The developers of Gorilla Tag and authorized partners have been known to host legitimate giveaways. For example, the game's 4th-anniversary celebration featured a livestream on YouTube with various prize giveaways. Razer has also partnered for official giveaways in the past. Following the official Gorilla Tag social media accounts and Discord server is the safest way to find legal contests.

Some sketchy software claims to give you "shared access" to a master library containing Gorilla Tag. These usually require you to disable your antivirus and patch a DLL file. The result? Your computer becomes a botnet zombie. Worse, these "cracks" often keylog your credentials for other platforms like Discord, PayPal, and Epic Games.

For those who already have a Steam account, you should be aware that the $20 Steam version isn’t just a purchase; it is essentially a $20 in-game currency pack that also unlocks the game. If you were planning on buying cosmetics, the Steam version is a great deal, as it gives you the game for free with your purchase of Shiny Rocks, the premium currency.

Steam offers a variety of free-to-play games that you can enjoy without any initial cost. While Gorilla Tag might not be free, exploring other titles can be a great way to find new favorites.
