Games subscriptions 2020: the best PC games services on the market right now

  • 5

If you regularly buy a lot of the best PC games, a game subscription service is an excellent option that not only puts hundreds, if not thousands, of titles in your hands, but can possibly save you money in the long run. Most subscription services offer some form of rotating, curated bundle of free games every month that you can download and play without the risk of blowing money on a dud. 

Some services even offer cross-device play and saving, or the ability to stream a game from your console to your PC so you can take full advantage of a game's visuals.
