Anyone with an Epic Games Store account can download at least one free game each week from the online retailer. It's a heck of a perk, and one you should take advantage of on a weekly basis if you like free games. And who doesn't?

Free Games from Amazon Prime Gaming

Amazon

Amazon Prime members get a batch of free PC games each month. Granted, you need to sign up for Prime, which costs money, but if you're already a member for the free shipping or Prime Video, you might as well take advantage of the free games each month.

In addition to free PC games each month, Prime members also get in-game items in all kinds of titles, ranging from Destiny 2 and League of Legends to Red Dead Online and Star Wars Squadrons.

Unless you're really into indie titles, t's probably not worth signing up for Prime just to get the free games. Prime's free PC games don't tend to be as big or well-known as the ones Epic Games Store doles out for free. But if you're already a Prime member for the many other benefits, there's no reason not to take a look at what's on offer each month.
