FREE Games List [2008-2021]

It is overloaded, oh Ubisoft...

 

[Pete]

More importantly:

Edit: Pic didn’t take the first time.

 

[Davros]

More importantly what ?

 

[idsn6]

Dunno why or for how long, but a bunch of Double Fine games are free on the Mac App Store (I think you have to install them to claim them):

Broken Age
Day of the Tentacle Remastered
Full Throttle Remastered
Grim Fandango Remastered

Thanks, almost missed these. Already own them elsewhere, but good to cover your bases.

Supposedly WatchDogs 2 will eventually be free on Epic, so this whole cluster was pointless. Ubi surprising even the cynic in me with how poorly this was handled, unless their goal was to have people attempt to login from as many different browsers as possible and then package that with your email for sale.

[RESOLVED] July 12, 2020 - Degradation - Log In Services
UPDATE 5PM EST: We hope you enjoyed Ubisoft Forward! The issue with our log in services should now be resolved. We are sorry that we were unable to fulfill our rewards drops in real-time during the show but we will be rewarding everyone with a Ubisoft account with the goods we planned to distribute during Forward as soon as we can. We'll update you as soon as we can with more details on the rewards, even if you were unable to log in successfully during the event. We appreciate your patience!

Edit: the /forward page shows this link (which is still changing: a little while ago it sent me to en-GB from an en-US page but now there’s no country code in the url): https://register.ubisoft.com/ubisoft-forward-reward/

Still can’t fully log in. Wait, it worked after refreshing that last page a few times. I ended up at an en-GB url. Despite my logging in dozens of times and ticking ‘remember me,’ ubisoft.com is still pretending it doesn’t know me.

 

[Davros]

Thanks for posting that

Torchlight 2 for free on Epic.

 

[BRiT]

I have it on Steam and Xbox, but will pick it up on EGS as well. It's a fun little dungeon crawler.

 

[Putas]

I still haven't recieve the Watch Dogs 2. Anybody succeeded?

 

[Pete]

I did manage to get WD2. It appeared in my library around the same time I got an email, around 5pm Monday. I got the success message around midnight after playing the page refresh game (sunk cost fallacy), but no email at that time.

GOG is giving away Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War for the next two days. Click the banner on GOG's front page.

 

[Putas]

Finally, got it as well.

Rocket League is going free to play
Psyonix has announced that Rocket League will go free to play later this Summer. Moreover, the team has announced that the game will come out on Epic Games Store, and that it will no longer be available on Steam. Now the good news here is that those that already own the game on Steam will be able to play with everyone. The Steam version will also support cross-play support between all platforms. However, new gamers will no longer be able to download and access the game on Steam.

 

[BRiT]

Is that because Steam has some specific policy against Free to Play games?

 

[AlNom]

Steam has a dedicated section for F2P games. It must be some sort of deal they made?

If I understand your question, the deal was that Psyonix was bought by Epic.

Okay. It was perhaps more my question, but thanks for answering. My uncertainty came from the following:

The news clips I saw didn't clarify that going FreeToPlay had no impact on why it was leaving Steam. It was sort of unwritten suggestion that F2P meant it couldn't be on Steam.

 

[Pete]

I think Epic just want to keep 100% of that sweet microtransaction money and drive more prople to EGS. It doesn’t really benefit them to add new customers on a less profitable platform. I suppose existing customers can’t complain because it’ll be crossplay and they’ll presumably be able to buy new MTX on Steam.

Nope, tons of F2P games on Steam. Warframe and Path of Exile are two of the big guns in the F2P arena that have their games on Steam. I've got a ton of games in my Steam Library that are F2P. Warframe being the only one I actually spend money in.
