What is Amazon Luna? Here's how to claim free games and loot

• Amazon Prime's gaming benefits, formerly known as Prime Gaming, are now part of Amazon Luna.
• Prime members get access to a rotating library of free games, in-game content, and a Twitch subscription at no extra cost.
• Amazon Luna is included with a Prime membership, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year.

We all know that Amazon Prime offers free and fast shipping, right? But that's just barely scratching the surface of the membership. Honestly, even as a professional shopper who spends a wild amount of time combing through Amazon's site, I'm still finding new Prime features and perks that I never knew existed.

If you’ve searched “Prime Gaming” lately, here’s the update: Amazon’s Prime Gaming benefits can now be found under Amazon Luna, Amazon’s cloud gaming hub where Prime members can access included games and claim rotating offers. In other words, if you’re already paying for Prime, you may be sitting on free games and gaming extras you haven’t used yet.

Ahead, we’ll break down what Amazon Luna is, what gaming perks Prime members can get, and the quickest way to sign in and start claiming.

What is Amazon Luna? (formerly Prime Gaming)

Amazon Luna is Amazon’s gaming service and it’s now the main hub where Prime members can access Amazon’s gaming benefits, including a rotating library of games that can be played through the service. Amazon Luna is included with Prime, meaning Prime members can access Luna without paying a separate fee for the perk.

How to activate Amazon Luna (formerly Prime Gaming)

If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you already have access to Amazon Luna, which now houses the gaming benefits that were previously branded as Prime Gaming. To activate it, head to Amazon Luna and sign in with your Amazon account—no separate subscription is required for Prime members.

Once signed in, you’ll see what’s included with Prime, such as access to Luna Standard, rotating free games you can claim, and cloud-streamed titles you can play instantly on supported devices.

Some perks may still require you to connect additional accounts, such as Twitch, to fully unlock benefits that carry over from Prime Gaming. Amazon has confirmed that these benefits continue under Luna, even though the Prime Gaming name has been retired.

How to claim free games and loot on Amazon Luna

Amazon Luna is now the place where Prime members can claim free games and in‑game loot, replacing the old Prime Gaming hub. After signing in to Luna, browse the section showing games and content included with Prime, then select an offer and click “Claim.”

Depending on the offer, Luna may:

• Let you stream the game instantly through the cloud
• Give you a downloadable PC game to keep
• Deliver in‑game loot after you link the required publisher or launcher account

Amazon notes that some rewards appear automatically once accounts are linked, while others include step‑by‑step instructions during the claim process.

Prime members also get access to GameNight, a collection of party games designed to be played together without downloads.

How to redeem Amazon Luna game codes

Not every Amazon Luna offer uses a code, but when one is required, the redemption steps are shown clearly during the claim process. After clicking “Claim,” Luna may provide a code to copy or direct you to redeem the content through a specific storefront or publisher site.

You may also be asked to link your Luna account to a third‑party game account so Amazon can verify eligibility and deliver the content correctly—a process that carried over from Prime Gaming and is still common under Luna.

If you need to revisit a past claim, Amazon Luna includes tools to review previously claimed games and rewards, making it easy to check delivery status or access redemption details. For downloadable PC titles, claimed games typically appear in your Luna or associated game library once redemption is complete.

Do I need to be a Prime member to use Amazon Luna?

Yes, Prime members get access to exclusive content and free games through Amazon Luna included in their membership. Without a Prime membership, you can’t claim the free games, in-game loot or Twitch channel subscription that Amazon Luna offers.

New members can try one week of Amazon Prime benefits for just $1.99. After that, Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year.
