Amazon is giving away eight games this September, including a Lord of the Rings title, in anticipation of their upcoming Prime Video series, The Rings of Power.

Prime Gaming is a service included with every Amazon Prime subscription, much like Prime Video, and will give gamers an opportunity to play a range of new and classic titles, as well as offering discounts and in-game exclusives for big titles such as FIFA 22 and Apex Legends.

Prime Gaming has also partnered with Ubisoft to offer players a range of other titles and exclusive content, with Assassin’s Creed Origins also being available to download for subscribers.

If action-adventure games aren’t your bag, gamers can also claim a copy of the latest Football Manager title.

How much is Amazon Prime in the UK?

Amazon Prime membership costs £8.99 a month or £95 for a full year – which, if you ask us, isn’t bad at all, considering that gives you access to free next-day delivery, Prime Video, Prime Reading, Prime Gaming, Amazon music and even Deliveroo plus.
