69 arcade games for free in Windows 11

Since 1971, computer games have been offered on vending machines in penny arcades in the USA. They are therefore called arcade games. Some of them are so popular that they have made it into the 21st century. These include Minesweeper, Asteroid, Boing Frvr, Everyone, Planet Miner, Sugar Heros and My Planet.

Under version number 22312.1401.5.0, the Microsoft Store now offers many arcade games free of charge, which do not need to be downloaded but can be opened and played immediately with just one click. Microsoft obviously wants to make Windows 11 more attractive with this free offer. After all, most users still work with Windows 10.

One disadvantage, however, is that the games occasionally display advertising.

To access the 69 arcade games currently available, you must first ensure that the latest version of the Microsoft Store is installed on Windows 11. To do this, please call up Windows Updates.

Then start the Microsoft Store and click on "Gaming". You have to scroll down and then click on "Collections" and then on "Free games without download". In the selection, all you have to do is click on the game of your choice and it will start immediately.
