Gaming is a costly hobby. Console or PC gamers alike face significant upfront investment in hardware. Even with the hardware acquired, software costs remain a considerable expense. While Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus offer extensive game libraries for subscription fees, many AAA titles bypass these services. This often means players shell out $69.99 or more for each new release.
Free-to-play games offer a compelling alternative, providing entertainment between premium purchases. Many titles demonstrate the potential of this model, and the selection is poised for substantial growth in the coming years. But which free games are generating the most excitement for 2025 and beyond? While confirmed release dates for free games are scarce, several promising titles are under development and may launch soon.
Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: As 2025 unfolds, expect more free-to-play game announcements, reveals, and releases. 2024 proved a strong year for the free-to-play market, and there's every indication that trend will continue.
