World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game. Dedicated to armoured warfare during World War II and beyond, it is one of the biggest online games in the world.
Your arsenal includes hundreds of armoured vehicles from various nations, such as Germany, the Soviet Union, the USA, France, the United Kingdom, and many more.
Five major tank classes are available in the game, each with their own strengths and roles on the battlefield.
Free to play
World of Tanks may have been around for ten years now, but it's never too late to get involved.
It's also FREE to download and play. Head to the official website and select Download Game from the drop-down menu.
THAT WAS EASY: Now you just have to survive and thrive in-game!
Of course, before you download it you'll need to make sure your PC meets the system requirements.

There are three tiers of requirements for World of Tanks - Minimum, Recommended, and Ultra.

Remember to clear out some hard drive space as you'll still want a good 55 GB to download and run the game.
