FNAF download – free APK

If you don’t want to fork over any cash, you can try using UpToDown to download FNAF for free. However, while UpToDown is generally safe, keep in mind that, with any APK, you run the risk of installing a virus. To give yourself a little reassurance, you can use this online Virus Tool to scan the download page of the APK you want by entering the URL into the URL scanner.

We’ve checked the links to the following APKs, but it’s always important to proceed with caution, and scan the files after you download them to ensure they’re safe.

FNAF download – PC

As ScottGames and SteelWoolStudios released most of the FNAF games originally on PC, you can purchase most of them through Steam, GOG.com, or Humble Bundle.

FNAF fan games download

With the massive popularity of FNAF, there are heaps of fan games cropping up, several of which have been adopted by Scott Carhorne’s Fanverse. Many of these titles are made by passionate and talented creators just setting out in the games industry, and as such are usually free to download – though you’ll likely have to trawl through some very strange and low-quality creations to get to the good stuff. Some are only available on PC, while others are also playable on Android and iOS.

There are two ways of browsing and downloading FNAF fan games, but, as with all APK downloads, we advise you to proceed with immense caution. While both of the following sites seem safe and legitimate, that doesn’t mean that you can’t get a virus if you aren’t careful. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to look at the comments and reviews on each game, and always scan the files with anti-virus as soon as you download them.

The two best sites for finding FNAF fan games are:

If you want to be extra careful, the itch.io desktop app has a sandbox mode where you can run games in an environment with restricted settings, with a focus on attempting to prevent several typical attacks a malicious game could run on your computer. To find out more about this mode, head to this official blog post.

There’s also a brilliant FNAF fan game called Five Nights at Maggie’s R. You can download it free on Google Play or get the APK on UpToDown.

That’s it for our FNAF download guide. If you want even more scary situations and frightful fiascos to trawl through, check out our lists of the best Switch horror games and the best mobile horror games – they’re sure to keep you up at night.
