Why can't I play this PC game?

If a PC game is not free-to-play, you must already own a copy of the game to play it on our computers. For example, you can buy a game on your Steam account, then play it on our computers. We are unable to have house licenses/free licenses for paid games. However, over half of our game library is free-to-play. To save time, please have your platform’s login information ready prior to playing.

Can I request a game to be added?

Yes! Submit any suggestions for new games to faugamingcenter@fau.edu or simply tell an attendant what game you’d like to see. We add new games to the computers on a regular basis. Note that new games may take a few business days to be approved and installed. We also only have so much digital space available for our games, so we apologize if your game is not available!
