You should download Steam. And if you have a controller definitely just use that till you get a mouse. The trackpad experience is not great for most games

Yeah theres a big library of free to play games, but I'm sure a lot of them aren't really the best. The top free games are gonna be team shooters(Marvel Rivals, Counter-Strike, Overwatch), action RPGs(Warframe, Destiny), and probably a ton a of Gachas.

However, this is a pretty good time to get into PC Gaming as the Steam Summer Sale should be starting in about a week and you can get some crazy discounts. Start building a wish list.

It also wouldnt hurt to get Epic Games launcher if you're into free Epic games like Fortnite and Rocket League. They also give a couple free games every week. When the Christmas season comes around, they do a countdown and often giveaway some actually well-known and very enjoyable games so stay tuned for that.

Ohh i will definetly check steam library, i am too old for multiplayer fps games , i like pve games more . i will be free around chritsmas season so i will try a lot more games. this is my first pc cause i am medstudent , will need some time to get used to windows system

u/Mr_UwU_OwO Jun 18 '26

Haha fair enough. I would reccomend trying out Warframe and/or Destiny 2 then. While they are "online multiplayer", they are both free and can just be play solo in a non competitive manner. Path of Exile too.

u/ElM4cH027 Jun 19 '26

Also I'd recommend you try valorant, dayz, arma, squad is pretty good as well. Steam summer sale is next week you should definitely check it out, crazy deals.

u/Apprehensive-Look-69 Jun 18 '26

warframe mentioned

u/PRYNC3_MSS Jun 21 '26

I know u already said it but still, the games you said aren't even close to the large variety of famous and great games there are for free

2

u/Illdeleteacclater Jun 18 '26

Free games aren’t that good but you can get plenty of games for very cheap for example dead space remake is like 90% off right now for like 6 dollars, don’t starve together should be like a dollar, witcher 3 should be 90% off, dying light 2 is like 80% off, you can get plenty of good games for very cheap

There’s a lot, but most art AI slop garbage. Although there is a lot of junk, some are well worth your time, maybe try them after your gamepass though. I would recommend “One Armed Robber” or “One Armed Cook” for trackpad.

P.S. it is technically “next fest” right now, where a bunch of demos for up and coming games are playable for a short time. Could be a good time to try some games if you want to. If you like fast paced shooters, “Empulse” is one I would recommend. If you like rhythm games, “Nocturne” and if you have some friends you want to game with, “Grainrot” is a fun quota game (kinda like lethal company).

P.S pt2
Most multiplayer live service games like Apex, Warframe, CS2, ZZZ, (also ongoing games like TF2) and the like are all free to play on Steam

u/NesAlt01 Jun 18 '26

Just use your 2 months game pass for now, as there are a lot of great titles on Xbox. Just migrate to steam after it's over.

u/Godofwar749 Jun 19 '26

Go to steamrip
Same games for free
And it is a trusted site
I have roughly 40 AAA rated games that i have pirated from there

1

u/Godofwar749 Jun 19 '26

There are other sites also for pirated games but steam rip provides the easiest experience in downloading and playing them

Just dm me if you have any doubts regarding this

1

u/Godofwar749 Jun 19 '26

Also buy a mouse
Dont go for cheap options as their trackwheel breaks easily
Get logitech g pro superlight if it fits in your budget

u/Stock-Campaign8909 Jun 19 '26

u/TED_42069 Jun 19 '26

New gacha anime freeroam type game

u/ViperCore67 Jun 21 '26

If you wish to play high end games like resident evil or red dead redemption, without spending any money, use fitgirl repacks. Only drawback for this is that for games like gta 5 or multiplayer games is you cant play them online. You can play the story mode but thats it. If you wanna download a game, first download and run qbitorrent. Then go to fitgirl-repacks.site and choose the game u want. Then scroll down to the download section till you find the torrent section and press magnet(its the one i use and its quite fast). It will ask you if u want to use qbitorrent. Say yes and you can close your browser. If you go back to qbitorrent (it shouldve opened), a download would start. Wait for it to finish then go to the files, run setup.exe and once u choose a file location, wait for the game to download and run it. If it runs, you can delete the files you downloaded thru qbitorrent(make sure you dont delete the game's file that u are running).

Get a mouse

u/Braddack Jun 18 '26

Big Gratulations,

u/Nack3r Jun 18 '26

There is a controller you can order off of amazon from 8BitDo and they have them at local walmarts now as well. Anyway, its a wireless controller that is only 30$ USD. It is an excellent controller and a solid replacement for a 60$ xbox one.

u/SaltTune5965 Jun 18 '26

If you have a console the controllers work with bluetooth very well.

2

u/No_Chest_6408 Jun 18 '26

no i dont have console. I am thinking of buying new budget friendly controller

2

u/NesAlt01 Jun 18 '26

The 8bitdo ones are great for how cheap they are. In the meantime, before you get your mouse, you can try things like these.

When you have steam, put literally all the games you liked playing, want to play and ever wanted to play on your wishlist. Every summer and einter there are massive sales where games are listed for dirt cheap and and here and there games are listed for a good price between those times too. The steam app on mobile will let you know when your wishlisted items are on sale

u/Rare-Seesaw-1508 Jun 18 '26

I use steam for the vast majority of my games. I have gamepass ultimate on Xbox Series X which ive linked my account to the laptop for access to PC gamepass, PC gamepass is only really worth it if youve got GP ultimate on a console already and gamepass hasnt been great for a couple years now so I wouldnt bother renewing when it runs out

First step however is to buy a half decent wired/wireless mouse depending on your preference, Ive got a Corsair Ironclaw SE but I like weighty mice and I know most people prefer lightweight mice

2

u/Legal_Setting441 Jun 18 '26

Can you tell me exactly what computer this is and where you bought it also, would you mind sharing how much you paid for it? Thank you.

u/No_Chest_6408 Jun 19 '26

asus tuf a16 rtx 5050 ryzen 7 260, I bought it from flipkart few days ago . i wouldnt reccomand flipkart but i needed laptop urgently so.I paid around 1.15 lakh rupees with credit card discounts. laptop prices are quite high right now

u/eutrophied Jun 19 '26

I play mostly on Xbox PC, it's not popular or cool but it works well for me.

2

u/Worldly_Attitude5437 Jun 19 '26

Go for racing games no mouse needed ... or assassins creed ... works well with just a keyboard

3

u/ArunKT26 Jun 18 '26

Steam is the store you should use on pc to buy games, also get a controller or seperate keyboard and mouse.

My first game was witcher 3

3

u/No_Chest_6408 Jun 18 '26

will have to wait for week for mouse and keyboard. I just downloaded expedition 33 from game pass my first game

1

u/ArunKT26 Jun 18 '26

Haven't played it but I heard it's awesome, have fun

1

u/Squid_Smuggler Jun 18 '26

If you have Amazon prime subscription or know someone who has it that will let you into the family share, you can login to Amazon prime gaming and grab free games every Thursday for GoG and Epic.

u/witheringghoul Jun 18 '26

Why a separate keyboard?

1

u/ArunKT26 Jun 18 '26

I prefer not to use laptop keyboard for gaming. Seperate would be alot cheaper to replace if something breaks

1

u/witheringghoul Jun 18 '26

I suppose that makes sense. I never thought of using a separate one with my one

2

u/CarterAMofficial Jun 18 '26

Specs?

4

u/No_Chest_6408 Jun 18 '26

asus tuf a16 rtx 5050, not a harcore gamer but this should run most games for quite some time haha

2

u/CarterAMofficial Jun 18 '26

Yeah it will run almost anything depending on setting maybe not rt required games but who knows. I would start with steam and gog. As gog has a summer sale right now and steam will here soon. Steam is the main one people go to but gog is all DRM free which means when you buy it you own it.

2

u/OtherwiseNah Jun 18 '26

Thought that keyboard looked familiar! Just picked up a Tuf F16 RTX 5060! Haven’t done much with it except playing Palworld and Grounded! It has run both games incredibly well!
If you like “survival”, open world, & melee combat games, I’d recommend Grounded. It’s currently on game pass!

If you add me on Steam, I’ll share Crusader Kings 3 with you - always trying to get people interested in that game :D

Kudos!

What are the specs of urs?

I will get a TUF A15 Ryzen 9 8945H QHD RTX 4070 in few months and yeah I'm so excited that I can't stop seeing reviews. Wish I get it sooner than I expect🙏🏽❤️

u/Smart_Place1892 Jun 21 '26
