Gaming can be a costly hobby, regardless of platform preference. Significant upfront investment in hardware is just the beginning; software costs quickly accumulate, especially with the absence of many AAA titles on subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus. The frequent $69.99 price tag for new releases can strain even the most dedicated gamer's budget.
Free-to-play games offer a compelling alternative, providing entertainment between premium purchases. While many excellent free-to-play titles already exist, the coming years promise a substantial expansion of this market. What are some of the most exciting free games on the horizon for 2025 and beyond? While confirmed release dates are scarce, several promising titles are under development and could launch soon.
Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: As 2025 unfolds, expect a steady stream of new free-to-play game announcements, showcases, and releases. 2024 proved to be a strong year for the free-to-play market, and there's every reason to believe this trend will continue.
