Hvem vidste, at den måde et spil blev leveret på ville revolutionere spilindustrien? Tilbage^(Back) i 1900-tallet kunne du leje videospil, men det krævede at gå til en lejebutik som Blockbuster , håbe på, at spillet var der, så give dem dit ID, et depositum og betale lejegebyret. Så var der RedBox , men det er også væk. Nutidens spiludlejning kræver ikke engang, at du rejser dig op af stolen.

Vi siger udlejning af videospil, men vi mener virkelig leje, abonnementer og lovlige udbydere af gratis spil . ^{(free-to-play game)}Lad os se på de bedste videospiludlejnings- og abonnementstjenester for 2022.

14 Best Options for Video Game Rentals in 2022

Who knew the wаy a game was delivered would revolutionize the gaming induѕtry? Back in the 1900s, you could rent video games, but it required going to a rental store like Blockbuster, hoping the game was there, then givіng them your ID, a dеposit, and paying the rental fee. Then there was RedBox, but that’s gone too. Today’s game rentals don’t even require you to get out of your chair.

We say video game rentals, but we really mean rentals, subscriptions, and legal free-to-play game providers. Let’s look at the best video game rental and subscription services for 2022.

The last of the physical media video game rental services, GameFly will ship you as many games as you want to your mailbox. Shipping from and to GameFly is free.

So far GM2P’s game rental service has proven to be legal, although in a grayish area. They’ve been able to keep going because they only rent out as many copies of a game as they have legally purchased. It’s like how libraries can only lend out a book to one person at a time. The selection is a bit limited, but they’ve got some of the best gameplay franchises like Red Dead Redemption, Assassin’s Creed, and more.

3. Console Classix
