Fans of first or third person shooters are spoiled for choice. Call of Duty: Warzone remains one of the pillars of modern battle royale. Regularly updated with new maps, events and seasonal content, it allows you to play for free without touching the premium pass.
In a more science fiction vein, Destiny 2 offers a solid base accessible without purchase. While some expansions are paid, the game still includes numerous campaigns, cooperative activities and competitive multiplayer modes. Fortnite remains a benchmark. Accessible to all ages thanks to its colorful artistic direction and dynamic gameplay, it remains one of the most popular titles in the free-to-play sector.
The Finals, developed by Embark Studios, focuses on destructible environments and tense arena clashes. Its spectacular approach to competitive FPS attracts more and more players.
