The new video game client is in beta and includes over 300 games free to subscribers.

Gamefly acquired Direct2Drive, a PC subscription-based rental service, back in May of this year and until recently we had yet to see what the online mail rental service would do with it. Gamefly didn't have any service for PC gamers and this seemed to be a way to change that. Then in August, Gamefly announced a PC client to be released at a later time.

Flash forward to now and the new download service has been released. Called simply the Gamefly Client, the program is free to everyone and members of the service have access to over 300 PC titles to play for free. These titles can be accessed in the "Unlimited PC Play" library. Standout titles in the selection include Saints Row 2, World of Goo, and Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut.

Other titles are available for purchase and download and your Gamefly account is fully available, including allowing you to pick games for your GameQ from consoles. Other features such as HD videos, screenshots, the latest news, and organization of your game collections are also available.

The Gamefly Client is more similar to Steam and Origin than to streaming services such as OnLive as you will have to download the titles and they must meet the minimum requirements to run on your computer. The new client is available for PC and Mac.
