Amazon Prime Gaming has unveiled the list of eight free games available for subscribers to download and play in August. In previous months, they offered games like Prey, Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition, and Shovel Knight: Showdown for free.
Sometimes, Prime Gaming offers a game just before its sequel is released, allowing fans to catch up on the story or relive their favorite moments. For instance, Baldur’s Gate 2 was free in July, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is set to launch on PC on August 3.
In August, Prime Gaming continues this trend with Payday 2 and its Gage Mod Courier DLC, which will be free before Payday 3’s release on September 21. Another sequel available this month is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, following the first game that was free in July.
The other free games in August include Farming Simulator 19, Foretales, Blade Assault, In Sound Mind, Driftland: The Magic Revival, and Summertime Madness.
Subscribers also get access to free content for other popular games such as Overwatch 2, Dead by Daylight, Call of Duty: Warzone, Black Desert Online, Fall Guys, Pokemon Go, Warframe, and Shadow Fight 3, which offers extra bonuses and rewards.
With the success of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws, Star Wars games are experiencing a resurgence, leading some fans to hope for a new installment in the Force Unleashed series.
Amazon Games is still establishing itself as a major game publisher, with some canceled projects like Crucible and a Lord of the Rings MMO. However, its Prime Gaming division consistently offers enticing free games every month. Additionally, Amazon Games has promising titles in development, including Blue Protocol, a Tomb Raider game, and another Lord of the Rings MMORPG, making it a publisher to watch for in the future.
