Throughout the first half of October 2025, Amazon Prime Gaming has given away four free games in two phases, and the third game giveaway round is now live. This lineup is worth $40.97, and among the three, one is a critically acclaimed action RPG from 2010.
To be specific, this free game under the spotlight giveaway round includes Fallout New Vegas Ultimate, which contains the base title and four DLCs. It's essentially the definitive edition of the post-apocalyptic title that's worth $19.99. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, it puts players in the shoes of a courier whose story unfolds right after being ambushed while making a delivery.
On Steam, Fallout New Vegas features over 150 thousand player reviews, and among them, 96% are positive, making it hold the "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating. Moving to the second free game for this week, it's Empty Shell, a top-down horror shooter from 2023.
The plot is mostly about a dark, abandoned research facility that's set on a Japanese island. It takes players back to 1976 and puts them in the role of volunteers tasked with an off-the-books recovery operation. This currently free game generally goes for $11.99, but from October 16, 2025, it dropped to $0 on Amazon Prime Gaming. On Steam, it has a "Very Positive" rating with over 600 player reviews.
As for the last free game, it's True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 1, an engaging hidden-object title with horror elements. It lets players explore creepy locations as they search for clues and solve puzzles. Unlike typical horror survival titles, it puts a heavy emphasis on the atmosphere, featuring hand-drawn scenes.
True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 1 generally costs $8.99, and it currently features a 92% positive rating with around 1,000 reviews. You can learn more about the freebies from the videos attached below, and one thing worth noting is that a Prime account is needed to get these free games.
