Amazon Prime Gaming has kicked off October 2025 with a blockbuster lineup of free games, offering a diverse mix of fan favorites and Halloween-appropriate scares. With Fallout classics, strategy hits, and horror titles up for grabs, Prime members will have plenty to keep them busy—all in anticipation of Fallout’s second TV season arriving soon.
Key Takeaways
- Prime Gaming’s October lineup features 14 free games, including Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 3, and XCOM 2.
- Games can be claimed and kept forever, even if you cancel your Prime membership.
- The selection offers something for everyone, from RPGs to horror and classic adventures.
Fallout Fever and TV Synergy
The October offering is headlined by two post-apocalyptic RPG legends: Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition and Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition. Both games come packed with their respective DLCs and are available as GOG codes, ensuring players get the complete experience. The timing is no coincidence—Prime Video’s “Fallout” series returns for Season 2 in December, and the new episodes are expected to explore the world of New Vegas. Amazon is making it easy for fans to immerse themselves in the universe that inspired the hit show.
