Humble Bundle Monthly: What is it?
Whether you’re a hardcoregamer, or just like hoarding awesome titles in your virtual library, we have some exciting news for you. Humble Bundle is an online platform where you can get a lot ofgames, but also books, comics, and even software, for a bargain price.
If you’re already familiar with this service, it’s time to get down to business. You can grab Humble Bundle’s awesome deals in various ways: you can either wait for your desired titles to show up in bundles, purchase a Humble Choice plan, or check out the Humble Store.
Humble Monthly vs Humble Choice
It’s no longer a secret; Humble Bundle has been here for a long while and has already built some solid reputation. If you feel a bit nostalgic (much like we do) you’ll surely remember there was a time when you could pay as little as $12 per month in exchange for a lot ofgames. We refer to this pleasant time as the “Humble Monthly” era.
However, times have changed and Humble Monthly has grown into what today we know as Humble Choice. It’s similar, but not exactly the same. There are three different plans, and you can choose thegamesyou get to keep. As a result, there’s no longer a standard $12 monthly payment, as each plan is priced differently and offers you a different amount of content.
Note:if you have a Humble Monthly (classic) plan since before the Humble Choice came to be, you can keep using it. However, if you cancel it (unsubscribe), you will lose it forever. To make matters worse, there’s no way to revert to the Classic plan once you’ve unsubscribed.
How does Humble Choice work?
Even if you miss the good ol’ days when you paid a flat $12 monthly fee for games galore, many users argue that Humble Choice is fairer to the average consumer. The cheapest option ($5) grants you access to a DRM-free game catalog, whereas the most expensive plan ($20) lets you choose 9 titles every month from a 10+ selection of curatedgames.
Additionally, as long as you’re a subscriber, you get some generousdiscountsoff certain titles in the Humble Store. Thus, the Lite and Basic subscriptions grant you a 10% offdiscount, while the Premium plan can shave up to 20% off your purchases.
One thing that’s worth mentioning is that unlike the bundles section, Humble Choice doesn’t offer anything besidesgames. At least not for the time being, anyway. Long story short, this monthly subscription was designed withgamersin mind, and will probably stay that way.
Humble Choice May 2020
Another important, yet somewhat obvious piece of info we didn’t cover is that the list of curated games changes each month. So there are slim chances you’ll get to see the samegamein different selections.

May 2020 extras:
Note:depending on your Humble Choice plan, you’ll be able to pick 9, 3, or nogamesat all from this compilation. The Premium plan lets you choose 9 games for keeps, the Basic one allows 3 game grabs, while the Basic plan only gives you access to the Humble Trove. Which brings us to the next part of our article:
Humble Trove: Free & DRM-free games
The Humble Trove is a nice touch to the Humble Choice plans. It’s only fair that Basic plan subscribers get something besides store discounts, right? Joke aside, regardless of the plan you wish to purchase, Humble Bundle offers you free access to the Humble Trove.
Thus, the Trove is but a collection of DRM-free games that you can download on your PC and play for free. That being said, as long as you’re a Humble Choice subscriber, you’ll always have access to this catalog.
If you cancel your Humble Choice subscription you won’t be able to access the Trove again. On the bright side, you’re free to play thegamesthat you’ve already downloaded to your PC before your subscription expired.
Humble Trove’s contents [updated April 2020]
We’ve compiled a full list of thegamesyou’ll find in the Humble Trove. We’re always updating the list with the latest additions, so you can rest assured that we won’t miss any title, regardless of its “freshness.” Therefore, without further ado, here are the Humble Trove titles, sorted from newest to oldest (appearance):
As you can see, there’s plenty enough titles to keep you entertained for days, weeks, or even months if you’re not a fan of speedruns. If you feel that’s not enough, you can purchase a Basic, or Premium subscription plan, for 3, respectively 9 more games each month, aside from the Trove’s content.
