Amazon Is Giving Away 11 Free Games This September to Kick Off the New Gaming Season

September kicks off with a bang for Amazon Prime subscribers! Between legendary strategy titles, cursed dungeons, and interstellar adventures, Prime Gaming brings a brand-new wave of free games—varied, exciting, and impossible to resist. It’s a back-to-school season that feels like a gaming marathon, with a new surprise dropping every Thursday.

Amazon keeps strengthening its gaming offer through Prime Gaming. After a jam-packed August, September is keeping the momentum with 11 free games to claim and a wave of cloud titles available through Amazon Luna. And as always, once downloaded, the games are yours to keep forever—even if you cancel your subscription.
