If you’re a Steam Deck or Linux gamer, Amazon Prime Gaming continues to offer a treasure trove of downloadable titles—completely free with your Prime membership. The April 17 content drop brings a fresh wave of games to your collection, many of which run smoothly on Linux platforms thanks to compatibility through Proton and tools like Heroic Games Launcher.

This update introduces standout titles like Gloomhaven (Epic), The Last Spell (GOG), and Fashion Police Squad (Epic). These games span a variety of genres—from tactical RPGs and strategy titles to quirky shooters—catering to a wide range of playstyles. Best of all, they are DRM-free or easily installed via Heroic, making them ideal additions for Linux users.

For those new to the process, most games provided by Prime Gaming come with codes redeemable on platforms like Epic Games, GOG, and the Amazon Games App. Using Heroic Games Launcher, a popular open-source tool, you can install and run these titles on Steam Deck or Linux with minimal hassle. Just make sure to double-check anti-cheat compatibility if you’re diving into multiplayer games.

Notably, Genesis Noir and Berserk Boy are now available, bringing visual flair and fast-paced action to the lineup. Both are not rated yet for Steam Deck, but community feedback on ProtonDB shows promising performance with minor tweaks. Meanwhile, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (GOG) and The Last Show of Mr. Chardish (Epic) offer immersive narratives and stylized gameplay that shine on Linux systems.

For those looking to expand their gaming collection while enjoying native and near-native performance on Linux devices, now is a perfect time to take advantage of these offers. To get started, you’ll need an active Cheap Prime Gaming Account—which unlocks all this content, along with Twitch perks and Amazon Luna access.

And don't forget: games rotate out monthly. Titles like Wild Country (GOG), a cozy card-based strategy game, and The Last Spell, a roguelite tactical defense game, are time-limited, so grab them while you can.
