Prime Gaming is Amazon\u2019s revamp of Twitch Prime. The gaming-related membership that it offers to subscribers of its Amazon Prime service.
\nIt\u2019s essentially Amazon\u2019s way of giving back to the gamers with a bunch of free stuff. And it\u2019s something you should definitely take advantage of if you enjoy playing video games. Because there can be some pretty sweet rewards in there.
\nWhat is Prime Gaming really though? In this post we break down the ins and outs of the service. What it costs, who has access, what the benefits are and more. Prime Gaming is not a new service. Not really. Even before its name change from Twitch Prime, it had been around for at least a couple of years.
\nWhat is Prime Gaming?
\nPrime gaming is Amazon\u2019s gaming-centric offering for Prime membership subscribers. Before Prime Gaming it was known as Twitch Prime.
\nBut Amazon seems to have felt that more people were unfamiliar with Twitch than people that were familiar. Just about everyone however, knows what Prime is in relation to Amazon. So dropping the Twitch and slapping \u201cgaming\u201d on the end perhaps makes things a little more clear.
\nWith Prime Gaming, you get a series of rewards for various games. These rewards are rotating and are not always the same. And not all rewards stick around for the same length of time as others. But, the rewards are always something useful for some of the most popular games on all platforms. Including mobile.
\nTo put it another way, Prime Gaming is a collection of perks for gamers that allow them to claim free in-game content for the games they know and love to play.

\nWhat kinds of benefits does Prime Gaming offer?<\/p>\n

There are two main benefits you get from Prime Gaming. Both are equally exciting and span across a wide range of game types and cater to just as wide of a range of players.
\nThe first and most prominent set of benefits is the in-game content. Amazon and Twitch (which is owned by Amazon) give away a constantly rotating set of in-game content. It\u2019s different for each game, and the games included are always changing too.
\nYou\u2019ll see it in the form of in-game currency, some of it being the normal currency you can earn by playing and some of it being premium currency that you normally have to pay for.
\nSometimes you get item boosts, XP boosts, and other aesthetic stuff. Such as in-game costumes or gear. Really, it varies. So it\u2019s best to continue checking to see what Prime Gaming is offering. A good suggestion would be to check once a week to see if there\u2019s anything new.
\nIn addition to in-game content, Prime Gaming will also give away free games. This is usually monthly. But it can\u2019t hurt to check more often than once a month to see if any games have been swapped out.
\nAlso, its worth noting that you can only claim the free stuff for so long. So make sure you pay attention to the times. You can currently claim new in-game content for Destiny 2. Prime Gaming is now offering a second month of in-game content for Genshin Impact. Other newly added in-game loot drops include packs for League Of Legends, Legends of Runeterra, Apex Legends, and Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla among others.
\nAs for games, Prime Gaming subscribers now get access to Battlefield V through Origin. At the end of last\u00a0month, Prime Gaming gave away Battlefield 1, although that offer expired on August 4.
\nHow much does Prime Gaming cost?
\nThe service by itself costs absolutely nothing. And the reason for that is because a Prime Gaming membership is just an Amazon Prime membership.
\nLike service that amazon offers with \u201cPrime\u201d in the name, it\u2019s part of the Amazon Prime membership subscription. Which means if you subscribe to Prime Gaming or to Amazon Prime, you\u2019re basically subscribing to the other one too as they\u2019re just different sections of the same subscription.
\nAll that being said, subscribing to Prime for these benefits is going to cost $12.99 a month, or $119 annually.
\nIs the in-game content cross-platform?
\nThis will depend entirely on the game itself. But in some cases, yes. It is possible. For example, Destiny 2, DOOM Eternal, and Borderlands 3 are all games which were at one point included as titles that had rewards you could claim.
\nDestiny 2 still is in fact, with more rewards coming every month for the next year. All three of these games allowed you to claim the content on any platform where you owned the game. So if you own DOOM Eternal on Stadia as well as on console or PC, then you could have claimed the rewards and used them on either platform.
\nThat being said, not all games allow this. Some of the games included are mobile titles. While others are only available on PC or console. With these titles the content you claim can only be used on the platform where the game exists.

\nHow do I know when offers will end?<\/p>\n

If you go to the page where all of the offers are, each offer has a date listed with it. So all you have to do is look at the card for the offers you\u2019re interested in, and it\u2019ll be displayed at the bottom of that card.
\nUsing Destiny 2 as another example, the current offer that is available can be claimed until February 24, 2021. At which point it will be gone and a new offer will pop up soon after for the new month.
\nMake sure you take note of these dates so you don\u2019t miss out.
\nWhere can I claim the rewards once I\u2019m in-game?
\nAs soon as you claim the rewards on the Prime Gaming page, you\u2019ll be met with a larger popup card on the same page that will tell you where to claim the items once you\u2019re in-game.
\nThere\u2019s not much else to it besides that. Simply read where the items will be dropped off and once you launch the game, go pick them up and you\u2019re good to go.
\nDo the rewards ever expire?
\nGenerally no. In most cases the in-game offers that pop up will be yours to keep forever, or until you use the items if they\u2019re consumables like XP boosts.
\nBut in some cases the offers will be for items that only last for a certain period of time. Black Desert Mobile for example offered some rewards in the past that were only good for a certain period of time. Which meant you had to use them before they expired. Or you would have just wasted some free stuff.
\nIt\u2019s also important to keep an eye on this particular detail.
\nHow do I play the games that I claim?<\/p>\n

It used to be that games you claimed through Prime Gaming would be installed directly to your Windows PC. If they were Windows games to begin with.
\nNow though, it seems as if you will need to download and install the Amazon Games launcher. And any games you claim will be accessible through that launcher. Similar to Steam, Epic Games, Ubisoft Connect etc.
\nAre there any other benefits of Prime Gaming?
\nYes. By being a member, you will also get one free subscription to a Twitch streamer of your choice.
\nFor streamers on the Twitch platform, one way they can make money is by having viewers subscribe to their channel. Which results in the subscriber getting some rewards for Twitch, like special emotes and more.
\nNormally these subscriptions cost $5. But as a Prime Gaming member you will get one of these $5 subs for free to spend how you like. You will get one per month to use on the channel of your choice. Whether it\u2019s the same channel or not. If it\u2019s the same channel you will have to re-subscribe since it\u2019s not tied to a payment method with auto-deduction set up. So keep that in mind as well.
