17 Ways to Get Free Video Games (for PC, Mobile & Even Xbox One)

Get free games as a game tester

There are companies out there that not only let you play their games for free as a game tester but they also pay you for it.

I am not talking about some unknown company either. I am talking about some of the most well-known game brands in the gaming industry.

18. Nintendo

Da, THAT Nintendo.

They hie testers to test their latest video games before they even hit the market.

Why?

So they can gather feedback and work out the kinks before they release it to the market. This process helps them make their games better quickly and easily before releasing the game and potentially risking a lot of bad reviews and low sales.
