Amazon Prime members can get over 40 Steam Deck-compatible games for free right now

42 Steam Deck-compatible games that you can get for free right now, but you'll need an active Amazon Prime subscription for most of them.

I've noticed when I was still paying for Prime that those supposed free games they give through Epic are just free games epic gives without the need of Prime. Rugrats is in the list in the article and it's available to get without Prime so that's pretty shady on Amazon's part, or maybe it's Epic being scummy.

TheNamelessOne68d ago

Tales from the Borderlands (the original, good one), Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Borderlands the pre-sequel, Borderlands 2, Loop Hero, Trek to Yomi, Greedfall, Shadow of Mordor, Hard West 2, Figment 2. Some great gets there.

Amazon never give steam codes away so the steam deck link here is silly unless you are modding and installing epic launcher.

Kyizen68d ago

Yeah I get a ton of free games on epic, It works but having to launch the Epic browser and games though it is pain vs just using the Steam deck OS. Once the game is running no issue though,

FinalFantasyFanatic67d ago

They give away quite a few GOG versions of games though, I suppose you can just slap those onto your Steam Deck (I've done this), although it's not always ideal.

__y2jb67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

You can but it’s a pain to launch them and doesn’t it require installing windows?

FinalFantasyFanatic66d ago

You don't need windows, personally, I just download it on PC, then transfer it to the Steamdeck via network sharing or USB stick. Then you add it to the Steamdeck as a "non-steam game" like you would if you were using a PC. The only downside is if you play the game on both PC and Steamdeck, you'll have to manually transfer save files.

Supposedly you can use Hero launcher or something, but I can't seem to get the games to work after download it via GOG on Steamdeck. So manually transfer it is for me.

Gearbox is developing a new Tales from the Borderlands game

From VGC: "Gearbox has announced that it’s working on a new Tales from the Borderlands game.

Released in 2014 and developed by Telltale Games, the original Tales from the Borderlands is a five-part episodic game set on Pandora between the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3.

Gearbox is developing the “all new Tales from the Borderlands adventure”, which will be published by 2K later this year."

Wish they’d come up with a fresh IP all together. While the animation is fine, the story and “cheeky” characters, and millions of weapons just don’t do anything for me. It’s time for something non-borderlands related in my opinion. With each sequel they seem to take the route more is better, and that’s just not always the case.

ocelot07946d ago

This is a tales from the borderlands game. Not a actually proper Borderlands game. It's not a FPS or anything like that it's a story driven game with player choices.

Like the Telltales Walking Dead. Or Telltales Guardians Of the Galaxy or Minecraft Story Mode and The Wolf Among Us.

FlavorLav01946d ago (Edited 946d ago )

I gotcha, but it’s still tales from the “Borderlands”. I get that it doesn’t play the same. I’m just tired of seeing the same animation over and over, it’s like Gearbox’s only art-style now. Just saying I wish they’d try some thing new artistically or aesthetically. They’re just trying to tentpole Borderlands to be its own metaverse with the spin-offs, when to me a new IP from them would be way more intriguing. Just 1 dude’s opinion. No harm meant by it.

--Onilink--946d ago (Edited 946d ago )

Well, sort of. This one is being developed by Gearbox directly, not Telltale, so we’ll have to see if they actually stick to the original’s design.
In honestly quite cautious/skeptical about this one. Nuanced and balanced writing is not what I would describe as a forte for Gearbox, especially coming from BL3

loxim946d ago

You are right with what you explained, but I get what he is saying, borderlands is getting very same-y with each new game and it would be nice to have something new.

Yui_Suzumiya946d ago (Edited 946d ago )

I wish they would go back and develop that Furious 4 game that they decided to cancel. They were also supposed to develop a final Brothers in Arms game but there's been no word on that in a decade.

sourOG946d ago

Did that game really do okay? Isn’t that what made telltale collapse? I played the first episode and it was kinda terrible. Had no desire to finish it.

jznrpg946d ago

It was a good game one of the better telltale games imo.

sourOG946d ago

Hard disagree from me. Wolf among us was brilliant. The first walking dead was good. The rest were sub par imo.

jznrpg946d ago

Wolf Among Us was my favorite . I’d put Walking Dead and Borderlands close to each other .

sourOG946d ago

Fair enough. I can concede that it wasn’t TT game of thrones awful. I’m glad telltale is focused on making a full WAU2. It was the right move.

jznrpg946d ago

Game of Thrones I never finished because it was boring .

Loved the first and look forward to this one.

Knightofelemia946d ago

First Tales from the Borderlands is my favorite game I loved so much I bought it on PS3, PS4, and XB1. The intro to episode 4 was so friggin good I never knew who Twin Shadow was until I heard that intro.

-Foxtrot946d ago

I just find it funny TT games become so oversaturated because there was so many of them coming out, yet it seems now that TT are back in the game they are slowly doing the same mistake which lead to their original downfall.

Maybe focus on one or two projects, get them finished and start another.

Also they just constantly rely on existing franchises rather than doing something brand new from scratch.

DreadfulHero946d ago

Telltale aren't making this though. And as far as I'm aware, Telltale are only making Wolf Among Us 2 and The Expanse. Am I forgetting one? Wolf Among Us isn't out til next year, too, and The Expanse is probably beyond that. Now if they were doing another Walking Dead, Batman, Game of Thrones, Minecraft, and Guardians all within a few years... then I'd be worried.

-Foxtrot946d ago

Still there's only so much you can do with the point and click genre

If they were pushing the genre then fine but each game they just don't even bother.

Knightofelemia946d ago (Edited 946d ago )

The article just mentions Telltales making the first game this second game is being done by Gearbox themselves and published by 2K. How is Telltales over saturated? I didn't even know they were still around until an article popped up on here stating they were working on the Wolf Among Us 2 and maybe one other game. Back when Telltales was a thing yes they were over saturated working on The Walking Dead, Batman and Batman 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, Game of Thrones, Minecraft and Tales from the Borderlands. And you could tell that some of their games were crap Game of Thrones was boring, Batman on PS3 episode 2 or 3 had a hiccup on PS3 and so did Game of Thrones. Guardians of the Galaxy was a good game. You say there is only so much you can do with a point and click game yes that is correct but the same could be said about Supermassive Games and the games. Man of Medan, Little Hope, House of Ashes, and Until Dawn you can only do some much with their style of games as well. As long as it has a good story, good characters who cares as long as you're enjoying the game.

It's a great game one of my favorite TellTales games the intro music by TwinStick for episode 4 was great I really wish this game had a sequel in the works I would buy it day one.

jznrpg1318d ago

I enjoyed it but it had some technical issues like all Telltale games . I would give it 4/5
