform and store for purchasing PC games, it also offers hundreds of free-to-play games. Some may be free during an early access period while still in development. Others are fully released titles offering in-game microtransactions. That being said, a vast majority of the free-to-play PC games offered on Steam don't require any payment for access to full functionality and gameplay.

With more than 500 games listed, there's bound to be something for everyone: RTS games, shooters, or online shooters, to name a few. Popular titles available through Steam free of charge include Dota 2, Team Fortress, Path of Exile, and more. 

Take Game

Take Game offers a solid list of titles. The home page gives a brief introduction to the site and lists the top monthly games and latest additions. It doesn't contain freeware games exclusively. Shareware and some abandonware titles are also included.

Best Variety of Online Games: Kongregate

Kongregate has a large library of free online games in a variety of genres, including action games, tower defense, MMOs, and more. It requires a Facebook login, but once you gain access to the site, you can play for hours without an ad interruption.
