These are the PC games you can play for free with Twitch Prime this month
Have a look at April's big freebies
PRIMED AND READY
If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, then you automatically have access to Twitch Prime. It’s a service that eliminates ads from videos, lets you grant free monthly subscriptions to support streamers, and now includes several free games each month. Even if you’ll never use the streaming service, all Amazon Prime subscribers should snag the free Twitch Prime subscription and download these free PC games from the Twitch desktop app; they’re yours to keep forever. The selection will change monthly, so we’ll keep this space updated as new games arrive. Check out April’s picks below.
TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS
The idea of a story-based Borderlands game without any actual shooting seems awfully dull, but truth be told, Tales from the Borderlands is hilarious – and it’s one of Telltale Games’ best series to date. You’ll get the whole first (and currently only) season from Twitch Prime in April.
STEAMWORLD DIG 2
Hugely acclaimed upon its release a few months back, SteamWorld Dig 2 is a Metroid-inspired adventure game in which you’ll dig below the surface, unearth treasure, and battle back enemies. It’s super charming, but also pretty challenging as well.
KINGSWAY
Kingsway looks like an old-school Windows desktop, which might seem rather odd – but you’ll soon come to realize that this faux operating system is actually how you manage your fantasy hero’s role-playing adventure. It’s an Adult Swim game, unsurprisingly, and an oddball indie gem.
TOKYO 42
Tokyo 42 is a gorgeous isometric action game that takes place futuristic version of the city. After being framed for a murder you didn’t commit, you’ll run and gun around the vivid terrain as you blast foes and try to clear your name. Also, it has “tactical cats.” Sold!
DUBWARS
Love the wub wub of thumping dubstep music? If so, then you might get a kick out of DubWars. It’s a top-down, arcade-style shooter that’s not only backed by bass-heavy electronic music, but also synchronised with it – so your weapons help create the beats along the way.
