This month’s titles have been revealed (as Amazon always does!)

‘But what is Prime Gaming’? I’m new to it!

It’s as simple as free games every month! Prime Gaming offers a rotating selection of free PC games each month, ranging from indie titles to AAA classics. This is dependent on you having an Amazon Prime subscription, but if you’ve been near my Mastodon posts at all you’ll know I can’t stop shouting about how good the deal is.

To me, it’s the best deal in gaming (mostly because I get so many GOG titles each month!), I just love it. Once claimed, the games are yours to keep forever (usually via Epic Games, GOG, or Amazon Games launcher).

Past giveaways have included games like

  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

  • The BioShock games (Remastered and originals)

  • Shadow of Mordor

  • Dishonored

…and like, why even bother listing them, it’s a lot

Quick summary for how it works:

  • Requires an active Amazon Prime or Prime Video membership.

  • Games must be claimed within the monthly window (they don’t carry over).

  • Some games require linking accounts (e.g., Epic Games)

    As I post whenever someone complains about them not being free in [email protected]: you can sign up for a free trial of prime, claim the thirty or so games currently available, cancel, and keep all the games forever without having to give a penny to Amazon.

    Corporate bribery to lock you into some shit service like amazon. No thanks…I’ll keep my money, and just buy the games I want instead. I will save money in the long run

      Nah, you can unsubscribe after a month. If the price of the games you want is more expensive than a month of Prime, you come out ahead, and it can frequently work out in your favor.
