Deal | Second October 2025 free games batch worth around $80 goes live on Amazon Prime Gaming

The October 2025 free games lineup from Amazon Prime Gaming offers 14 freebies that will be available throughout the month. In the first round, the platform offered DragonStrike and Tormented Souls, which were worth $5.99 and $19.99, respectively.

Starting from October 09, 2025, Prime Gaming is offering two more free games, and this game giveaway round is worth $79.98 in total. The main highlight is XCOM 2, a critically acclaimed strategy game from 2016. Developed by Firaxis Games, it features a turn-based gameplay, and the main task is to manage a squad of soldiers and eliminate enemies.

The game adds a layer of challenge by requiring players to manage resources and research alien technologies. As for the story, it's mostly about reclaiming the planet Earth from the alien invasion.

This currently free game on Prime Gaming costs $59.99 when there's no sale, and it features a "Very Positive" rating on Steam that's based on over 42 thousand reviews. However, it's worth noting that the time-based missions can be frustrating at times, and the enemy designs have also received a fair share of criticism.

Moving to the second free game, it's Vampire: The Masquerade - Reckoning of New York, which launched in 2024. At the core, it's a narrative-driven visual novel that puts players into the shoes of a vampire. The main goal is to navigate through the complex politics among vampire factions.

It puts a heavy emphasis on story choices, and the powers of the character play a big role in the development of the plot. This free game is worth $19.99, and it currently features a "Mixed" rating on Steam. The main criticism from players is the somewhat less engaging story, which is regarded as having clichéd dialogue and an overly edgy tone.

One thing that's worth noting is that among the two freebies, Prime Gaming is offering a GOG code for XCOM 2, while an Epic Games Store code is being offered for the second free game. It's also worth mentioning that an Amazon Prime account is required to claim these. Check out the videos attached below to learn more about the titles in this giveaway.
