In what's good news for those with a limited budget, a cavalcade of video games are now available for free

Here's the big question that many of us are dealing with right now: where is the money going to come from?

Donald Trump might be ready to reopen America on the other side of the border, but here in far more sensible Canada everyone remains in lockdown. That's good for the country, but challenging for many who aren't able to work thanks to country-wide business closures. 

Today then brings some great news, especially if you're starting to burn out on Fortnite, Dota 2, or League of Legends during self-isolation, but don't have the budget this week to spring for Borderlands 3: Guns, Love, and Tentacles.

Perhaps taking the 'We're all in this together" approach, PS4 and Xbox One are just two of many platforms that are making a host of games available for free. Sorry that won't include Animal Crossing or Doom Eternal.

Free Xbox One games include Too Human, Crackdown, and Crackdown 2, with those with an Xbox Gold membership also able to claim Sonic Generations, Batman: The Enemy Within, and Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. 

Those with a PS Plus membership can clean up with Shadow of the Colussus and Sonic Forces. 

PC users meanwhile will find over 70 freebies on such services as Steam, Gog, Epic Games Store, Twitch Prime, and Itch.io. Games include Stargunner, Bio Menace, Goat of Duty, The Stanley Parable, Bomber Crew, and Far Future Tourism.
