Download free games on Android

If you want to download free games on your Android smartphone , what you have to do is carefully follow the advice that I will show you in the next chapters. Before you start, I warn you that you need to make sure that your phone is connected to the Internet and that the device has a Google account associated with it .

Download free games from Play Store

On smartphones with an Android operating system , you can download apps and games directly from the Play Store . In fact, in the Google virtual store, free and paid apps of different types are available, which satisfy the different needs of users, including video games.

In case you intend to download free games , I warn you that there is no specific section for free games within the Play Store, but you can easily check if a title is paid as, in its description, you will find any amount to pay to download it on the download button. If the price is not present, the app can be downloaded for free (although it may have extra paid content, identified by the wording relating to in-app purchases ).

To download free games from the Play Store, you must first start the Play Store via its icon with a colored triangle that you find on the home screen or in the drawer. In the screen that is shown to you, then select the Games tab and use the different icons available to select the types of content that are most congenial to you.

For example, if you select the For you tab , you will be shown games that may be of interest to you based on the analysis of your preferences. In the Rankings section , on the other hand, video game rankings are proposed based on various criteria.

In any case, if you are looking for a video game of a specific type, access the Categories tab and select the genre of your interest from those available, for example Action , Cards , Role-playing or Simulation .

When you have identified the game you want to download, tap on its icon or name and then press the Install button . At this point, you just have to wait for the download and installation process to be completed. Finally, press the Open button or tap on the game icon on the home screen (or in the drawer), to start it.

Download free games for children

In the Play Store for Android , there is a section through which you can download video games suitable for children. To access this section, first of all, start the Play Store through its icon with a colored triangle located on the home screen or in the drawer.

Once this is done, select the Games tab and swipe from right to left near the subcategories at the top, in order to identify the one called Family . Once this is done, select the age range from those indicated on the screen: Up to five years , Age 6-8 years or From 9 years upwards , according to your needs.

After performing this operation, you will be shown a screen with all the games divided into various categories : if you want to expand these to find other games, press the word Other .

To download a free game, locate the one where an amount in euros is not indicated and tap on its icon or name . Then you just have to press the Install button and wait for the download and installation of the app to complete.

At the end of these procedures, you can start the game by pressing the Open button or pressing its icon located on the home screen or in the drawer.

Download free paid games

In addition to the advice I gave you in the previous chapters, in case you are interested in downloading free games which, however, are normally paid , my advice is to use AppSales , a service that can be used both via the website and via the app. dedicated, downloadable from the Play Store .

Through AppSales , you can find all the apps on which discounts are applied or which become temporarily free following a promotion. What I recommend, in case you want to deepen the subject or discover other services similar to AppSales, is to read my guide on how to download paid apps for free .

Download free games on iPhone

If you have an iPhone , you can download games for free using the iOS App Store . I remind you that, for the success of the procedures that I will show you in the next chapters, it is important that the device is connected to the Internet and that an Apple ID is associated with it .

Download free games from the App Store

To download free games on iPhone , you have to rely on the iOS App Store . The latter is the virtual store of Apple devices, which allows you to download apps and games, both free and for a fee.

Usually, you can easily recognize a free game from a paid one, as there is no amount to pay on its download button. In some cases, however, it should be noted that downloadable games at no cost “hide” optional costs in the form of in-app purchases (the presence of which is however reported in the descriptive sheet on the App Store).

That said, to download a free game for iPhone, start the App Store using its icon with the stylized “A” on the home screen, then press the Games tab at the bottom and you will be shown the list of all video games divided by categories . In case you want to expand the latter, click on the words See all , located next to them.

As I already told you, you can recognize a free game, as there is the Get text and not the price on the download button. Alternatively, scroll down the screen until you find the Top free games category and press on the word See all placed next to it, to expand the category. Then select the Free Apps tab to access the list of the best free games of the moment.

To download one, press directly on the Get button next to the name of the video game or tap on its name or its thumbnail to access its card. At this point, press the Get button and unlock the download and installation via Face ID , Touch ID or Apple ID password .

At the end of this procedure, you can start the game via its icon on the home screen or by pressing the Open button in the App Store.

Download free games for children

If you want to download free games on iPhone that are suitable for children , what you have to do is follow the instructions that I will show you in the next lines.

First of all, start the App Store , using its icon with the stylized “A” located on the home screen. Once this is done, select the Games tab and scroll down the screen until you find the Top Categories section .

What you have to do now is to press on the word See all located next to it and select the item Children : by doing so, you will be shown a section in which both free and paid video games are available.

To select only the free ones, locate the Free Top category and then press on the words See all , located next to it. You will then be shown a list where you can download all the free games you prefer.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for free games for a specific age group, keep scrolling until you find More Kids Apps . At this point, select one of the proposed categories: Up to 5 years , 6-8 years or 9-11 years . Also in this case, by reaching the Top free section , you will be able to view the games to download for free for the age group you have selected.

As I explained to you in the previous chapter , to download a game, just press the Get button and unlock the download via Face ID , Touch ID or Apple ID password .
