Amazon Prime is about more than next-day delivery: Get 30 games and Mass Effect for FREE

This year's Amazon Prime Day kicks off on July 12. The confusingly named event - which actually takes place over two days - gives Prime members the opportunity to make big savings on

thousands of products from every department. What you might not realise, however, is that Amazon also plans to give away more than 25 games as part of the event, including blockbuster hits

like Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Grid Legends and Need for Speed Heat. Once you've claimed the free games as part of your Prime membership, they're yours to keep forever. Technically,

this means you can bag more than 25 games without spending any cash. Just sign up for Amazon Prime for free and enjoy all the perks without any of the commitments.

Get Amazon Prime for 30-days free. This free trial unlocks all perks of Prime membership, including early access to deals, next-day delivery at no cost, access to TV shows and movies on

Prime Video, and more. Cancel anytime during the 30-day trial and you won't pay a penny.

"Amazon Prime members are in for a real treat! Prime Gaming is thrilled to offer members even more free games as part of this year’s Prime Day offers, happening on July 12–13," reads an

Amazon post.

"During Prime Day, Prime members can claim more than 30 free games, including Mass Effect Legendary Edition - which includes the award-winning Mass Effect trilogy - GRID Legends, Need for

Speed Heat, Star Wars Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy and more."

The highlight of the Prime Day gaming giveaway, Mass Effect Legendary Edition bundles the remastered Mass Effect trilogy with all of the post-release DLC.

"Relive the epic saga and prepare for an unforgettable adventure in the highly acclaimed trilogy," reads the official description.

"The Mass Effect Legendary Edition includes single-player base content and over 40 DLC from Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 games, including promo weapons, armours, and packs,

remastered and optimised for 4K Ultra HD."

There are plenty of games to enjoy if you're a Star Wars fan, including Star Wars Jedi Knight — Jedi Academy, Star Wars Jedi Knight II — Jedi Outcast, and Star Wars Republic Commando.

Other games available for free as part of Amazon Prime Day include...

As the name suggests, Prime Day is exclusive to Prime members. The membership scheme unlocks a number of benefits, including early access to discounts on Amazon UK, free next-day shipping on

thousands of items, exclusive boxsets and movies from Prime Video, streaming of thousands of tracks from Amazon Music, unlimited cloud storage to back-up photos from your smartphone or

tablet, and more. Amazon Prime usually costs £79 per year, or £7.99 per month.

Amazon offers a 30-day free trial for its Prime membership so you can test out the benefits for yourself. If you don't cancel within the 30 day trial period, Amazon will charge you for a

full membership plan. However, it's possible to cancel as soon as you've agreed to the trial, so there's no excuse to be charged if you only want a Prime membership for Prime Day.

And don't worry if you've taken out a Prime free trial in the past. Amazon will allow customers to take advantage of the free trial offer every 12 months of so. If you've previously trialled

an Amazon Prime membership, it's worth checking again as you might be able to take advantage of the free membership in time for Prime Day.

In addition to free games and exclusive Prime Day discounts, a Prime membership nets customers same-day and next-day delivery, as well as Amazon's Prime Video streaming platform.

Prime Reading unlocks thousands of eBooks for Kindle owners, while Prime Music is Amazon's answer to Spotify and Apple Music.

Then there are lesser-known benefits like Deliveroo Plus and photo back-up services.
