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.

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!

"Dominion of Darkness" - simulator of the Dark Lord/Lady

"Dominion of Darkness” is a strategy/RPG text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots.  Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new. Feedback is very much welcome. Very, very much.

Payday 2 code to giveaway

I got in the Humble Bundle. I'm from the UK if that matters?

Shout up, I'll choose a random winner later.

EDIT: What a community, one reply, downvoted and not even a thanks from the person who took the game. Last time I'll ever play it forward, how sad.

Just lost ability in all Fingers except for my thumbs. PS5 (Any games) or iPhone recommendations?

tl;dr disabled best friend can only use thumbs now/has a ps5 and an iPhone/sister just passed away/game recommendations?

Real quick story to explain the situation. My best friend who's a great guy has a rare genetic disorder and his muscles and joints are getting weaker/deteriorating fast and it's to the point where he essentially can only play games with his thumbs (The doctors aren't worried about him playing games with his thumbs). He also lost his sister yesterday. He has a PS5 and an iPhone. He used to love to play video games (Almost any genre) but loves to get lost in open worlds (Red Ded, God Of War, etc.) but would enjoy any distracting and fun games when his body hurt (We used to do battle royales when he was able to). I'm trying to find games that will provide something entertaining and distracting when he needs it (Short and long-term). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. IOS game recommendations would be much appreciated but anything (Classic or new Playstation) would be awesome. I can't think of any action or cool adventure games but I'm not a huge gamer. Thanks so much.

Game ADVENT CALENDAR (give me advice for good games)

Hello,

I'm going to make a gaming advent calendar for my friends. There are a lot of stream keys on the internet for prices around 0,5 - 3 dollars (Witcher II, This war of mine, Gothic, The evil Within, The walking dead, Resident vil, Fallout...) I need advice which good games to choose. They can be older ones, or they can be easy chill ones as well. I will be glad for any advice. And I recommend you also give this gift to someone. The reactions are always excellent!

Thanks for tips gamer fellas!
