Amazon has dropped a tantalizing hint about the possible launch of Prime Gaming in India. Prime Gaming, a subscription service bundled with Prime membership, offers a host of benefits to members, including free PC games every month, in-game content, and various perks on Twitch. While the service is currently unavailable in India, the recent tease on the Amazon India website suggests that this may change in the near future. However, the teaser was quickly taken down by the company, leaving users wondering whether it was a genuine announcement or a mistake.
Reports indicate that Amazon briefly posted details about Prime Gaming in India, accompanied by a banner image announcing its availability and promising free PC games monthly for Prime members. Users managed to catch a glimpse of the update before Amazon removed the page. The announcement stated, “With Prime Gaming (included with your Prime membership), unlock instant access to tons of exclusive content for your games and a rotating collection of PC games… each and every month.” However, the disappearance of the page has left us uncertain about Amazon’s intentions in India.
Currently, the Prime Gaming website states that the service is not supported in India and is limited to “mobile offers only.” On the Amazon India website, Prime Gaming is listed as a mobile-only service that offers free in-game content for international and Indian mobile games.
Prime Gaming is essentially a rebranding of Amazon’s Twitch Prime service, which also includes a free monthly subscription to a Twitch streamer and free PC games. Last year, Twitch subscription prices were reduced in India and other countries to comply with regional pricing systems.
Currently, a one-month subscription to Prime Gaming costs Rs. 110 on the web browser and Rs. 120 through the phone app, granting users a customized badge and a collection of emotes. Unfortunately, the now-deleted Prime Gaming page did not mention this feature, although it is typically included alongside the monthly free games. To claim items or codes, users must link their Twitch accounts to the respective platforms, such as Battle.net.
At present, Amazon offers a range of benefits to its Prime members in India, including free delivery, Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Gaming (mobile-only), early access to sitewide deals, Kindle offers, and a rewards points system.
