Unveiling the Ultimate Lineup of Free Games on Amazon Prime for August 2023

Highlights

To keep fans engaged and allow them to relive or get up to speed with the franchise, Prime Gaming frequently releases games just before their sequels.

Amazon Games has encountered obstacles as a gaming publisher, but its Prime Gaming sector persists in delivering commendable titles, positioning itself as a publisher with potential for the future.

In August, Amazon Prime gaming unveiled a collection of eight games that will be accessible for free to subscribers. Every month, Amazon extends an assortment of complimentary games for its Prime Gaming users to effortlessly download and delight in, without any extra charge.

In recent months, several popular games such as Prey, Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition, and Shovel Knight: Showdown, among others, have become available for free download and permanent keeping for subscribers. Prime Gaming often offers games right before the release of their new sequels, giving fans the opportunity to revisit or catch up on the franchise. For example, Baldur's Gate 2 was included last month, as Baldur's Gate 3 is launching for PC on August 3.

Prime Gaming continues this trend by adding Payday 2, along with its Gage Mod Courier DLC, to the list of free games next month. This aligns with the upcoming release of Payday 3 on September 21. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is also a highlight of the list, following the availability of its predecessor on July's free game lineup. In addition to these, August's lineup includes Farming Simulator 19, Foretales, Blade Assault, In Sound Mind, Driftland: The Magic Revival, and Summertime Madness. Subscribers will also have access to free content in Overwatch 2, Dead by Daylight, Call of Duty: Warzone, Black Desert Online, Fall Guys, Pokemon Go, Warframe, and Shadow Fight 3.

Star Wars games are currently enjoying a resurgence, thanks to the success of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor by Respawn Entertainment and the impressive gameplay reveal of Star Wars Outlaws by Ubisoft. This has led to speculation about the possibility of a revival for the beloved Force Unleashed duology, whether it be in the form of a sequel, remake, or reboot. While Lucasfilm Games has not made any official announcements, the inclusion of both third-person action titles on Prime Gaming this summer suggests that there may be something in store for fans of Starkiller in the future. However, at this point, it is merely speculation.

Amazon Games, as it navigates its position as a leading gaming publisher, has made the decision to cancel its free-to-play multiplayer shooter Crucible and a Lord of the Rings MMO. However, its Prime Gaming division remains committed to providing high-quality titles for its subscribers to enjoy on a monthly basis, free of charge. With exciting projects such as Bandai Namco's Blue Protocol, a Tomb Raider game, and another Lord of the Rings MMORPG in development, Amazon Games shows promise as a publisher worth keeping an eye on in the coming years.
