This random video game generator has three tabs. Game list picks from 54 well-known titles, anything from Pac-Man and Chrono Trigger to Elden Ring and Hades. Free games pulls a free-to-play PC or browser game from FreeToGame. Deals grabs a discounted PC game from CheapShark. Use it on the backlog you keep scrolling past, or on a group chat that can't agree on anything.
How to use the random video game generator
- Pick a tab: Game list, Free games or Deals.
- Set How many. One gives you an answer, three or four gives you a shortlist. The max is 8.
- Click Pick. If the result doesn't grab you, draw again. There's no limit.
- On Free games you can narrow it to PC or web browser and type a genre like shooter. On Deals you can set a maximum price and a minimum Steam rating.
Ways to put a random game to use
- Backlog cleanup: if you own the game it lands on, you play it tonight. No rerolling because you're not in the mood.
- Group vote: draw 3 games and let everyone argue it out.
- Finish-it challenge: beat whatever comes up before you draw again. Landing on Dark Souls makes this a long month.
- Cheap night in: set Deals to a $5 maximum and buy whatever turns up.
Frequently asked questions
How does the random video game generator work?
On the Game list tab, every one of the 54 games has the same odds. Nothing is sponsored or bumped up because it's trending, and you won't get the same game twice in one draw.
What games are on the list?
Games most players have at least heard of: Nintendo staples like Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, open-world games like Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2, indies like Celeste and Stardew Valley, and online games like League of Legends and Fortnite. It's a short list on purpose. If you want something you've never heard of, the Free games tab is a better bet.
Where do the free games and deals come from?
Free games come from FreeToGame, a catalogue of free-to-play PC and browser games. Deals come from CheapShark, which tracks PC game prices across stores. Each deal draw picks from the 60 most recent deals that match your price and rating filters. Prices change fast, so check the store before you buy.
Can I draw more than one game at once?
Yes, up to 8 per draw on every tab.
