So Twitch has been partnered with Amazon for a while for a Twitch Prime service. You can subscribe to it separately, or if you're an Amazon Prime member, it's a free benefit. One of the benefits of this service in the past few months has been the ability to claim, download and play games off the Twitch client.

Well, if you haven't signed up before (particularly if you have Amazon Prime), this month is a great time to do so as they're doing a "game a day" promotion. Many are indies but there are a couple of heavy hitters in there, such as available through the 4th, Pillars of Eternity: Definitive Edition (aka with all the DLC)

The rest of this month's schedule:
3-9 July — Q.U.B.E. 2
3 July – 2 August — SNK Bundle featuring Metal Slug 3, The Last Blade, and Twinkle Star Sprites
4-10 July — Battle Chef Brigade
5-11 July — Manual Samuel
6-12 July — GoNNER
7-13 July — Next Up Hero
8-14 July — Uurnong Uurnlimited
9-15 July — Hue
10-16 July — Deponia Doomsday
11-17 July — Observer
12-18 July — Tacoma
13-26 July — The Bridge
14-27 July — Brutal Legend
15-21 July — The Red Strings Club
16-17 July — Tyranny
17-31 July — Broken Age
18-31 July — FRAMED Collection
18-31 July — Serial Cleaner

Just to show you what else I've gotten, none of these games are available anymore to claim but I got them all without spending a cent on the service beyond the Amazon Prime subscription:

Clustertruck
Devil May Cry HD Collection (1st game only)
DubWars
Frozen Cortex
Frozen Synapse
Gone Home
Headlander
High Hell
I, Hope
Kingsway
Mr. Shifty
Oxenfree
Psychonauts
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
Sid Meier's Civilization IV Complete
SteamWorld Dig 2
SteamWorld Heist
STRAFE
Superhot
System Shock 2
Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation
Tales from the Borderlands
The Banner Saga
The Banner Saga 2
The Flame in the Flood
Titan Souls
Tokyo 42: Complete Edition
Treadnauts
Tumblestone

Two things I have heard, btw:

1. You CAN get a 1 month trial of Amazon Prime and get Twitch Prime from that. They'll charge $1 to your credit card but return it. Just make sure to cancel before the trial ends.

2. Once you download the games, they're DRM free. You may still be able to download games you've claimed from the Twitch client afterwards.

So this might be a good month to do a trial. ;)

Wow, that's actually a pretty nice list of free games if you're already a Prime subscriber. I should explore some of the other Prime benefits, I basically just use the shipping haha (though we buy practically everything aside from perishables from Amazon at this point). I wish they would partner with GOG or something (since they're DRM free) because I can't keep track of all these clients I loaded up Far Cry 4 the other day for the first time and forgot I had to have UPlay...on top of Steam.

By the by, unless we have any issues with games of the same name like we did with PS Plus recently, all of the games are in the database already except for the FRAMED Collection, which is almost certainly this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/322450/FRAMED_Collection/

Framed Collection has been added!

So apparently, outside of last month's bonanza, the 5 free games a month with Twitch Prime thing is going to be standard for now. Here's the August selection:

Antihero
Death Squared
Jotun: Valhalla Edition
SteamWorld Dig
Wizardry Bundle (featuring Wizardry 6, 7, and 8)

Antihero will be the only new one for me. Jotun was given away free with no memberships required on both Steam and GOG a few months back. Death Squared was in Xbox Live Games With Gold for this month. SteamWorld Dig was in a ton of bundles and I picked up the Wizardry Bundle somewhere. But after last month, it's not like I'm asking a lot from a service that's essentially free anyway with how useful Amazon Prime is.

Moho: All these games are in the database already.

This month:

• Adventure Pals
• Pumped BMX+
• Strife: Veteran Edition
• Guild of Dungeoneering
• Gunpoint

Moho: All games in database already.

Only 4 games this month, but pretty nice ones:

• Darksiders: Warmastered Edition
• Sanitarium
• SOMA
• System Shock: Enhanced Edition

Moho: All games in database already.

Looks like 4 games a month is the new norm:

• AER: Memories of Old
• Overcooked
• Overload
• The Pillars of the Earth

Moho: All games in database already.

The Twitch Prime games this month might be better than Xbox Live or PS Plus!

• SNK Bundle: Baseball Stars 2, Fatal Fury Special, Metal Slug 2, Pulstar, Samurai Shodown 2
• Hacknet: Complete Edition
• Poi
• Smoke and Sacrifice

Note to Moho: Hacknet: Complete Edition is a compilation of the original game and the Labyrinths expansion for it. Everything else is in the database.

Twitch Prime added a pack of Devolver Digital games as a Christmas bonus:

• Broforce
• Hotline Miami
• Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number
• The Messenger (2018)
• STRAFE
• Crossing Souls
• The Swords of Ditto

January's are out slightly early:

• Hyper Light Drifter
• Orwell Seasons Complete Edition
• Republique
• Bomber Crew

Note to Moho: Orwell Seasons Complete Edition is a compilation of Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You and Orwell: Ignorance is Strength. Individual games are in the database, but compilation needs to be added. Also, Republique Remastered is in the database, but not the original.

@boffo97 - Those have been added!

Pikuniku free on Twitch Prime for the next 2 days.

Moho note: Needs to be added.

It has been added!

This month's games:

• Dear Esther: Landmark Edition
• Downwell
• The Flame in the Flood
• Draknek & Co Puzzle Collection

The Flame in the Flood is a repeat offer that you may already have if you've collected these Twitch Prime games from the beginning.

Draknek & Co Puzzle Collection is a compilation of A Good Snowman is Hard to Build, Cosmic Express and Sokobond.

Moho Note: Draknek & Co needs to be added as a compilation, but the individual games are already in the database.

Draknek & Co Puzzle Collection has been added!

This month:

• Star Vikings Forever
• The King's Bird
• Kabounce
• Snake Pass

Moho note: Star Vikings is in the database. Star Vikings Forever is not. I'm not sure what the relationship between the two is.

Hmm...as far as I can tell, Star Vikings was renamed to Star Vikings Forever. I ended up just updating our existing entry accordingly.

April's free Twitch Prime games:

• Her Story
• InnerSpace
• Joggernauts
• Keep in Mind: Remastered

But totally eclipsing the games is something pretty special for Nintendo Switch owners. You can claim 3 free months of membership in Nintendo Switch Online, which includes access to play classic NES games and the Tetris battle royale game Tetris 99. 60 days after you claim 3 months, you can claim 9 more months for a free year of the service in total. If you have an individual membership already, it will stack with what you've already paid for. However, it will not stack with family membership.

Moho: Joggernauts needs to be added.

Just now realized I forgot to post in here the other day when I added Joggernauts, sorry!

This month's Twitch Prime games:

• The Little Acre
• Whispering Willows
• Stealth Bastard Deluxe
• The Majesty Master Collection

Moho note: The first 3 are in the database. The 4th is not, but has the exact same box art as Majesty 2 Collection. Not sure if it's the same thing or not.

June's games got listed in the Free Games Alerts thread, but here are July's games:

• Cultist Simulator
• The Escapists
• For The King
• Yooka-Laylee

In addition to this, you can get bonus cash for GTA Online and RDR Online.

Moho: All games already in database.

August games:

• Pumped BMX Pro
• Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap
• Mable and the Wood
• Automachef

Pretty decent selection for free.

Note to Moho: All games in database already.
