Amazon Luna: Every Free Game With Prime (January 2024)

Originally revealed in 2020 and made available to a select group of people, Amazon Luna officially launched on March 1, 2022, in the United States, before expanding to the UK, Canada, and Germany. A cloud-based service, Amazon Luna offers subscribers an opportunity to stream a curated selection of games, with its library being divided into a few channels that each come with a unique monthly price.

Besides the channels, Amazon Luna also grants Prime subscribers access to a handful of free games per month; at the moment, four titles are usually the standard, although some temporary surprises might be included. Since Amazon Luna requires a stable internet connection to work, with 10 Mbps being the recommended speed, Prime owners can test the service using these titles before looking into the platform’s channels. It also helps that Amazon Luna’s free games for Prime lineup are generally pretty good.

These Amazon Luna’s Free Games with Prime will be available between January 1–30, 2024.

Control: Ultimate Edition

Metascore: 84

The standout freebie for Amazon Luna with Prime’s January 2024 lineup, Control: Ultimate Edition is the definition version of Remedy’s well-received third-person shooter. In an inspired choice, the game takes place in a bureau that investigates phenomena tied to the SCP Foundation, which generally means a lot of reality-warping events that are a blast to watch unfold. Discovering these entities and experiments is the project’s highlight, although the combat is pretty great too. Players get access to a transforming gun and a few different abilities, all of which combine to create a fast-paced and satisfying system.

Narratively, Control is pretty interesting as it follows Jesse Faden as she enters the bureau in search of her brother. Naturally, she instantly gets dragged into a situation that is far bigger than her private motive.

Young Souls

Metascore: 81

Young Souls scratch a hard-to-reach itch as it blends action RPG staples with beat ’em up combat, a rare mix that has generally produced success stories. Featuring a beautiful art style and engaging gameplay, Young Souls is accessible to newcomers who are not all that familiar with beat ’em up classics, all the while offering enough depth for more seasoned players.

Amazon Luna’s Prime picks tend to satisfy a few needs, although the primary one is to present interested parties with a no-risk way to test out the service’s streaming capabilities. However, the giveaways can also highlight indie releases that might not seem like obvious picks since they target niche audiences.

Trackmania Starter Access

Metascore: 74

Ubisoft’s most recent Trackmania project has been around for a couple of years, although it only launched on most platforms in 2023. Unlike most racing games, Trackmania prioritizes time trials and short tracks, with most laps lasting only a small handful of minutes. Although incorporating an online aspect, players will also be competing against themselves as they try to shave a second or two from their best times.

Trackmania is a free-to-play game that only provides a sample of content in its base version. The Starter Access iteration is a bit more robust and should keep people engaged for a while.

Kitaria Fables

Metascore: 69 (PS5)

An action RPG with some farming sim ingredients, Kitaria Fables is a charming little game that largely provides a standard experience for the genre. As a feline shop owner who has been chosen to fight off the ever-growing threat of monsters, players spend their time exploring areas in search of enemies to eradicate and use for resource gathering.

Naturally, they can sell their winnings to earn the required cash to craft and upgrade weapons. It is a simple formula that has produced results for decades, and while not an all-time great, Kitaria Fables is a fine recreation of the concept.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap

Metascore: 80 (Xbox One)

A remake of a Master System cult classic, Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap strikes a good middle-ground between modernizing and recreating. The gameplay is not too far removed from its old-school roots, and it essentially plays like a basic but enjoyable Metroidvania. Visually, the remake knocks things out of the park, bringing to life a colorful and fun world in the process. With a fairly short campaign and some replayvalue, Wonder Boy is a great pick for Amazon Luna’s Prime giveaways since it can easily be beaten within a few days.

Fortnite is also part of Amazon Luna’s free games with Prime.
