Gamers are generally skeptical of free-to-play games due to their quality, and developers need to use multiple payment methods. There are good ways to implement this and other bad ones. For those looking for a multiplayer game to play for free on PC, we've compiled a list of the best choices.

1.Fortnite

Fortnite may have a reputation for having a vault full of skins, but the game series has rightfully earned a reputation for being one of the most popular free-to-play games around. You can choose if you want to participate in the Season Battle Pass to earn the latest rewards, and if you don't, there is still a lot of competition and fun to be had with friends in this battle royale. You can take part in the fights by becoming the best shooter on your team or by building the best defenses.

2.Apex Legends

Another battle royale game to consider is Apex Legends. You can create teams of up to three players to join the match and survive together. Each player chooses a character with a variety of powers to aid your teammates and eliminate the enemy before they find you. You will run to the center, trying to be the last team standing. There are seasonal events and lots of battle passages, just like Fortnite, but it doesn't have the same visual style.

3.World of Warships

If you'd rather be a warship rather than a human character, World of Warships has you covered. You will choose to place a stealthy submarine or a powerful warship and fight against other players in an intense water-filled battle. Each of the boats comes with many upgrades, skins, and there are various currencies to earn as you play. There is a lot of strategy involved, so it may take you and your friends some time to figure out how to best play it.

4.Call of Duty: Warzone

Call of Duty also has a battle royale mode that you can play outside of the base game and you don't have to purchase that game to play it. Warzone also features a Seasonal Battle Pass that you can join, each with a few key members who have been featured in the franchise's story mode that you can earn skins for alongside loads of other style. You and three other friends can dive into town, survive the gas together, and get to the center to be the last team standing. There are many monthly events that also occur that mix it up.

5.Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact has taken the world by storm and continues to do so after every content update. There are a variety of characters you can earn by playing and you can choose to play alone or with a friend. Both options are viable. You will grind resources, play through story missions and create your own teams to take on the toughest challenges you can find. Genshin Impact is constantly updated, so you'll always have something to do when you come back.

6.Path of exile

If you are a fan of Diablo games and have a craving for looting items, Path of Exile is an excellent game. There are seasons you can get involved in where each one takes a twist on how current content works and forces players to think outside the box to clear new goals. There are many builds to play. There is no end to this with extremely daunting skill trees for those who like to theoretically create their characters to figure out the best way to build them.

7.Paladins

If you're an Overwatch fan but don't want to pay full price, Paladins is a solid side option. It's a blend of Overwatch gameplay, with the power and skill approach of standard MOBA games, like Dota 2. You'll need to pick a character who meets one of the game's classes that can work best with your team, and you'll be competing for complete the objective before the enemy team. Paladins are constantly adding new champions to their arena, with plenty of Battle Pass content for players who like to try out a new character skin.

8.Warframe

For those who want the ability to play alone or with a friend, Warframe is a great option. You can soar in the air, shoot your enemies and build new Warframes in this intense shooter. You'll need to work your way through the content, but there's a lot going on and it's a bit confusing. But if you come in with the right team, you'll have plenty of Warframes under your belt that suit your play style.

9.Dota 2

If you and your friends are the competitive types, Dota 2 is always a solid option. The big caveat to playing Dota 2 is how big the skill threshold can be. Over 100 champions to choose from, you have to learn slowly and figuring out how to build them correctly against another champion is another daunting task. Dota 2 is certainly not easy, but if you feel like learning how everything works and looking for development guides, then we highly recommend one of the greatest games in the world.

10.Smite

For those who wish to try Dota 2 but want to take it a little easier, Smite has just the thing for you. It is played from the point of view of the character, a completely different point of view from Dota 2, but the core gameplay is still there. However, there are a lot more game modes available for you to experience one of the game gods before trying them out in five-on-five conquest games. Smite is a little more user-friendly, but it's still as complicated as Dota with deep character builds that will take you many hours to figure out. But these are great games to play with friends on a free Friday night.
