Jump to:What is Amazon Prime Gaming?

Prime Gaming comes with every Amazon Prime membership and acts as a service to bolster your gaming experience. As long as you link your Amazon and Twitch accounts, you'll be good to go. Every month, members get access to exclusive in-game loot, free games, and a free Twitch subscription.

What it's not is its own streaming service. This isn't the equivalent of Stadia, Amazon Luna, or even Xbox Game Pass. All Prime Gaming does is grant you some extra goodies and a handful of free games to play.

Free games

Prime Gaming members get a handful of free PC games every month that they can download and keep forever. The games in June 2021, for example, include Battlefield 4, BFF or Die, Newfound Courage, Lost in Harmony, Batman: The Telltale Series, Mugsters, Spitkiss, Frog Climbers, Mana Spark, and Bombslinger.

While some games are only available through the Amazon Games App on Windows 10, others can be downloaded through their native storefronts. Battlefield 4, for example, can be redeemed through Origins.

Free in-game items

Free in-game items can range from currency, cosmetic packs, and more in dozens of games. In June 2021, Prime Gaming members can get up to GTA$400,000 in GTA Online, the Bear and Bird Cannon Pack in Sea of Thieves, the Arcslayer E-Blade Sword Bundle in Dauntless, and plenty of other add-on content for around 40 games. Offers sometimes end during the middle of the month, so you'll want to grab them while you can.

Twitch subscription

Prime members also get a free Twitch subscription each month (a $4.99 value) that can be used to support their favorite streamers. This also grants the ability to chat with fellow members and you'll receive exclusive Twitch chat colors and emotes.

Amazon Prime Gaming: Price

Amazon Prime Gaming is a part of your normal Amazon Prime subscription for $12.99 per month so you don't have to pay any extra for it. You can also sign up for a free 30-day trial and cancel anytime if you're not satisfied.

With Amazon Prime, you get a number of benefits, including free Prime Delivery (free two-day shipping or free same-day shipping in certain areas) and access to Prime Video, which features a number of original series and movies. You also get access to exclusive services like Prime Now and Prime Pantry, along with exclusive discounts.

Should I use Amazon Prime Gaming?

If you already have Amazon Prime, you should absolutely take advantage of what Prime Game offers. It's completely included in your Prime subscription, so there's no reason not to.

However, if you're wondering whether you should get Amazon Prime specifically for Prime Gaming, then the answer is no. There's just not enough value for what it offers at $12.99 per month if you're only buying it for Prime Gaming benefits. If you're looking to buy Amazon Prime and play a lot ot of games, it's a solid deal. Just make sure you'll use most of the other benefits it grants you.
