FIFA 14 has become the most popular freeware game on Windows 8.1 right now, receiving quite a lot of hits since it was launched a couple of months ago.

At this point, FIFA 14 holds the leading position with more than 7,800 ratings and an overall score of 4 stars, while Asphalt 8: Airborne comes second with no less than 46,000 ratings. Fail Hard, Despicable Me: Minion Rush, Cut the Rope, and Microsoft Solitaire Collection come next with several thousand ratings.

FIFA 14 is available with a freeware license on Windows 8.1 and even includes World Cup 2014 content, such as licensed national teams and kits and the Adidas Brazuca team.

“Featuring 34 leagues, over 600 licensed teams, and more than 16,000 players. From the English Premier League to La Liga and beyond. Plus, for the first time on mobile, listen to commentaries in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish!” the official game description published in the store reveals.

At this point, there are more than 166,000 apps in the Windows Store, many of which are included in the games category and come with a freeware license. Of course, the majority run on both desktops and tablets, including Microsoft's very own Windows RT tablet-oriented platform.
