How to claim free games safely

A simple checklist for checking store source, expiry windows, account requirements, and suspicious redirects before you claim.

Step-by-step

  1. Confirm the source badge and store name before clicking through.
  2. Check the expiry timer and whether the offer is a giveaway, free-to-play game, demo, trial, or playtest.
  3. Read claim requirements, including launcher, account age, region limits, and DLC/base-game requirements.
  4. Avoid entering passwords after unexpected redirects. Open the store in a fresh tab if anything looks unusual.
  5. Save or mark redeemed after claiming so your dashboard stays accurate.

Practical tips

Prefer official store pages when possible.

If an offer says free but the store asks for payment details, slow down and verify the region and edition.

Use the modal details before opening external pages.
