Amazon Prime's Nine Free Games For August Finally Revealed
Amazon Prime Members Get Nine Free Games This August, And Five Are Available Now
In a world where gamers are looking to subscription services more frequently amid the rising cost of games and the hardware on which you need to play them, the best deal in the game subscription service business is still one you’re probably already signed up to. Prime Gaming, a service that provides you with a slew of games at no additional cost if you have an Amazon Prime subscription.
And on a platform you already own, as almost all of the games given away through Prime Gaming are for PC.
A little different from the norm this month, as for the first time in a while, Prime skipped a week. No new games were added last Thursday, but don’t worry, normal service has been resumed. August’s Prime Gaming freebies have been revealed, and five of them are available to claim right now.
Amazon Makes Up For A Late Start With Five Free Games
The headliner of the first batch of games is Steelrising. A fantastic RPG from Spiders and one you can add to your library without paying an extra penny right now. Yet another Escape Room game joins it, continuing a months-long trend for Prime Gaming's giveaways - this month it's Pyramids and Aliens. Airship: Kingdom Adrift, Right and Down, and Hiveswap Friendsim complete what must be one of the biggest drops for a single day in Prime Gaming giveaway history.
The other two drops this August aren't quite as big, but hey, it's still games being giving to you for having a subscription that you'd have anyway, so can't complain. On August 20, start spray painting to your heart's content in Spray Paint Simulator, and get a taste of the good like via Royal Romances: Forbidden Magic. Rounding out this month's freebies on August 27 will be Havendock and Clash: Artifacts of Chaos.
Aside from being part of a service millions already use for Prime Video and free deliveries, the edge Prime Gaming has over other video game subscription services is that the titles you claim will never be taken away from you, at least not by Amazon. Once claimed and downloaded, they are yours to keep forever. Even if your subscription were to expire seconds after you claimed them. Something of a novelty in the current era.
Every game you can claim through Prime, along with when and where you can claim them, can be found below.
