All of these games are free to claim via the Microsoft Store and the Xbox app until June 30. The promotion amounts to $11.25 in savings for users who claim all of the titles on offer.
Free Atom Technologies Games To Claim Right Now
The oldest of these freebies is Reverse Snake Extreme, which was originally released in December 2022. Much like its name suggests, this title is inspired by the classic Snake genre, albeit with a notable twist: instead of playing as a snake, the player is tasked with controlling the food that the limbless reptile is trying to eat. This arcade title also attempts to mix things up by replacing the rectangular arenas of classic Snake games with more varied levels that feature obstacles in the vein of walls and even lava pools. Each individual round requires the player to avoid the snake for four minutes.
The newest Atom Technologies title that can currently be claimed free of charge is Project Walker, which debuted in January 2024. Regularly priced at $2.29, this arcade game tasks the player with trying to escape from a maze of one Dr. Nightshade, who kind of looks like a member of the Pac-Man Ghost Gang. Project Walker features a simple vaporwave aesthetic that's commonly seen in cyberpunk games, most commonly as part of their depictions of netrunning.
The rest of the newly discounted titles include Lost Chakras and In The Abyss, both of which are platformers. But while Lost Chakras offers a fairly traditional take on the genre, In The Abyss revolves around more unconventional mechanics such as gravity portals, which add another dimension to its gameplay by allowing the player to affect in-game physics. The final Atom Technologies title that's included in this wave of freebies is Wild Eclipse. Originally released in August 2023, Wild Eclipse is a platformer starring a fox called Pieto that's trying to navigate a world full of natural catastrophes. It features 17 biomes to explore and over a dozen fox cosmetics to unlock.
