Amazon’s Prime Gaming deal is an incredible gift from the surprisingly generous gaming gods. Previously called Twitch Prime, the program has been re-branded as Prime Gaming and is officially part of the Amazon family. That means if you have an Amazon Prime membership, you get Prime Gaming for the stunningly good deal of $0.00. And if you still haven’t jumped on the Prime train, you can try out a free, 30-day trial to see if the service is right for you.

Try Prime Free

To get the most out of your free content you’ll want to link your Amazon and Twitch accounts, as well as install the Amazon Games app on your computer. Once that’s taken care of, you’re ready to reap all the rewards of Prime Gaming.

What’s Special About Prime Gaming?

Prime Gaming includes a slew of benefits for gaming enthusiasts that run the gamut from free games to exclusive Twitch emoticons. Here’s what Prime Gaming has to offer:

• Free Twitch Channel Subscription every month
• Member Access to free games, plus free in-game content
• Exclusive emoticons, chat badge and chat color options on Twitch
• Broadcast storage extended to 60 days from the standard 14

If you have a favorite Twitch Affiliate or Partner in mind, do note your “free Twitch Channel Subscription” is free for you, but the Affiliate or Partner gets paid as though it was a normal subscription. However, the subscription cycles monthly, so you’ll have the chance to swap to someone new with your free subscription or keep supporting your star streamer every time a month rolls over.
For those looking to play — rather than watch — games, Prime Gaming’s available game content is going to be, by far, the most exciting of these benefits. Every month, members receive offers for in-game goods, as well as full games — all for free.
For some offers, you’ll need to download the Amazon Games app. Once that’s taken care of you’ll be able to access all the great content Prime Gaming has to offer.

How to Link Prime Gaming to Twitch

It’s a whole lot easier than it sounds. Here’s a play-by-play of what most people will experience when linking their Prime Gaming and Twitch accounts.

• Head over to the Prime Gaming website.
• Select Connect Your Twitch Account.
• Sign into your Amazon account.
• Sign into your Twitch account and choose Confirm.
• Revel in your newfound perks. Claim your new loot, show off that Prime Gaming badge, and get going on that free channel subscription to your streamer of choice.

There might be a bit of variance in these steps based on your region, but so long as you know the info for both accounts it shouldn’t be too difficult to link them together.

Prime Gaming is Free, So…

It’s hard to argue with free. If you enjoy watching or playing video games, and you already have an Amazon Prime account, it’s worth spending the few moments to check out all the free content Prime Gaming has to offer. With just a few clicks you’ll be able to play your favorite free games, make a splash in the Twitch comment sections or support your favorite streamers with a free subscription.
It’s up to you what you do with it, but the simple fact remains: Prime Gaming is there, waiting for you, and it doesn’t cost you a penny to get started.
