Your Amazon Prime account is going to become a real asset this year as you’ll soon be able to use it to download more than 30 free games leading up to the company's Prime Day event.
The list of free games includes some big hitters like Mass Effect Legendary Edition and GRID Legends — the latter of which was just launched earlier this year — as well as some fan-favorite Star Wars PC games and some smaller indie titles.
According to an Amazon blog post, you’ll be able to start downloading the games on June 21 — a full three weeks ahead of Amazon Prime Day — up until the end of Prime Day on July 13.
That being said, it might be worth starting the downloads sooner rather than later so you don’t forget about them, but it’s nice knowing that there’s no rush to get them all downloaded in one day. If you are new to Amazon Prime Gaming or are still thinking about signing up, we have everything you need to know covered in our explainer.
