Play it Forward: Receive a game, play it, then give it to someone else.

This subreddit is about gifting more than receiving, you are expected to give back if you receive a game.

Create a thread to give a game, you can hold a contest or pick a random winner. The winner plays the game, then buys a game and makes their own giveaway.

No Key Drops No External Giveaways

Please read the complete rules and guidelines, for details before posting.

Read the FAQ


Not all comments will be visible. Comments are automatically removed for users who do not meet the minimum requirements.

Here's how this works:

To give a game, create a thread and have a contest or random drawing. When you are ready, pick the winners and mark the thread as closed.

Winners play the game, then buy a copy to give to someone else. If you didn't like the game, you can give a game you do like. You are expected to give back if you receive games.

Read the the rules and faq before posting!


Some important details (for complete rules see the Rules and Guidelines button above):

  1. We do not allow giveaways hosted on other sites.

  2. Your entries will be removed automatically if your reddit account doesn't meet the minimum requirements.

  3. If you receive a game on PiF, it is absolutely forbidden to trade or sell it. Violation of the rule results in a permanent ban.

  4. Gifters post new threads only, no requests are allowed.

  5. When the giveaway has completed, edit the post with the username(s) of the winners.

  6. You must wait at least 24 hours before choosing a winner.

  7. Asking for donations or requiring users to visit a website is forbidden. This includes requiring comments, likes, follows, or subscriptions.

  8. Games won are to be redeemed on your steam account. You may not transfer, sell, give, or trade the game to anyone else.

  9. Make sure to include your Steam ID when entering for a game.

  10. If you win a giveaway but don't want the game anymore, then you must give it back to the gifter so he/she can pick another winner.

  11. Comment counts are not accurate. Comments are moderated and removed for various reasons. See the FAQ for more info.

  12. Please don't drop keys. It makes it unfair for others, and your key might get caught by a bot.

Riddle Tower Released Today On Stream - Giveaway 1 Key

Hello everyone! 😊

My name is Georgios, and I am the developer of Riddle Tower, which is available on Steam. This project holds a special place in my heart, as I've always had a deep passion for riddle puzzles and everything related to them.

Riddle Tower is all about solving a wide variety of riddles, including classic riddles, math brain teasers, and rebuses. The main story features riddles inspired by two classic games from my childhood, Notpron and GodTower, known for being some of the toughest riddle games of their time.

If you like what you see I will be more than happy to to see your feedback. I kindly ask you to wishlist the game on Steam and join my Discord server for more updates, giveaways, and solutions to the toughest puzzles in the game.

I will giveaway a key to the game in the comments here so feel free to comment anything you like about it.

Thank you, everyone!

Unused Xbox 360 download code for Minecraft

I found a digital code for a digital copy of Minecraft on 360 I bought from GameStop back in 2012, thinking I was going to get a disc of the game. I remember being sorely disappointed since my family didn't have WiFi at the time and couldn't connect to Xbox Live. It's on a first come first serve basis.

Paying It Forward at r/PlayItForward: Spreading the Joy of Gaming

I'm thrilled to be part of this amazing community dedicated to sharing the joy of gaming with others. I firmly believe in the power of kindness and generosity, and I'm excited to contribute to this spirit of giving. Here's what I'd like to offer and receive:

Giving Back: I have a collection of games that I'd love to share with fellow gamers. Whether it's a digital code, a physical copy, or in-game items, I want to give back to the community. If you're interested, let me know your gaming platform preferences and what type of games you enjoy. I'll do my best to match your interests with what I have available.

Requests: On the flip side, if there's a game or in-game item that you've been longing for, feel free to make a request. Let me know what you're looking for, and if I happen to have it, I'll gladly share it with you. Please keep in mind that availability may be limited, but I'll do my best to accommodate as many requests as possible.

Sharing Experiences: In addition to sharing games, I believe that the gaming community thrives on connections and shared experiences. If you have any memorable gaming stories, achievements, or recommendations, please share them! Let's inspire and entertain each other with our tales from the virtual world.

Paying It Forward: As we engage in these acts of kindness, let's encourage each other to pay it forward. If you receive a game or item, consider giving back to the community in some way, whether it's through future giveaways or supporting other gamers in need. Together, we can create a positive and supportive environment for everyone.

I'm excited to join this community of giving and receiving, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share the joy of gaming with fellow enthusiasts. Let's make r/PlayItForward a hub of kindness, generosity, and shared gaming experiences!

Joining r/PlayItForward to share games, fulfill gaming requests, and engage in conversations about memorable gaming experiences. Let's spread kindness, generosity, and the joy of gaming within this wonderful community!
