Finding a new quality game to play at an affordable price can be a difficult task at times, especially with so many titles to wade through. Many of the best free games such asLeague of Legends,Path of Exile, andGenshin Impactconsistently top the charts due to being widely accessible and low-risk for new players. As a result, many quality games are often written off due to their price tags but luckily forPCgamers, June 2023 is already looking promising as several great games are up for grabs.
The future is looking bright forPC gamerssince platforms like Epic Games, Gift of Games, and Steam began putting out free titles. None of these platforms are showing any sign of stopping, so it can only be assumed that more free games are on the way. Of course, while putting out no-charge games on a storefront is a way for businesses to bring more users to their platform, it also means that PC gamers get to expand their libraries without spending a dime.

Hue
Huehas been free-to-play on Steam for a few days now and will continue to be claimable during the Curve Games Publisher Sale. The indie platformer from Fiddlesticks Games came out nearly seven years ago, but the passage of time hasn’t made the gameplay and beautiful art style any less compelling.Hueis a puzzle adventureat its core and players must alter the environment around themselves by changing the colors. With Steam user reviews of “Very Positive,“Hueis definitely a challenging yet fun indie game to add to the collection.
Midnight Ghost Hunt
Epic Games' mostrecent MEGA freebie isMidnight Ghost Huntfrom Vaulted Sky Games. In this title, players must participate in a ghostly version of hide-and-seek with one side acting as the hunters and the other side as the ghosts. Typically, this early-access game comes with a nearly twenty-dollar price tag but is now free of charge until June 8. For PC players looking to play with friends on other platforms, they should be excited to hear that this game, along with the Steam version, supports cross-play.
Calico
Calicoquickly caught the attention of the cozy gaming community when it launched in 2020 but for those who haven’t had a chance to pick up the day-in-the-life sim now is the perfect opportunity. Some have comparedCalicotoAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsandStardew Valleyfor its cute animal friends, customizable decor, and charming atmosphere, though building a cat cafe in this pastel world is certainly a unique experience on its own. At the moment,Calicois available on PC, Xbox, and Switchbut will only be free until June 6 through Prime Gaming.
Tell Me Why
Tell Me Whyis a predecessor to theLife is Strangefranchisefrom Don’t Nod Entertainment and is currently free on both Steam and Xbox throughout June in honor of Pride Month. This episodic adventure details a well-constructed story of two twins, Tyler and Alyson, reuniting in a small town in Alaska. With all three chapters currently free, most players should expect to spend about nine and a half hours on the heartfelt story.
Honorable mentions for the best games to claim during the month of June include titles likeTurnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion,Lake,Autonauts, andDKO: Divine Knockout, all three of which are available through Amazon Prime Gaming. Prime Gaming will most likely debut a few more free-to-keep games as the month progresses. In addition, the Epic Mega Sale is still active until June 15 which meansPCgamers should expect at least one new free game next week. Ifpast free titles from Epic Gamesare anything to go by then it should be well worth the wait.
