March Twitch Freebies Games And Drops Available To Prime Members And Viewers

Twitch, the popular streaming platform owned by Amazon, offers various freebies to its users through different programs. For those seeking free entertainment options, Twitch provides opportunities to obtain free PC games through its Prime membership program and in-game items through its Twitch Drops initiative. This article explores the types of freebies available through Twitch in March across different years, focusing on the Free Games with Prime program and Twitch Drops events.

Twitch Prime Free Games with Prime Program

Twitch Prime, which is included with Amazon Prime membership, offers a selection of free PC games each month. The Free Games with Prime program provides subscribers with games that they can keep permanently. In March 2018, Twitch Prime members could claim several notable games at no additional cost. The available titles included:

• Superhot
• Shadow Tactics
• Tales from Candlekeep
• Oxenfree
• Mr. Shifty

These games represented a diverse range of genres, from the innovative first-person shooter Superhot to the narrative-driven adventure Oxenfree. The program continued in April 2018 with another selection of five games:

• Tales from the Borderlands
• SteamWorld Dig 2
• Kingsway
• Tokyo 42
• Dubwars

The Free Games with Prime program requires participants to download and install the official Twitch games installer app to claim their games. The games become available for redemption on specific dates each month and remain available for a limited time. Once claimed, the games are added to the user's library and can be played indefinitely.

Twitch Prime membership is automatically included with Amazon Prime subscription, which costs $99 annually or $12.99 monthly. This makes the free games an additional benefit for those already using Amazon Prime services, complementing other perks such as free two-day shipping, access to Prime Video streaming content, and other Amazon benefits.

Twitch Drops Events

In addition to the monthly free games available to Prime members, Twitch hosts periodic Twitch Drops events. These events allow viewers to earn in-game rewards by watching participating streamers during specified timeframes. Unlike the Free Games with Prime program, Twitch Drops are available to all Twitch users, not just Prime members.

For March 2025, several Twitch Drops events were announced. Conan Exiles, a survival game, scheduled a Twitch Drop event running from March 25 through April 9, offering a Blood Crystal Katana as a reward. Another event, for the FPS game Fragpunk, ran until March 20, 2025, at 1am PST / 4am EST / 8am GMT, offering four new items including an exclusive weapon skin.

To participate in Twitch Drops, viewers must link their gaming platform accounts (such as Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, or GOG) to their Twitch accounts. Once linked, viewers can watch participating streamers who have Drops enabled during the specified event period. After accumulating the required watch time, rewards are automatically granted to the viewer's account.

Historical March Freebies

The availability of free games through Twitch has varied across different years. In March 2019, Twitch Prime offered different titles compared to the 2018 selection. The free games available during that period included:

• Snake Pass
• Kabounce
• King's Bird
• Star Vikings Forever

Community feedback on these offerings was mixed, with some users expressing disappointment while others found games they were interested in trying. This pattern of varying reception has continued across different months and years, with the quality and appeal of free games depending on individual preferences and gaming interests.

The process for accessing these free games has remained consistent, though the user interface for claiming them has evolved. As noted in one forum discussion, the Twitch Prime page doesn't explicitly list free games for each month. Instead, users must load the normal Twitch.com website, click the Prime Loot crown icon in the top right corner, and scroll to the very bottom of that menu to see the available free games.

Conclusion

Twitch offers multiple avenues for users to obtain free games and in-game content through its Free Games with Prime program and Twitch Drops events. The Free Games with Prime program provides monthly PC game selections to Amazon Prime members, while Twitch Drops events offer in-game rewards to viewers who watch participating streamers during specified periods.

In March specifically, users could access various freebies across different years, from the 2018 offerings like Superhot and Oxenfree to the 2019 selection including Snake Pass and Kabounce, and the 2025 Twitch Drops events for games like Conan Exiles and Fragpunk. To take advantage of these offers, users must follow specific claiming processes and, in some cases, link their gaming platform accounts to Twitch.

While the specific titles and timing of these freebies may vary, the underlying programs remain consistent opportunities for gamers to expand their libraries at no cost. As Twitch continues to evolve its offerings, users can expect future freebies across a range of genres and platforms.
