While there is no shortage of great games to play on the Steam Deck, you never turn up your nose at a free game, and Amazon now has over 40 free Steam Deck games you can download right now. If you’re one of the over 200 million Amazon Prime subscribers, then you already have access to these games and just need to claim them before they disappear.
If you own one of the best handheld gaming PCs, this is a great deal. You may well already pay for your Amazon Prime subscription to use the free delivery service, or watch movies and shows via Prime Video. However, there is a whole extra level to Amazon Prime, which includes free video games, and there just so happens to be some fantastic Steam Deck experiences available in the current crop of games.
The one downside to many of these games is that they can only be claimed via the Epic Game Store, Amazon Games Store, or GOG. I have good news though, because the Heroic Launcher allows you to link all three of these accounts to the app in desktop mode, making it a breeze to open games on these launchers on Steam Deck.
You can even create game shortcuts in Steam so that, once the games are downloaded, you don’t need to keep switching to desktop mode to play them.
Here are the free Steam Deck games you can claim with your Amazon Prime subscription:
