Gaming can be a costly hobby, regardless of platform preference. Significant upfront investment in hardware is often followed by substantial spending on software. While services like Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus offer extensive game libraries for a monthly fee, many AAA titles remain exclusive to individual purchase, often at a price point of $69.99 or more.
Free-to-play games offer an attractive alternative, providing entertainment between premium releases. Many successful examples already exist, and the free-to-play market is poised for significant growth in the coming years. While confirmed release dates for many free games remain elusive, several promising titles are under development and could launch in the near future.
Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: As 2025 unfolds, expect an influx of new free-to-play game announcements, showcases, and releases. 2024 proved a strong year for the free-to-play market, and there's every indication that 2025 will continue this trend.
