Capcom Arcade Collection now free for download on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox One consoles

If you have been hankering for the classic games of yesteryear when gaming involved hunkering down in smoky arcades and shoving in coins into arcade machines, you’ll appreciate what the Capcom Arcade Collection has to offer as it’s now free to download on Steam, the PS4 and Xbox One consoles.

Previously available on the Nintendo Switch, the Capcom Arcade Collection is essentially a front-end for you to buy Capcom classic arcade games published between 1984 to 20021, with 32 games available and the option to tweak game speed, difficulty, display settings, display filters and more. You also get the advantage of a Rewind feature if you are particularly butter-fingered.
