Amazon's acquired Twitch streaming service already offers free content to those with a Prime membership, in the form of Prime Loot, but it appears that Twitch is looking to expand on that idea. On March 15th, the "Games with Prime" program will kick off, and subscribers to Amazon Prime will get a monthly assortment of games, much like Xbox's Games with Gold, or PlayStation's PS+. The first month will include six titles; Tales from Candlekeep, Tomb of Annihilation, Mr. Shifty, Shadow Tactics, Oxenfree, and Superhot. These games will be claimable until the end of the month on March 31st, and will switch over to a new set of free games on April 1st, which will be; Tales from the Borderlands, SteamWorld Dig 2, Kingsway, Tokyo 42, and Dubwars. If you want to access any of the games, you'll need Twitch's desktop app in order to do so.

neat but you have to use twitch's shitty game launcher

 

I already got Oxenfree from Humble Bundle and that was actually free.

 

Good thing I just subscribed recently. Even before this it was more than affordable considering you get to watch free movies, and TV shows on Amazon Prime Video too.

 

As somebody who subscribes to Prime explicitly for the shipping benefits, the extra gamer loot is just a bonus. Really awesome that I can get free games with it too - and more regularly than what Twitch Prime has already been giving out. Only wish you could redeem it on Steam, but hey, can't argue with the price of free. As long as they don't raise the price of Prime, I'm happy.

 

This is indeed news, because they're widening the Prime Loot service to offer far more games a month than they have previously, and apparently taking the service more seriously. And it's worth informing people about, because there's so many Prime subscribers that might miss the opportunity to redeem these games. It's not hard to read.

 

Nope. Don't need another launcher to further clutter up my computer.

 

Heck ya!

 

Where the hell do I navigate to get ma games?

 

This is pretty cool. The real test is (1) if they actually keep this up for several months on a consistent basis and (2) they don't just recycle games. It's really (1) that irks me the most, even above my previous complaints about being Windows only and tied to their launcher, because they've been very inconsistent on times, offers, etc, and they don't go out of their way to notify you unless you're basically constantly logged in--something I really try to avoid on all websites to minimize the already pervasive tracking.

So, not trying to sound negative. I'm just waiting to see what they actually do.
