Update: Just as a reminder, today is the final day you'll be able to take advantage of this free game offer. Check out all the details below.
Original Article (Fri 3rd Jul, 2020 13:30 BST): Want to get your hands on a brand new Switch game for free today? Of course you do!
Today sees the launch of Infini on Nintendo Switch, a psychedelic adventure filled with puzzles, distinct worlds and more than 100 levels. Despite only launching today, you can get it for the low cost of £0 / $0 if you already own one of the following games:
If you own any of those three titles (or buy one of them now - Lydia is currently available for just £3.50), you'll find that Infini's usual £10.80 / $12 price will be reduced by 100% when adding it to your basket. Make sure to read our full review of Infini if you need to be convinced.
The offer's only available until the end of tomorrow, 4th July, so make sure to act on this fast if you want to take advantage of it. Of course, you might already own one of those three games thanks to Nakana.io's last promotion earlier this year.
A very generous offer indeed! Let us know if you'll be getting the game with a comment below.

How much are the other games and are they any good?
to bad for me don't got no money and i'm 33 cents short a game
And those games were free quite recently!
Free game if you have a game that nobody have... Ok...
Bought Lydia when it was on sale super cheap ages back and already got EQQO and Soul Searching free as a promotion from that so might as well keep adding to the pile with this one, as bizarre as it looks.
@whizzkidd Considering all three of those games have been available for free in the past, quite a few people probably own them.
@whizzkidd Lydia, Soul Searching and EQQ were free very recently though ...
@TryToBeHopeful they seem to be permanently free with every new game published by the publisher a good way to keep them in the best selling games I guess
Funnily enough I gave Soul Searching a go late last night after I picked it up along with Lydia and Eqqo when they were free. Seems quite fun so far, although the oar controls are a bit of a melon twister after half a bottle of rum.
I'm not sure Infini is a game I'll really enjoy but I'll definitely give it a go just because of the crazy graphics.
@whizzkidd Is even worst, almost all who have the games get those games because was free.
Oh great i get a free game if i already have a game nobody's heard of let alone bought. yippie!
All pish though unfortunately
@Zeldafan79
Loads of people have heard of/bought these games. Lydia/Eqqo/Soul Searching were all made free a while ago for anyone who had a copy of Manaspark. Manaspark has been reviewed here and they published an article about the free games here too.
Also, Manaspark itself was part of the Christmas giveaway from Qubic Games. I think there's probably a healthy number of people able to take advantage of the offer.
What's really nice about these games are you get them for free but then there's an option in-game to donate to a charity related to the theme of the game.
@MajinSoul They were? Noticed I already had Lydia. So free for me!
I guess I'm out of touch like Hall and oats then cause i ain't heard of any of these games. Perhaps i should look into them.
Downloading it now. Got the other games when they were free. I've only played through Lydia so far since that was the one I was interested in and was going to buy at some point anyway.
@Zeldafan79 Soul Searching is my fave from the bunch. It is really odd, has several weird mini games with no apparent connection to the main game, which feels like a 2D Wind Waker without an over arching story. It is very interesting. Eqqo is pretty but havent played it yet. Wasnt a fan of Lydia, but yeah...
Thank you for sharing this with us!! You guys have helped me get more deals and free games than I can count.
Yeap got it for free just like Lydia before it.
Got those 3 games for free just recently, but each was more horrible than the next...
No faith this will be any better...
And am I supposed to stop playing Ninjala?! Impossible.
I hated this game at first but it really grows on you.
Those memes with people being so utterly frustrated when they start is SPOT ON. Huge learning curve.
So is this just to put the game at the top of the downloads chart so others will be tricked thinking it's good and paying for it?
Another free game that I might not get around to playing.
I played a bit of EQQO but it started annoying me. Maybe I'll try it again.
@Snatcher You don’t have 33 cents in your couch cushions? I can venmo you 33 cents if you like.
It always boggles my mind how nakana.io, baltoro, and qubic always offer their games at generous sale prices often and give a LOT of games away if you have just one title, then by getting the fre game later they offer another free game if you have that one from earlier. This is true indie, with devs simply wanting exposure not massive profits!
guess i can't resist free unless it's from peta, found the trailer off putting but still downloaded it
Hello, publisher Nakana.io here I wanted to write a few words to explain why we're doing this offer. Yes, of course it's to give the game more visibility on eShop. We know too well that it is very hard for most indies to exist without a very generous deal, and with a game as peculiar as Infini, that's even harder. But we genuinely love the game and think/hope that fans of this genre might do too. So instead of asking "our players" to pay for it full price, just to make a bigger discount a few weeks after launch because of visibility issue, we decided that it would be better for everyone if we just made this free deal right away at launch!
The 3 listed games were all offered for free a couple of weeks ago. Glad I snapped them up now
That's pretty awesome and i got those games free recently as well so i can get this.
Pretty awesome deal! Thanks for the article. I needed to be alerted to this. Got Infini and I like it! It has super weird and interesting music/sound effects. The graphics run at 60fps, not that that's a big ask considering the simplicity on offer. I like the way the zoom feature is used as an essential gameplay mechanic.
@RandomNerds Thanks for the offer but i'm to young for a paypal, i'm under 16. I found 33 cents now I just need to find 5 bucks
I played a few stages then deleted it. I have better things to do with my time. I am cool with publishers positively manipulating visibility on the store with free and cheap games though as it is better for both the player and the publisher.
I have no problem with a free game and I actually liked the previous free game Lydia , the other 2 recent freebies I didn’t like , this one I played briefly and I really like the art style and the game is simple but fun . I guess there is no risk involved here if it’s free ...what do you have to lose ...nothing!
They did a similar offer recently with their games didn't they? I took it up and so Infini will be free for me
Excellent stuff. People will moan at anything. Purchased for free. Glad I saw this post else I would have missed it
With how often they give their games away I’m going to have the full catalog eventually, lol!
@nakana_mika thanks for organising this offer, but could you also include it for free to gamers who owns Mana Spark?? Hope to really try out this game and the others too😊
@60frames-please You have no clue how old your shtick has gotten, do you?
@JimmySpades Oh, thanks for letting me know! I'll quit commenting about one of my favorite things, for sure
Smart marketing for games that would normally run under the radar. Of course, still not spending my money on one of the other games no matter how cheap they are. $10 or 10¢, doesn’t warrant spending money if I know I’m not gonna play it. Watching a gameplay video of Inifini was enough to know I wouldn’t enjoy it. Reminds me of drug-influenced public-access animation from the late 90s. Hard pass.
@60frames-please You've never once commented on how your favorite thing is to repeat the same inane observation incessantly. You just do it.
This game's mechanic looks really cool. I picked up Lydia just to snag it. Kind of a no brainer. Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks devs!
@JimmySpades Has no one ever told you to mind your own damn business and shut up? I'm telling you! You don't have to say something just because you feel critical inside. It's always ok to not criticism someone. Just wanted to open your mind to the possibility of not attacking someone online. Do you strongly dislike frame rate discussions? Who cares! Shut up with your garbage comments on my posts about frame rate. Thank you for shutting the hell up : )
@whizzkidd Most who read news owns atleast one of these games.
Well known titles as they were freebies.
@60frames-please to be fair I thought the shtick was dumb at first, but in all honesty I’ve grown to appreciate your appreciation of well-tuned games. Keep it alive, despite the nay said by the nay-sayers.
@aznable Thanks. I wish people who don't like high frame rates could block my comments so they didn't even know I was discussing that aspect of games!
