Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel hits 80 million downloads with free gems and packs up for grabs

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel just hit a massive milestone: 80 million downloads worldwide. Not bad for a game that only launched a little over three years ago. To say thanks, Konami is dishing out a bunch of free goodies for players who log in during the celebration period.

First up, there’s a hefty 1,000 free Gems on offer. That alone is worth logging in for. But there’s more: players can also grab three free packs from the brand new “Metal Raiders’ Dominance” Selection Pack, which introduces a pair of seriously cool new monsters. Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon has had a shiny upgrade thanks to Max Metalmorph, and Performage Trapeze High Magician adds some serious flair from another dimension.

On top of that, you can also snag a Silent Magician LV 8 icon just for showing up. It’s a nice little bonus if you’re a fan of the iconic spellcaster.

If you’re into logging in daily (and picking up free stuff), the celebration event is stacked with rewards over ten days. Expect hundreds more Gems, more Selection Pack tickets, and even a themed LP icon to add to your profile.

Since launch, Master Duel has carved out its place as the definitive way to play Yu-Gi-Oh! digitally. With cross-platform play, 4K visuals, and more than 10,000 cards to collect, it’s become a key part of the Yu-Gi-Oh! esports scene, including the official World Championship.

It’s free to play and available just about everywhere: PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Switch, iOS, and Android. If you haven’t checked it out yet (or just needed a reason to jump back in), 1,000 free Gems and a handful of packs isn’t a bad place to start.
