Free creature collecting games on PC: 8 you can play today
Pokémon never came to PC, and most of the good collectors cost money. These eight are free, run on a normal PC and are worth your time. We say what is free and what is not, and which ones let you own the creatures you catch.
Free creature collecting games on PC in 2026 include AneeMate (free on Epic, Early Access), Illuvium (free to start), Axie Infinity (free starter team), Temtem: Swarm (free weekends and demo), Loomian Legacy and Doodle World on Roblox, Monster Crown demo and the classic fan made Pokémon Uranium. AneeMate and Illuvium let you own what you catch on chain.
1. AneeMate (Epic Games Store, free in Early Access)
A creature collecting adventure on a living island. Catch AneeMates whose spawns change with day, night and rain, raise and evolve them, build a base from a sci-fi kit and play as your creatures. Free during Early Access on Epic, built by us at QORPO, and shipped in public: every build shows on our live page. Creatures you own are yours on chain; no wallet needed to start.
2. Illuvium (free to start)
A high budget open world where you capture Illuvials and fight in auto battler arenas. The Overworld and Arena are free to start, with optional on chain ownership.
3. Axie Infinity (free starter Axies)
The veteran of web3 collectors. Free starter teams let you learn the card battler before you own anything.
4. Temtem: Swarm (demo and free weekends)
A survivors style spin off of Temtem. Not the full MMO, but a free way into the world and its creatures.
5. Loomian Legacy (Roblox)
The most polished creature game on Roblox: a full campaign, breeding, competitive battles, all free.
6. Doodle World (Roblox)
Hand drawn creatures, a long story and regular updates. Free, with cosmetics as the only paid part.
7. Monster Crown (demo)
A darker collector with cross breeding. The free demo covers the first hours.
8. Pokémon Uranium (fan made)
A complete fan made Pokémon game for PC with over 150 original creatures. Free, unofficial, and still the best way to get the classic formula on a computer.
Which free games let you own your creatures?
Only the web3 ones: AneeMate, Illuvium and Axie Infinity. In every other game on this list your collection lives in the studio's database and ends when the servers do. On chain ownership means you can trade your creatures, keep them across updates and nobody can delete them. In AneeMate the same token that powers the game, $QORPO, is the token behind the whole studio, so backing the game and backing the studio is one decision. What is $QORPO.
