Amazon Prime’s Free Games For October Are Shockingly Good

I have a boring ritual. Every few weeks, I make sure to check out the Prime Gaming Rewards page to see what free games are available. Most of the time it’s nothing too exciting, maybe a few good, smaller games along with some totally forgettable things I’ll never play. But October is different. This time Amazon is offering some big, relatively recent games along with the usual assortment of smaller titles.

October is going to be HUGE for #PrimeGaming! Unlock even more drops for @PlayApex and all the favorite games ??

This month’s free games include the fantastic space combat sim Star Wars: Squadrons, the hard but equally great shooter Ghostrunner, and the older, yet still scary-good Alien: Isolation. Here’s the full list:

• Song of Horror Complete Edition
• Red Wings: Aces of the Sky
• Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures
• Blue Fire
• Tiny Robots Recharged
• Whiskey & Zombies: The Great Southern Zombie Escape
• Secret Files 3
• Star Wars: Squadrons
• Alien: Isolation
• Ghostrunner

The free games and other video game goodies offered up by Bezos’ mega-company aren’t the reason I have an Amazon Prime subscription, so I don’t really expect much whenever I check. But now, perhaps for the first time ever, I’m legitimately excited to grab these games come October. (Which starts…tomorrow. Wow, this year is going very quickly.)
