Amazon Announces 15 Free Games For Prime Day, Including TMNT & Star Wars

Amazonis providing Prime Gaming subscribers with several fantastic games as the company prepares for its annual Prime Day celebration and 2024’s selection of free goodies includes beloved classics and modern retro hits. The time every Prime subscriber anticipates is currently scheduled to take place between July 16 and July 17 and while that may still be a few weeks away at the time of writing, that doesn’t mean there aren’t already some rewards to unlock. Prime Day itself will likely pack a few extra surprises, but the road leading up to it is already paved with giveaways.

Per ComicBook, Prime Gaming subscribers will be able to unlock a total of 15 games in the lead-up to Prime Day with four games unlocking every few days; The full list of games, their respective dates of availability, and platform includes:

It’s a decent spread of titles so Prime Gaming subscribers should find themselves covered no matter their taste or genre preferences. Users won’t need to immediately pick up each of the games as they become available but once Prime Day has run its course, the selection will not be accessible so it’s best to keep those calendars marked.

So Many Great Games, So Little Time

Each of the games listed above will undoubtedly find an audience in some capacity given the sheer level of quality on offer but there are few that separate themselves from the crowd. Starting with the modern 2D brawler Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, the throwback retro game has made a name for itself as one of the best in the genre thanks to its vibrant animation and accessible combat that requires just enough skill to not devolve into mashing buttons. It launched to fantastic reviews in 2022 and has maintained its reputation with some excellent DLC characters.

Paired with the classic Knights of the Old Republic II, which is widely considered to be one of the best Star Wars games of all time, there’s enough content there to keep subscribers busy for days. A slower, more narrative-focused game that tells a story of an aspect of the franchise that’s often overlooked, players will need to think carefully before they commit to their decisions. It may not have aged all that well visually but the writing on display is timeless.

As for some of the other Amazon giveaways, players should also make some time for the excellent action-stealth game Hitman Absolution, while those looking for something more cozy ought to play Forager. Card Shark will appeal to those with a love of history and unique memory-game mechanics and Wall World is a great rogue-like with a unique twist to its setting. There’s a little something for everyone.
