If you’ve been itching to get your hands on SEGA’S NiGHTS Into Dreams, then you’re in luck, my friend.
The company celebrated its 60th anniversary back in 2020 and to celebrate, made NiGHTS Into Dreams free for a limited-time.
Technically, that giveaway ended over three years ago but it's been pointed out by a nifty bargain hunter that you can actually trigger an error prompting the giveaway to work once more.

This handy trick was spotted by Reddit user AlexRends, quickly garnering hundreds of responses from many grateful fellow gamers.
If you attempt to sign-up via SEGA’s 60th anniversary celebration website, which is what you need to do to secure the game, you’ll be met with a URL that reads https://localhost:3000/.../ - but according to AlexRends, you just need to change localhost:3000 to sega60th.com in that URL and it should work, granting you access.
PlayStation Plus subscribers will soon be able to download Midnight Suns from the service’s extra tier.
Now that this glitch is gaining popularity online, there is every chance that SEGA could revisit the website and close the loophole so as the saying goes, act sooner rather than later.
