The best free games for Amazon Prime members

Amazon Prime Day 2023 won’t be around for much longer, but there is still plenty of time to Prime members to pick up free games and in-game content. Lots of perks are already available, like a handful of free (and very good) games, in-game cosmetics for Diablo 4, and bonus items for Pokémon Go. However, the freebies won’t be available forever; we’ve included the end date next to each title to let you know when they expire.
