League of Legends (Season 2025)
“League of Legends” is still lonely at the top in 2025. No other game has such a large and loyal following. The game is a 5-on-5 battle where strategy, teamwork and individual skill come together to destroy the opponent's base. With more than 160 different “Champions” to choose from, the variety is endless. Every match is a new adventure and the satisfaction of a perfectly executed team action is indescribable. It is the most played and most watched game on earth.
Fortnite (Fortnitemares & Winterfest 2025)
“Fortnite” in 2025 is much more than just Battle Royale. With the addition of LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing and the Fortnite Festival mode, it has become a complete entertainment platform. Collaborations with films and artists are greater than ever. Whether you like building, shooting, racing or making music: there is always something to do. The “Fortnitemares” and “Winterfest” events at the end of 2025 have once again packed the game with new weapons, skins and secrets to discover.

Counter Strike 2
The move to the Source 2 engine has made “Counter-Strike 2” the most refined tactical shooter on the planet in 2025. The smoke grenades now respond to bullets and explosions, allowing for completely new strategies. CS2 is all about pure skill. There are no powers or extras; it's about your own reflexes and your knowledge of the maps. It's the ultimate competitive experience on PC and still completely free to download.

Genshin Impact (New Regions)
“Genshin Impact” is a living anime in 2025 in which you play the leading role. The world of Teyvat is now huge and completely free to explore. You collect characters with different elemental powers to solve puzzles and defeat huge bosses. The constant flow of new stories, areas and characters ensures that players will never get bored. It's one of the few free games that feels like a very expensive single-player adventure that you can put hundreds of hours into.

Valorant (Champions 2025)
Riot Games has created a tactical shooter with “Valorant” that will dominate the esports world in 2025. It is a 5-on-5 game where precision and smart use of your “Agent capabilities” make the difference between life and death. The game requires a steely focus. You must learn how to close off an area with smoke, how to blind enemies and how to plant or dismantle the “Spike” (bomb). It's exciting, competitive and every round is a new tactical challenge.

Apex Legends (Season 25)
“Apex Legends” remains the king of fast-paced Battle Royale. In 2025, during the 25th season, the dynamics between the different “Legends” (heroes with powers) are perfectly balanced. You are dropped with a team of three on huge maps that are constantly changing. The pace is high and communication via the “ping system” is still unparalleled. It's all about movement: sliding over hills, climbing on buildings and using your powers at the right time to seize victory.

Rocket League (Season 21)
The concept is simple: football, but with rocket-powered cars. In December 2025, “Season 21” has just started with a French theme and the “Parc de Paris” Arena. The chaos of the beginning gives way to incredible technical feats in the air for experienced players. In 2025, Rocket League is still the ultimate casual game, but at the same time it has enormous competitive depth. Whether you play with friends on the couch or climb the online leaderboards, it remains addictive.

Warframe (The Old Peace)
In “Warframe” you play as a “Tenno”, a futuristic space ninja. In 2025, the game is more extensive than ever with the gigantic “The Old Peace” update. You fight your way through the solar system with swords, guns and unique powers. What makes Warframe so special is its speed. You run over walls, make huge jumps and slash enemies as you soar through the air. Everything in the game is free to unlock if you're willing to put in the time, making it one of the most honest "free-to-play" games on the market.

Destiny 2 (Renegades)
Bungie made a new start for free players in 2025 with the “Renegades” expansion. As a “Guardian” you defend the last city on earth against alien threats. The “gunplay” is still the best in the genre; every shot feels powerful and precise. The free version now offers a huge amount of content, from spectacular missions in space to competitive battles against other players. It's the perfect game for those who love an in-depth story combined with fast-paced action.

World of Tanks (Modern Armor)
“World of Tanks” is an absolute classic that reinvented itself in 2025 with the “Modern Armor” updates. You take your place behind the wheel of legendary tanks, from historical models from the Second World War to the most modern fighting machines of today. The game revolves around tactics: you must know the enemy's weak spots and work closely with your team. In 2025, the graphics have been taken to a crazy high level, making the explosions and mud on your tank look almost real. It's a strategic chess game, but with huge cannons.
