New Delhi: Amazon has rolled out a subscription-based service, Prime Gaming, which offers access to a number of gaming titles, to its members in India. This launch comes weeks after the company started testing the service in the South Asian market. Amazon Prime and Video subscribers can access the gaming service, which offers a variety of mobile, PC and Mac games with in-game loot for free.
Each month, the e-commerce group adds a number of new titles to the service.
Currently, League of Legends, DeathLoop, Quake, COD Season 1, EA Madden 23, FIFA 23, Apex Legends, Destiny 2, and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons are among the free games and loot boxes available to Indian users, the report added.
Earlier this month, Amazon revealed a new anime-style massively multiplayer online (MMO) game titled Blue Protocol at The Game Awards, which is scheduled to be launched in the second half of next year.
The game is developed by Bandai Namco and will be released on the PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC, reports The Verge.
The game is described as a multiplayer action role-playing game (RPG), which allows players to choose different roles and enjoy either the story or multiplayer mode.
If you have an active Amazon Prime membership, all you need to do is visit the Prime Gaming website and sign in with your ID and click on Activate Prime Gaming option on the top right corner. Your Prime membership also offers access to Amazon Prime shopping as well as Prime Video usage. Plans are priced at Rs 179 for a month, Rs 459 for three months and Rs 1,499 for a year.
With Prime Gaming, Amazon looks to take on Sony's PlayStation Plus and Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription services, all of which offers a slate of games for free to subscribers, updated every month.
