The best 50 free action PC games of all time

The Free Games Utopia top 50 lists the best free-to-play, free full version and liberated video games of all time according to users ratings. The games on this list span the entire history of video gaming - from classics for DOS, Sega Genesis, and Commodore 64, to modern titles for Android, iOS, Linux, and, of course, Windows.

The concept of a “free” game isn’t always clear-cut. All the games on Free Games Utopia can be played right away without any upfront cost, though some may optionally offer paid features such as subscriptions, upgrades, or microtransactions (as is common with MMOs).

This Top 50 showcases titles from a wide range of platforms:

Every PC platform since the dawn of desktop computing — from popular systems like Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux, to lesser-known ones like Solaris, FreeBSD, and BeOS.
Classic microcomputers such as the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.
Mobile platforms, primarily Android and iOS.
Popular consoles, both modern and retro, including Xbox, Nintendo, and PlayStation.

To qualify for the Top 50, a game must have received at least three votes. Use the button bar to filter the list by genre.

ACTION - Action games are video games in which the player faces “physical” challenges. Typically, gameplay involves fighting moving enemies, shooting, collecting items, and jumping. Common elements of the action genre include the protagonist’s health (or lives), bosses at the end of levels, and generally linear gameplay. Some of the most popular action subgenres include fighting games, MOBAs, arcade games, and sports games. More action games on Free Games Utopia.
