It seems the catch for playing free games is that they will use every trick in the book to make you pay - often many times more than you would pay for a game outright. In-app purchases and micro-transactions have become the norm in free games these days, withholding content or frustrating you to try and make you buy power-ups.
With this project there are a number of things that I set out to achieve: 1. I've used this experience along with some new ideas to make this website,, my fresh take on a free game website. What started as a hobby has turned in to my passion and over the past fourteen years I've learned a lot about web games. I've also developed over a hundred web games and they've been played somewhere around a billion times! I picked up some cool awards along the way including a Guinness World Record and a BAFTA Special Commendation. My previous site,, was visited by 65 million people. I've been developing free games and websites since 2006. It lost 77,000 subs in the same period a year prior.Hi, my name is Gaz, welcome to my website. Dish, which recently merged with EchoStar, reported a loss of 65,000 Sling TV subscribers in the fourth quarter of 2023, bringing the total to 2.06 million. In recent years, Sling has struggled to keep subscribers, but Arcade could set the streamer apart from competitors as it offers unique and interactive entertainment for users. However, the spokesperson said the company couldn’t share a specific date for when it’ll be available for Apple TV and Roku. Sling is adding support for more devices in the next month, including most smart TVs. “We are exploring all possibilities to bring our customers the broadest game catalog and the best gaming experience possible,” the spokesperson told us.Īrcade is currently only on Amazon Fire TV and Android TV. When Netflix launched games in 2021, the streaming giant went on a buying spree as part of its gaming push, acquiring six companies to help build out its collection of titles. There’s also a possibility that Sling acquires independent studios and developers.
Sling didn’t say if it would partner with other gaming companies to expand its gaming library, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it did. The current game selection is thanks to Sling’s partnership with Play.Works, a connected-TV games provider that distributes games on more than 200 million televisions, and has teamed up with various major TV companies like Comcast, Cox, Samsung, Vizio and more. Sling will also introduce new games before big events like football season. New titles are to be added every few months, including Astroids and other titles, a company spokesperson told TechCrunch.
Sling TV says that 10 games will be available at launch. Meanwhile, Netflix’s and YouTube’s gaming offerings are only for paid subscribers. Sling TV also allows users to expand to full screen to have a more immersive playing experience. Notably, the experience is free for Sling TV and Sling Freestream customers, and they can play games on a split-screen while simultaneously watching live TV content - providing entertainment during commercial breaks.
DISH-owned streaming service Sling TV announced today the launch of its new gaming platform called “ Arcade,” featuring classic arcade games like Tetris, Wheel of Fortune, Sweet Sugar, Solitaire Clash, Poker Online and Doodle Jump, among others.
