Amazon Prime: 45+ Free Games for Your Steam Deck – Heroic Games Launcher Setup Guide Included!

If you have Amazon Prime, make sure to claim all the games they’re offering before the promotion ends. Once the offer expires, you won’t be able to claim the games anymore. However, once you’ve claimed them, they’re yours to keep forever!

Here’s what you’ll need:
Amazon offers games through the following launchers. If you don’t already have an account on these platforms, sign up—it’s free:

• Epic Games
• GOG
• Luna by Amazon

After creating and logging into accounts on these sites, head over to Prime Gaming. There, you’ll find all the free games included with Amazon Prime. Simply click the Claim button for each game, and the site will guide you through the claiming process for Epic Games, GOG, or Luna.

Click on all the games you want—I claimed every one since they’re free!

Ok, I have all the games. Now how do I play them?!

What you need now is to install Heroic Games Launcher. Open Discover, search for ‘Heroic,’ and click Install.

Once it’s installed, start Heroic Games Launcher and log into Amazon Prime Gaming, GOG, and Epic Games through Heroic. Once you’re logged in, you will see all the games you’ve claimed. Here is the collection of games that I claimed.

Before you can play a game, you need to download it. Click the down arrow on the game you want to play, and the following popup will appear. Click Install..

You’ll then see the download status:

Click the Play button to start the game. You might see the following warning—just click Yes to use Proton Experimental, and the game should boot.

In this case, I was booting up Planet of Lana. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly suggest you do. It’s a beautiful side-scroller with awesome gameplay, puzzles, and graphics.

If you have any questions, just add a comment below. ENJOY!

Here’s a great guide by user u/Nonagoner on Reddit:

Intro

Dredge is “free” on Prime Gaming (included with Amazon Prime) this week, https://gaming.amazon.com/home.

Thought I’d do a quick write-up explaining how to get this working through Heroic.

Installing Dredge

1. In Desktop Mode, open “Discover” (shopping bag icon in your taskbar or Applications Launcher – equivalent to the “Start Menu” on Windows).
2. Search for “Heroic Games Launcher” and install.
3. Open Heroic Games Launcher.
4. On the left-hand side of the screen, click “Log in” and log into your GOG account.
5. On the left-hand side of the screen, click “Settings”, click “Advanced”, check “Use UMU as Proton runtime” under “Experimental Features”.
6. On the left-hand side of the screen, click “Wine Manager”, at the top, click “Proton-GE”, either install “Proton-GE-Latest” or the latest numbered release of Proton-GE.
7. On the left-hand side of the screen, click “Library”, locate “Dredge” in your library, click “Install”, click “Show Wine settings”, select whichever Proton-GE version you installed, click “Install” in the bottom right.
8. When the game is finished installing, click the three vertical dots in the top right of the game page, click “Add to Steam”.
9. Dredge will now be added to your Steam library in the non-Steam games tab. Do note that it may take a moment for it to initially launch, but all future launches should be much quicker.

Controls

When adding Dredge to Steam, Steam may automatically set the game to use the “Web Browser” layout. I’m not sure why this happens, it might be “Dredge” is similar to “Microsoft Edge”, who knows!

It’s a simple fix though.

1. On the “Dredge” game page in Game Mode, click the “Controller” icon.
2. Under “Current Button Layout”, it may say “Web Browser”, click here, set it to “Gamepad with Joystick Trackpad”.
3. Controls will now work in Dredge.

Comet – GOG Achievements

One neat thing about Heroic is its inclusion of Comet, https://github.com/imLinguin/comet. A lot of technical terms on that GitHub page but what Comet allows you to do is to unlock achievements in your GOG games. It’s pretty easy to enable as well.

1. In Desktop Mode, open Heroic.
2. On the left-hand side of the screen, click “Settings”, under “Experimental Features”, make sure “Comet support” is checked. This should be checked by default.
3. Achievements will now be enabled in GOG games.

Cloud saves

As far as I understand, Junk Store does support cloud saves but they’re locked behind the Patreon. Heroic includes this feature for free!

1. On the “Dredge” game page in Heroic, click the “Settings” icon in the top right, click the “Cloud Saves Sync” tab and Heroic will sync your saves. You may also check “Autosync saves” to automatically sync your saves.

HDR

I don’t believe Dredge has HDR support (didn’t see it anywhere in the settings), but I have seen a few comments confused about how to get HDR working in Heroic.

This is covered on Heroic’s wiki (the “Installing Dredge” section above covered how to install the Heroic Flatpak): https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Steam-Deck#hdr
