News & Reviews:   free to play

If you've been craving for more content to come to Genshin Impact, you won't have to wait much longer. The next major update is coming soon, with the release date estimated to be around the end of this month. This time around, miHoYo will be adding a boatload of content to the game, including an entirely new region.

It wasn't that long ago that Genshin Impact was released globally as a free-to-play video game for mobiles, PlayStation 4 and PC. Now over merely a week, it has been downloaded 23 million times globally (and counting) on the mobile platform alone with an estimated $50 million revenue earned since its debut.

In this on-going pandemic season, we have yet another free game to claim and this time, Rocket League will be free-to-play on Epic Games Store. Those who already have the game on their Steam account can also play the game with their friends from Epic Games Store, as a cross-platform feature will be implemented.

If you grew up in the 90's, Counter-Strike is definitely one of the childhood games we played. Also, if any one of you still staying at home and have been itching to play the game but can't be bothered to install the Global Offensive version, you can now play the classic Counter-Strike 1.6 on your browser for free.

If you're a PUBG Mobile fan and have always wanted to try playing PUBG on the PC, perhaps now is the best time for you. Starting from today onwards until the 8th of June (or 9th in our time-zone), PUBG is Free To Play for the weekend and on top of that, there is a 50% discount off too.

Last month, we found out that Amazon Game Studios was working on an original game called Crucible. At the time, it was mentioned that the game was going to launch this month and it looks like Amazon is on schedule. The company has confirmed that the game will be launching on 20 May 2020 (or 21 May 2020 Malaysia time).

If you're looking for a new game to play in the next few days, a good way is to browse Steam or the Microsoft Store often. And it turns out there's a pretty good third-person shooter that's available for free. Gears 5 is currently available to download and play on Steam, giving you a chance to blast some aliens and relieve some stress without having to pay for it.
