LOOTWIRE GUIDE
Permanent free access, kept separate
Free-to-Play is for games whose base access is designed to remain free rather than for a limited promotion. LootWire separates this catalog from temporary giveaways so a user looking for something free to start today does not have to decode whether an offer expires tomorrow.
Free-to-play does not mean every item, expansion or feature inside the game is free. Monetization models vary widely, and publishers can change them over time. LootWire classifies the access type from the catalog source while the store page remains the authority for packages, regional availability and optional purchases.
Temporary giveaway
A normally paid game has a limited claim window and belongs in Free Games.
Free weekend
A limited access period ends after the event and does not imply permanent ownership.
Frequently asked questions
Does free-to-play mean there are no purchases?
No. Free-to-play games can include cosmetics, expansions, subscriptions, battle passes or other optional purchases.
Why are giveaways not included here?
A giveaway has a temporary claim window. This catalog is reserved for games whose base access is categorized as free-to-play.
Can a game leave the free-to-play catalog?
Yes. Store classifications and business models can change, so LootWire periodically refreshes catalog data instead of treating the list as permanent history.
