Prime Gaming isn’t messing around this October. If you’re a subscriber, the latest drop offers a mix of strategy classics, survival horror, and fan-favorite RPGs all free to claim and keep forever.
This Month’s Lineup Stands Out
October isn’t just about filler indies. Amazon’s bringing serious heavyweights like Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition and XCOM 2, alongside narrative gems and seasonal horror picks. The best part? Once you claim them, they’re yours even if you cancel Prime later. Some come via Good Old Games (GOG), others through the Amazon Games App, Epic, or legacy codes, so check the platform before you redeem.
Luna users also get bonus access to Borderlands 3, Dead Island 2, Rainbow Six Siege, Lego Star Wars III, MotoGP 25, and more, all streamable through Prime’s Luna channel.

Notable Mentions
Horror Season: With Tormented Souls, both True Fear games, and Halloween specials, October’s perfect for scare-seekers.
Fallout Fans: Scoring New Vegas and Fallout 3 GOTY in one month is a big win. That’s hundreds of hours of wasteland survival just like that.
Strategy Crowd: XCOM 2 is still one of the best tactical games around; a must-play if you skipped it before.
Narrative Gamers: Story lovers get Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse to sink into.
Final Take
This October, the lineup Prime Gaming is releasing isn’t just padding libraries; it’s curating experiences. There’s a little something for everyone. From tactical warfare to wasteland legends and Halloween chills, you name it. The mix of classics and seasonal horror makes this one of the most balanced drops Amazon’s done in months.
If you’re a subscriber, don’t wait. Claim them on release day, check which launcher you’ll need, and line up your spooky-season backlog. Whether you’re commanding squads in XCOM or wandering the Mojave in New Vegas, October’s freebies guarantee your game time is stacked.
