May is nearly here, which means a new month of freebies from all of your various subscriptions. Amazon has revealed next month’s free PC games for Twitch Prime users, all of which will be available starting May 1. They include the great puzzle-platformer, Snake Pass; the stunt racing Trials-like Urban Trial Playground; and the rhythmic music game, Avicii Invector. The rest of the free Twitch Prime games are Pankapu, The Little Acre, and Fractured Minds.
All six of these games can be claimed on the Twitch Prime hub. You’ll also need to have the Twitch PC client to install and play them. The Twitch Prime hub is also home to all of the bonus loot you can claim throughout the month, so it’s worth keeping an eye on this page as we make our way through May. These free games are available to anyone with an Amazon Prime account; all you need to do is link your Twitch and Amazon accounts, and you’re good to go.
On Steam, all of these games have positive user ratings, except for Urban Trial Playground, which sits at a Mixed rating. Avicii Invector stands out with an Overwhelmingly Positive review rating. It was a project started by Hello There Games and late music producer Avicii back in 2015 and was finished after his passing in 2018. In Invector, you hit notes as you fly through various soundscapes set to the music of Avicii.
Of these games, only one has been reviewed by GameSpot. Our Snake Pass review called the puzzle-platformer “a wonderfully relaxing journey through some beautiful habitats,” praising its “gorgeous art and catchy soundtrack” as well as the innovative snake-like movement.
There’s also currently a lot of bonus loot for Twitch Prime members. Fallout 76 and Destiny 2 both have Twitch Prime cosmetic items you can claim right now, while League of Legends has a mystery skin and RuneScape has the Ancient Legionary skin. You can see the full offerings revealed for May so far below.
In addition to Twitch Prime’s offerings, there are plenty of free games you can claim right now. Quite a few developers and publishers are giving away their titles to support those staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. And if you’re looking for even more ways to pass the time, we have a great guide on the best TV, movies, and games to enjoy while social distancing.
