Amazon revealed how Prime Gaming performed in 2022, including stats on the free games and user comments. According to Amazon, the number of subscribers claiming free games has increased by 25% and the value of the games offered has also increased.
In total, Amazon’s Free Games with Prime program offered more than $2,300 worth of titles in 2022, based on each game’s MSRP at the time it was offered. According to Dustin Blackwell, Prime Gaming’s head of PR, this is a 34% increase over the value of 2021’s free games. It doesn’t say whether this number only includes the games or the value of the in-game content that also includes is offered to Prime Gaming subscribers.
Amazon also revealed which games subscribers claimed the most in 2022. In alphabetical order, those are Assassin’s Creed Origins, Fallout 76, Fallout: New Vegas, Far Cry 4, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, StarCraft Remastered , Total War: Warhammer, WRC 8 FIA World Rally Championship and World War Z: Aftermath. While Amazon offers a range of games to Prime Gaming subscribers, this list shows that they seem to favor triple-A games over smaller indie titles.
Last year, Amazon revealed how much Prime Gaming has grown since it relaunched in 2020 (it used to be called Twitch Prime). According to that report, the number of Amazon Prime subscribers participating in Prime Gaming rewards increased by 120% in a two-year period. Users claimed more than 80 million free games in 2021. Amazon also launched a new Prime Gaming feature that made it easy for users to see their claimed games, content, and codes, allowing them to use more of their content.
