Steelrising, Airship Kingdoms Adrift, Havendock and More Are Joining Amazon's August Free Games Lineup

The latest lineup is particularly interesting because it includes Steelrising, a Soulslike action RPG set during an alternate French Revolution, alongside strategy, simulation, puzzle and adventure games.

The games are being released in several waves rather than all arriving on the same day.

Five titles are already available, while the remaining four will be added on August 20 and August 27.

Here's the complete August 2026 lineup and everything Prime members need to know.

Amazon Prime Gaming August 2026 Free Games

Amazon is offering nine PC games to Prime members during August.

The complete lineup is:

Game	Available	Platform
Right and Down	August 6	GOG
Hiveswap Friendsim	August 6	GOG
Pyramids and Aliens: Escape Room	August 13	GOG
Airship: Kingdoms Adrift	August 13	Epic Games Store
Steelrising	August 13	Epic Games Store
Royal Romances: Forbidden Magic	August 20	Legacy Games
Spray Paint Simulator	August 20	Amazon Games App
Havendock	August 27	Amazon Games App
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos	August 27	Epic Games Store

Five of the nine games are already claimable as of August 15.

Steelrising Is the Biggest August Addition

The standout game in this month's selection is Steelrising.

Developed by Spiders, Steelrising is an action RPG that takes players into an alternate version of the French Revolution.

Instead of fighting ordinary soldiers, players face an army of deadly mechanical machines.

The game combines Soulslike-inspired combat with exploration, character progression and a unique historical fantasy setting.

Steelrising became available through the Epic Games Store on August 13.

For Prime members who have never played it, this is arguably the most substantial game in the current lineup.

Airship: Kingdoms Adrift Brings Strategy and Exploration

Another notable addition is Airship: Kingdoms Adrift.

The game takes a completely different approach from Steelrising.

Instead of controlling a single warrior, players manage an airship and explore a world filled with floating islands and competing factions.

The gameplay combines:

Strategy
Trading
Exploration
Resource management
Airship customization
Combat

Airship: Kingdoms Adrift became available through the Epic Games Store on August 13.

Pyramids and Aliens: Escape Room Is Available Now

For players who prefer puzzle games, Pyramids and Aliens: Escape Room is another August addition.

The game focuses on solving puzzles and escaping dangerous environments.

It arrived on August 13 through GOG.

This makes it a good alternative for players who don't want another action-heavy game.

Right and Down Is Already Available

Right and Down was one of the first games added to the August lineup.

It arrived on August 6 through GOG.

The title combines card-game mechanics with dungeon-crawling elements, creating a compact experience that can be played in shorter sessions.

Prime members can already claim it.

Hiveswap Friendsim Joins the August Lineup

Hiveswap Friendsim is another game that became available on August 6.

It is being distributed through GOG.

The title is connected to the Hiveswap/Homestuck universe and focuses heavily on character interactions and story-driven gameplay.

It gives this month's lineup another option for players who prefer narrative experiences over combat.

Royal Romances: Forbidden Magic Arrives August 20

The next wave begins on August 20.

Royal Romances: Forbidden Magic is scheduled to become available through Legacy Games.

The title adds a more casual fantasy adventure experience to the month's selection.

Prime members who enjoy story-driven fantasy games can look forward to this one when the second wave arrives.

Spray Paint Simulator Arrives August 20

Also coming on August 20 is Spray Paint Simulator.

As the name suggests, the game is built around painting and restoration jobs.

Instead of fighting enemies or managing an empire, players take on different projects and transform dirty or damaged environments with spray-painting tools.

The game will be available through the Amazon Games App.

Havendock Comes on August 27

The August lineup continues on August 27 with Havendock.

Havendock is a survival and settlement-management game set on the ocean.

Players build a floating community, gather resources and expand their settlement while trying to survive at sea.

It offers a slower experience compared with Steelrising and Clash: Artifacts of Chaos.

Havendock will arrive through the Amazon Games App.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos Is the Final Addition

The final game scheduled for August is Clash: Artifacts of Chaos.

It arrives on August 27 through the Epic Games Store.

The game combines action-adventure gameplay with martial arts and strange fantasy environments.

It is one of the more combat-focused games in the later August wave.

Five Games Are Available Right Now

If you're an Amazon Prime member, you don't have to wait for the rest of the month.

As of August 15, these five games are already available:

Right and Down
Hiveswap Friendsim
Pyramids and Aliens: Escape Room
Airship: Kingdoms Adrift
Steelrising

The remaining four arrive over the next two weeks.

More Free Games Are Coming on August 20

Two additional games are scheduled for August 20:

Royal Romances: Forbidden Magic

and

Spray Paint Simulator

This second wave gives Prime members another reason to check the gaming section later this week.

The Final Two Games Arrive August 27

The final August drop arrives on August 27.

It includes:

Havendock

and

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos

This means Prime members have several opportunities throughout the month rather than receiving all nine games simultaneously.

Do You Keep the Games After Claiming Them?

Yes, the important difference with these Prime Gaming offers is that the games are generally provided as redeemable PC titles, rather than simply being available for streaming while your subscription remains active.

Depending on the game, redemption takes place through GOG, Epic Games Store, Amazon Games App or another participating platform. Once claimed, the game is generally added to the relevant account library.

You Won't Get Steam Keys for Every Game

One thing Prime members should know before claiming these games is that Steam isn't the main redemption platform for this month's lineup.

The August games are distributed across several services.

For example:

GOG handles Right and Down
GOG handles Hiveswap Friendsim
GOG handles Pyramids and Aliens: Escape Room
Epic Games Store handles Airship: Kingdoms Adrift
Epic Games Store handles Steelrising
Amazon Games App handles Spray Paint Simulator
Amazon Games App handles Havendock

This means you should check which launcher is required before claiming each title.

Which August Prime Gaming Game Should You Claim First?

If you only have time to try a few games, Steelrising is the obvious starting point for action-RPG fans.

Its combination of Soulslike combat and alternate-history storytelling gives it more depth than a typical small indie giveaway.

Airship: Kingdoms Adrift is another good choice for strategy fans.

Meanwhile, Havendock should appeal to players who prefer relaxed survival and settlement management.

Puzzle fans can try Pyramids and Aliens: Escape Room, while players looking for something unusual can check out Spray Paint Simulator.

Why This Month's Lineup Is Interesting

The biggest strength of August's lineup is variety.

Instead of focusing on one genre, Amazon is offering games across several categories.

You get:

Action RPGs
Strategy games
Puzzle games
Adventure games
Simulation games
Survival games
Narrative games

That gives different types of PC players something to try without requiring another purchase.

How to Claim the Free Games

The process is straightforward.

First, make sure you have an active Amazon Prime membership.

Then open the Prime Gaming/Luna gaming section and look through the August offers.

Choose the game you want and follow the redemption instructions.

Depending on the title, you'll receive access through GOG, Epic Games Store, Amazon Games App or another supported platform.

Make sure you claim each game before its individual offer expires.

Don't Wait Until the End of August

The nine games aren't all being released simultaneously.

That means players should check the service regularly throughout the month.

Some games are already available, while others won't arrive until August 20 or August 27.

If you wait until the end of the month, you could potentially miss an earlier offer.

Amazon's August 2026 Prime Gaming lineup is now fully revealed, bringing nine PC games to Prime members throughout the month.

The biggest highlight is Steelrising, but the lineup offers much more than one action RPG.

Airship: Kingdoms Adrift brings strategy and airship management, Pyramids and Aliens: Escape Room focuses on puzzles, Havendock offers survival and settlement building, while Clash: Artifacts of Chaos delivers another combat-focused experience.

Five games are already available, with two more arriving on August 20 and the final two scheduled for August 27.

For existing Prime subscribers, there's little reason not to claim the games that interest you.

Just remember to check the required launcher before claiming each title and don't wait until the end of the month.
