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 currently has 50 free Steam Deck games you can download right now. Amazon also just revealed the slate of games for the rest of October, and there are some spooky gems included.
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 included. If you don’t already have Prime Gaming, you can get your first month for free by following this link.
Here are the free Steam Deck games you can claim with your Amazon Prime subscription as of October 28, 2024:

The one downside to 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 your Steam Deck in desktop mode, making it a breeze to open games in these launchers.
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.
As you can see, there are some fantastic games to claim here, and they’ll also be yours to keep forever. Be wary of the expiration dates, though, because once they’re gone, you will have missed your opportunity.
When it comes to games that will hit Prime Gaming in the future, we have the rest of October’s additions already lined up. Here are the Steam Deck games coming to Prime Gaming for the rest of the month:
October 31
- A Plague Tale: Innocence
- Death’s Door
- Haunted Hotel: Personal Nightmare Collector’s Edition
- Scorn
- Coromon
