Originally revealed in 2020 and made available to a select group of people, Amazon Luna officially launched on March 1, 2022, in the United States, before expanding to the UK, Canada, and Germany. A cloud-based service, Amazon Luna offers subscribers an opportunity to stream a curated selection of games, with its library being divided into a few channels that each come with a unique monthly price.
Besides the channels, Amazon Luna also grants Prime subscribers access to a handful of free games per month; at the moment, four titles are usually the standard, although some temporary surprises might be included. Since Amazon Luna requires a stable internet connection to work, with 10 Mbps being the recommended speed, Prime owners can test the service using these titles before looking into the platform’s channels. It also helps that Amazon Luna’s free games for Prime lineup are generally pretty good.
These Amazon Luna’s Free Games with Prime will be available between January 1–30, 2025.
Slow-paced FPS With Horror And Open-World Elements
Metro Exodus
- Released
-
February 15, 2019
The main attraction of Amazon Luna’s free games with Prime lineup for January 2025, Metro Exodus is fantastic, although this selection’s excitement is somewhat muted by the fact it has been included in previous months. Still, 4A Games’ title has great deliberate gunplay that complements a horror tone and intense post-apocalyptic setting.

There are a lot of hidden secrets, easter eggs, and places to visit in the world of Metro Exodus that every player should make sure to see.
While including a couple of open areas that encourage exploration, the campaign is relatively linear, so it is not a complete departure from Metro 2033 and Last Light.

Team Meat
Every Amazon Luna free games with Prime lineup seems to include one title that tests a user’s streaming capabilities, providing newcomers an opportunity to see if the service works well for them or not. Super Meat Boy is that game for January 2025. Well-known to be one of the most challenging precision platformers of all time, Super Meat Boy is not for the faint of heart, demanding that players get their timing perfectly right if they want to conquer a level. Even the first few stages are quite difficult, and things ramp up significantly as they move along.

Games That Have Been Free With Prime For A While
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas
- Released

- How Long To Beat

28 Hours
Fallout: New Vegas is generally regarded as the high point of the 3D era, at least when it comes to pure role-playing. Obsidian crafted a player-driven campaign that provides plenty of freedom in crafting the Courier’s identity and directing his journey through the eponymous city.

Now, New Vegas is quite old by this point, and it was always rather rough around the edges. On PC, the game has a lively modding community that has not only kept it alive but also improved the vanilla content; unfortunately, mods are not an option on Amazon Luna. Still, if someone wants to try out the base version, this freebie should be great.
Fallout 3: Game Of The Year Edition
Fallout 3
- Released
-
October 28, 2008
- Developer(s)
-
Bethesda Game Studios
- How Long To Beat
-
23 Hours
Considering its accessibility and longevity, Fallout 3 has likely been experienced by anyone who has ever been remotely interested in it. Nevertheless, the 2008 RPG will always be a big deal in its own right, and it is still fun to play all these years later. At the time, Bethesda’s shift to a 3D sandbox open-world marked a significant departure from previous Fallout entries, and this decision helped propel the series to new commercial heights.
Nowadays, the standard version of Fallout 3 is antiquated in quite a few areas. The gameplay was never particularly good and has not gotten better with age. While not quite as action-driven as Fallout 4, the 2008 release does not emphasize player choices as much as New Vegas or the series’ isometric releases; however, Fallout 3 still offers solid customization and an awesome playground.
Trackmania Starter Access
Trackmania
- Released

July 1, 2020
- How Long To Beat
-
7 Hours
Ubisoft’s most recent Trackmania project has been around for a couple of years, although it only launched on most platforms in 2023. Unlike most racing games, Trackmania prioritizes time trials and short tracks, with most laps lasting only a small handful of minutes. Although incorporating an online aspect, players will also be competing against themselves as they try to shave a second or two from their best times.

Trackmania is a free-to-play game that only provides a sample of content in its base version. The Starter Access iteration is a bit more robust and should keep people engaged for a while.
Fortnite is also part of Amazon Luna’s free games with Prime, along with its spin-off modes like Lego Fortnite Brick Life, Rocket Racing, Fortnite Ballistic, and Fortnite Festival.
