Amazon is offering 8 free games next month on the Prime Gaming platform. These titles include popular games like Payday 2 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. So here are all the details you need to know.
Prime Gaming: What’s coming in August?
It is worth noting that you will need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber to avail the free games. These include some popular titles from different genres:

- Payday 2 is a four-man co-op first-person shooter in which the players commit various heists and robberies while evading the cops. Gamers take on the role of the original PAYDAY crew, which brings absolute mayhem in the Washington DC area.
- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is an action-adventure LucasArts game and the second installment in the franchise. This title was highly anticipated as a sequel and is one of the most popular games in Star Wars gaming history. The third-person camera helps you see your character perform insane feats with the lightsaber and show off his prowess with the Force.
- Summertime Madness has you take control of an artist that has made a deal with the devil. Free your soul from your own canvases in this puzzle game that has some gorgeous visuals.
- Foretales brings the “saving the world” trope to the card game genre. It takes you on an adventure that lets you decide the fate of the world. There are many forms of playstyles and story paths to choose from, which promises you hours of single-player entertainment.
- Blade Assault takes you back to the classic form of 2D side-scrolling games. Fight against the corrupt military Esperanza as a part of the resistance force in this 2D action platformer.
- Driftland: The Magic Revival will have you fix the damages caused by warring ancient mages. You are a powerful mage and your job is to connect massive floating islands, which are all that remains of the shattered planet of Driftland.
- In Sound Mind is another first-person shooter but offers a unique experience from its imaginative psychological horror elements. Prepare to solve puzzles and fight bosses to escape the inner workings of your own mind.
- Farming Simulator 19 lets you have the complete experience of farming virtually. With a complete graphics overhaul in this iteration, you can expect to experience one of the most immersive farming sims. There’s a lot to do and many animals to take care of, so get ready for intense labor with up to 16 other players.
The upcoming games will replace the likes of Prey, Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition, and others, which were offered on the platform in July.

Notably, Payday 2 is being given out for free just ahead of the launch of its highly anticipated sequel, Payday 3. Apart from the free games, Amazon Prime subscribers will also get access to a bunch of content for free for Overwatch 2, Dead by Daylight, Call of Duty: Warzone 2, and many more. These free rewards might bring exclusive skins or even in-game items.
