Free Games Settings
You'll find these options under Settings → Free Games.
Free Game Notifications
Get a system notification when a new free Steam game becomes available
SGI periodically checks for new free games and will notify you when one appears. Note that notifications may not be immediate. There can be a short delay depending on when SGI last checked.
To avoid being notified about games you already own, make sure your games list is up to date by clicking Refresh in Games.
Auto Redeem Free Games
Automatically add free Steam games to your account as soon as they become available (Pro Gamer tier)
When enabled, SGI will claim free games on your behalf without any input from you. What else this requires depends on how you signed in:
- Steam Sign-in: no extra step needed, just turn this on
- Legacy Sign-in: you must also click Sign in to Steam on this tab first, and stay signed in, for auto-redeem to work
If you enable Auto Redeem, consider also enabling Free Game Notifications so you can see which games were claimed on your behalf.
