PSA: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Is Free From EA
EA’s On the House program has a new offering this morning. Out goes Zuma, and in comes a classic real-time strategy game.
Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 is available for free via EA’s Origin platform. Originally released in 2000 by now-defunct Westwood Studios, the On the House version comes with the Yuri’s Revenge expansion and all of the delicious cheese of live-action cutscenes.
Red Alert and its sequel take place in an alternate timeline in which Soviet Russia attempts a European takeover. Players can assume the roles of the allied forces or play as the Soviets.
EA’s On the House page says that its severs are overloaded with download requests for the title. It’ll be available again soon.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
