I’ve noticed that Prime is giving away a lot of games through their launcher, so I’m wondering if it’s worth downloading it.
How do you do it? I have Prime, and it says Madden 22 is offered. but on Prime gaming page, it doesn't give me an option to download.
Quick guide to install Amazon games on the steam deck
Go to desktop mode 2)From your browser download the Amazon games launcher from the official webpage https://www.amazongames.com/en-us/support/prime-gaming/articles/download-and-install-the-amazon-games-app
Go to the Discover app and search for ProtonUp-Qt and install it.
In ProtonUp-Qt select add version, in compatibility tool select GE-Proton and select the latest (currently I'm using GE-Proton7-53) and press install.
when GE Proton has finished installing, open steam, on the bottom left press add game, and add non-steam game, select browse, and select the Amazon launcher you previously downloaded and finally press add selected programs 6)go to you steam library and select Amazon games setup, right click on it and press properties, in the compatibility tab select the version of GE-Proton you previously downloaded. If it is not showing, exit steam and open it again.
open the Amazon installer line a normal game and let it install
To check where the launcher got installed, when it finishes installing, open dolphin (the file manager), on the sandwich menu at the top right enable show hidden files, then go to home/deck/.local/share/Steam/compatdata And search for the file with the latest date, that should be the folder with Amazon games on it Open the Forder you suspect it has the lancher and go to pxf/driver_c/users/steam user/AppData/Local/Amazon Games/App/Amazon Games.exe
Go again to steam and add another non steam game, this time locate and select the Amazon Games.exe we found in the last step. Same as before when you add it to your library , go to properties and select the version of GE proton you installed.
delete from steam Amazon games setup, this won't delete the folder with Amazon games
launch and enjoy
I don't know about the rest, but when I tried to do the same but with normal proton Amazon games would crash after 30 seconds
I've had prime for years but never knew this was a thing. Can you explain it to me? I just claimed Everdream valley. I guess I have to play it through the Amazon gaming app instead of my steam account. Do I own the game as long as I have prime or is it a limited time use?
I tried the Luna gaming app a while back and was not impressed with the selection. Well I only tried the free version!!
Thanks so much. Unreal that they give away great games.
