October has finally arrived, and Amazon Prime Gaming is bringing exciting giveaway games to celebrate. With a strong focus on horror and suspense, this month’s collection will get your heart racing—whether you’re battling demons in Doom Eternal or escaping a plague of rats in A Plague Tale: Innocence. The sheer number of free games available for Amazon Prime subscribers — on top of Amazon itself already offering a total wad of other value in video streaming, delivery, and books — makes it a must-subscribe for variety alone.
This is not just some freebie list. Constantly introducing the season of Halloween, Prime Gaming’s October selection features some of the scariest, highest-adrenaline titles. The best part? They’re ready to play now. So, you won’t miss any of these digital treats. Here’s the lowdown on all that is available and all that is coming.
Amazon Prime Gaming: Doom Eternal, BioShock Remastered, and A Plague Tale: Innocence
Following his heels this October is the critically adored Doom Eternal. The game is over four years old, but it’s still one of the best first-person shooters out there, and you can download it for free through the Microsoft Store. There is no better time to get your ass handed to you by its hellish hordes than now if you haven’t already taken them down.
Following that, BioShock Remastered brings back the 2007 classic with a fresh coat of paint, including high-res textures and full 4K support. Even if you’re a new player in Rapture or just want to relive your adventures in the eerie underwater city, this version brings you back to the most immersive Rapture encounters yet.
Plague Tale: Innocence, hitting on October 31, rounds out the heavy hitters for Halloween. In this award-winning adventure, you step into the shoes of a rag-tag pair of siblings fighting through a plague-stricken medieval France, ridding it of rats and avoiding soldiers. This one is a must if you like story-driven games with a twist to the dark.
More horror, more fun: Scorn and Killing Floor 2
Halloween also sees the release of Scorn, a first-person puzzle game based on work by H.R. Giger that’s as visually disturbing as it is challenging. Opinions on the gameplay are all over the board, but if you’re a fan of atmospheric horror, you want to give it a shot, and it’s free with your Prime Gaming.
In more fast-paced action, Killing Floor 2 hits on October 17. Now is as good a time as ever to practice your zombie slaying for the chaos ahead.
More freebies to watch for
It’s not only the horror genre that is being noticed. Prime Gaming’s games offer something for all tastes. Non-horror highlights include LEGO The Hobbit, Kerbal Space Program, and Thronebreaker: All Witcher Tales are still redeemable.
Besides, expect the likes of Pumpkin Jack, The Gunk, and Coromon for those who love platformers and puzzle games this month, too.
