6 free games to redeem and play this weekend! See list

It is true that video games are an increasingly expensive hobby, with launch titles arriving with prices that can be equivalent to 1/4 of a minimum wage. According to the IBGEat least 29.6% of the Brazilian population lived, until 2022, with an income of up to half the minimum wage per capita — that is, around 63.8 million people receiving up to R$606 per month.

It’s a pretty scary cut and it helps to explain, in particular, the appeal of free games on digital platforms in Brazil and other initiatives focused on democratizing access to entertainment and culture.

Thinking about it, the Voxel brings, in the following lines, a list with 6 free games to redeem and play over the weekend. This week, popular mobile game releases and new titles to discover are all worth noting. Check it out!
