About Clairo

So you don't miss a free game while you're playing.

Epic, GOG, Steam, and Amazon Luna give away free games all the time. Finding them was never the problem — not missing them is. Clairo emails you, and nothing slips by.

Why we exist

The Epic Games Store gives away a free game every Thursday. GOG has permanent free games and surprise drops. Steam has free weekends and free-to-keep titles scattered with no calendar. Amazon Luna refreshes its batch of free games for Amazon Prime members every month. And the Epic Games Store mobile app also gives away a free mobile game every week (Android worldwide; iPhone/iPad in the EU only).

All in all, more than 150 free games a year pass through the major stores. You miss almost all of them. Not for lack of interest — for lack of notice.

Clairo exists to do one thing well: remind you of the free game in time, without you having to hunt for it. You play; we watch.

We aren't a coupon site. We have no affiliate links. We don't want your time on our page — we want your time playing.

What you'll find here

Free-game alerts by email. The heart of Clairo. When a game goes free to claim — Epic, GOG, Steam, Epic's mobile app — you get an email in time. Just leave your email: no password, no login.

Subscription showcases. On the site, we also track what's new and what's leaving on Xbox Game Pass (your country's catalog), PlayStation Plus, Amazon Luna, Apple Arcade, Netflix Games and Google Play Pass. Check them whenever you like — none of it turns into email.

Price finder. Type a game and we query the stores on the spot: real regional prices, in your currency, no conversion — plus a table of ~20 international stores via an aggregator. With a game/DLC filter and a search that forgives typos. Try it.

Public hubs. Every live freebie is listed at clairo.gg/en/free, and Epic’s free game of the week at clairo.gg/en/free/epic — public pages, no signup, refreshed hourly.

Principles

01
Works while you're away
Clairo is built to be invisible. You open the email, click, claim, close. No infinite scroll, no notification pile-up.
02
Primary sources, always
Everything comes straight from the stores' official APIs or feeds. If the source is wrong, we're wrong. We fix fast.
03
No redirects
Every "Claim" button goes to the official store, direct. Nothing passes through our domain. You don't have to trust us to trust the link.
04
Made for people who play
You don't have time to chase deals across five stores. We do. That's why Clairo exists: so you can play without missing the free ones.

Frequently asked questions

Does availability change by country?

Partly. Free-to-keep games (Epic, Steam, GOG) are usually global — the same everywhere. But subscription catalogs like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus change by country: what Clairo shows follows the language you picked (pt = Brazil, en = US, es = Spain, de = Germany, fr = France). There can be occasional differences — when in doubt, always confirm in the service’s official app or site for your country.

Where do the game ratings come from?

Every score comes from the same store where you claim the game. A Steam game shows Steam players’ rating; an Epic game shows Epic players’ rating; a GOG game shows GOG’s.

Each community rates in its own way, and we respect each one’s read — so the same game can show a different score across stores, and that’s fine: it’s that community’s opinion.

The format changes by store too: Steam uses an approval percentage (e.g. 👍 92%); GOG and Epic use a 0–5 star score (e.g. ★ 4.6). We keep each one exactly as it is at the source. And whenever the store provides it, we also show how many people rated it.

How do you know when a game goes free?

We read each store's own sources: Epic's public API, GOG's feeds, Steam, and Amazon Luna's free-games catalog, and the Epic mobile app's weekly free games. We check every hour — when a new game shows up, it goes into the next email.

Prefer RSS? The catalog is also available as a feed: clairo.gg/en/feed.xml.

Do I need an account to get notifications?

No. You drop your email in the signup form. Done. No password, no login.

Why don't you claim the games automatically for me?

Because to claim on your behalf we'd need the keys to your accounts — the login and password for your Steam, Epic or GOG. We never ask for that, and we never will: access to your accounts is yours alone, and we make a point of never holding that key.

On top of that, automated claiming and account sharing go against the stores' own policies — doing it could put your account at risk of a ban. The practice we settled on to help you without exposing you is exactly this: no automation on top of your account.

So Clairo only does the safe part: it alerts you in time, and you claim with one click, logged into your own account, straight on the official store. No middleman, no risk to your account.

Do you earn commission when I claim a game?

No. No store has an affiliate program for free games — it wouldn't make sense. The buttons go straight to the official store, and we earn nothing when you claim.

The same goes for the price finder: today, no Clairo link carries an affiliate tag. In the aggregator table (CheapShark), links go through its redirect — if anyone earns anything there, it's the aggregator, not us. If that ever changes, it will be written here, in plain words.

Are the prices in the finder converted from another currency?

The main part isn't. The stores in the regional section are queried on the spot and show the price each one charges in your country, in your currency — no conversion at all.

Only the aggregator table (CheapShark) is in US dollars, because its stores sell in dollars. There we convert at today's rate purely to make comparison easier — the final price at the store may differ.

Why is a store missing from the price finder?

In the moment: each store answers at its own pace — some are slow, some fail right then, and not every game is sold everywhere. When an answer isn't reliable, we'd rather show nothing than guess.

By region: a store only joins your country's search if it has a real storefront there, with prices in your currency. Without that, it stays out — showing a converted price as if it were local would be misleading you.

Do the subscription showcases arrive by email?

No. Email is for one thing only: free games to claim, with a deadline — the alert that can't wait.

The showcases (Game Pass, PS Plus, Amazon Luna, Apple Arcade, Netflix Games, Play Pass) live on the site and are updated every day. Check them whenever you like, without flooding your inbox.

What if the game disappears from the store after I claim it?

You claim it during the promotion and it lands in your store library. From there, how long it stays available is set by each platform's own rules — not by Clairo. We promise one thing only: to alert you in time to claim it.

Amazon Luna's free games work differently: you play them as long as you're an Amazon Prime member — where Prime Gaming operates, today the US, UK, Canada, and Germany. And free-to-play games aren't "claimed" — you download them whenever you want, as long as the servers are up.

Can I suggest a source or fix an error?

Please do. Email hey@clairo.gg with the source link and what's wrong. Fixes usually ship the same day. Speed scales with the clarity of your email.

Do you have an app?

No, and we don't plan to. The portal is mobile-first and works as a PWA — you can install it directly from the browser and it opens like an app. The alert email covers the rest.

Your time is for playing. Ours is for watching the free games.
