Albeit

Hello EnglishForward. Is it OK to use albeit in the example below?

" He's so generous today. He's giving away games albeit free."

What does albeit here mean? Is he giving away the games for free or giving away free games?

Thanks.

Nugso Is it OK to use albeit in the example below? No, not at all. 'Giving away' makes 'free' utterly redundant, in the first place.

Thanks for the answer, Mister Micawber. By the way can I also say "He has arrived albeit late". If yes, in comparison, which one is the better version?
