Amazon Prime Gaming remains a pretty good way of scoring some monthly free games throughout 2022 and growing the list of AAA and indie titles you can check out on PC.
Included with your Prime or Prime Video memberships, Amazon Prime Gaming usually receives a new batch of games every month. The majority of these titles can be claimed on PC through the Amazon Games App and, in some cases, platforms like the Epic Games Store.
Provided things don’t change from past years, 2022’s Amazon Prime Gaming free games list gets new additions at the start of every month.
Eligible subscribers can usually claim these titles until the start of the next month, so there’s a generous period of time to decide if the deal is worth it even if you’re not yet subscribed to Prime or Prime Video.
The titles featured so far have included quite a few notable releases and, given how the free games come come attached to a subscription service that grants other benefits, it’s understandable why people see Amazon Prime Gaming as a good dea.
Below, you’ll find the free games available via Amazon Prime Gaming each month throughout 2022.
