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)

Not sure if this is what @ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com was referring to, but I found free-games-claimer from a quick search which seems similar and has a container image at `ghcr.io/vogler/free-games-claimer`.

I agree.

Not going to go back to giving money to amazon just because they got a new hat.

Well, it's exactly that in technical terms, yes. Somehow, "complementary games included (subject to limited-time redeemability on a monthly basis) each month you subscribe" is not as marketable from Amazon as from Humble Bundle. Privacy is becoming serious business now that things outside the gaming industry are becoming... a game of chance? Eh, whatever, I'm not here for politics and this seems like an okay way to buy GOG titles.

It's weird seeing free game associated with subscription. I'd probably say it's complimentary. I mean technically it could be free if someone else in the family is paying for Amazon prime and you're just reaping the benefits of prime gaming.

Thanks for sharing! I’ve been bad about checking these recently. I think there’s some docker service that will auto do it for you

I always forget about this perk of my Amazon subscription so thanks for posting this. I jumped over and claimed all the GOG codes. I've never tried the Lego games using Proton so I hope they work.

I'm not going to redeem the MS store games, but I fell when I download them from the internet it's not piracy, it's my workaround to use my legitimate copy on Linux.
