Games can be expensive, which is why most handheld users wait for sales events to grab their favourite games at discounted prices. However, if you own a Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, or any other handheld, then you’ll be glad to know that there are plenty of titles you can grab for free right now.
Handheld games that you can get for free right now
Most of the games that handheld users can get for free right now require an active Amazon Prime membership. If you don’t already have one, you can sign up for it here. The best part is that if you’re between 18 and 24 or are a student, you can get a free 6-month trial.
Also, for the Steam Deck, since none of the games are on Steam, you will need to rely on a third-party launcher like Heroic to play them. However, we have mentioned the compatibility for each game to make things easier for you.
In any case, here’s a complete list of games that handheld users can get for free right now.
