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.
I seem to have injured some people, I get the stance on Amazon - no one likes the megacorps. But if you’re subscribed, I can’t see how ‘free’ GOG games are a bad thing to anyone.
As with all offers like this Amazon are hoping that it causes people who weren’t subscribed before to stat paying them regularly, and posts like this are kind of giving them free advertising.
It’s similar to recommending something like reward credit cards (where you can make money off them as long as you pay them off in full and never pay any interest), if you’re sensible enough with your money then you can get a freebie but the provider is looking to profit off you messing up or forgetting.

Thanks for the tip for those new to this!
