How to Get Into PC Games in 2025 (An Easy Guide for Beginners)

Step 1: Dive Into Free-to-Play Games

You don’t have to buy anything to feel what PC gaming is like. The free games today are better than most of the paid games you’d find a few years ago.

Start with these:

  • Valorant (Riot Games): A tactical first-person shooter where great communication and quick aim win matches. The Indian community is big, so you’ll find teammates and rivals at all hours.

  • CS2 (Steam): The shooter you’ve heard about for over a decade is back and better. Quick rounds and even quicker reflexes keep the adrenaline pumping.

  • Apex Legends: A battle royale that’s all about smooth movement and team plays. Grab your friends, drop in, and have a blast.

  • League of Legends: Love strategy? This multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) is still the biggest esports title on the planet. Teamwork and tactics win the day.

💡 These games are free, run smoothly on mid-range PCs, and show you why so many gamers keep coming back for more.

Step 2: Dive into the Game Libraries (Steam, Epic, Riot)

PC gaming is more than the games; it’s the game libraries that feel like mini universes.

Top libraries to explore:

  • Steam: Over 50,000 titles, plus friends can message you, you can snap and post screenshots, and you can hang out in game-specific groups.

  • Epic Games Store: Every week, they hand out a free AAA game; they even gave away Cyberpunk 2077 for a whole week!

  • Riot Client: Get everything Riot in one spot—Valorant, League of Legends, and TFT.

Each library has chat, friends lists, and coins for achievements. Jump in, and it’s like stepping into a digital city where games, friends, and leaderboards are all on the same street.

Step 3: Pick the Right Gear (Try Renting from Rentkar)

Let’s be real: You won’t miss out if you skip that ₹1 lakh custom build.

A solid mid-range rig will run Valorant at 144 FPS without breaking a sweat.

What you really need:

  • CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel i5 12th Gen

  • GPU: RTX 3060 (perfect for 1080p and competitive play)

  • RAM: 16GB DDR4

  • Monitor: 144Hz refresh rate (a must for FPS)

  • Peripherals: A gaming mouse and a mechanical keyboard

💡 But why spend big right away? Rent the gear first, get the feel, and only buy when you’re sure.

Rentkar lets you rent a powerful gaming PC with RTX graphics and a 144Hz monitor, all delivered to you in 2 hours in Mumbai. Try PC gaming without spending ₹1 lakh all at once.


Step 4: Dive Into Competitive Play and Community

The best part of PC gaming is the community and competition.

Here’s how to jump in:

  • Play Ranked: Jump into Valorant’s ranked queue and feel the rush of winning a clutch 1v3.

  • Join Discord: Connect with teammates, find squads, and share memes into the night.

  • Stream or Watch: Tune into Twitch or YouTube for tips and epic plays from pro gamers.

PC gaming is more than games; it’s a living, breathing community where every match, every team call, and every meme chat pulls you deeper into the action you see online.
