How To Get Free ‘Valorant’ Skins With Prime Gaming

Twitch Prime will give you free cosmetics.

Riot Games has announced a new partnership with Amazon that will see in-game items for Valorant, potentially including skins, given away free for anyone with Twitch or Amazon Prime.

The first round of Prime Gaming cosmetics for Valorant will launch on September 16, which is next week, and will include the Netter Treter gun buddy, which is from the Killjoy collection.

Anyone with a Prime Gaming subscription will be able to get the free in-game items, all you have to do is head to the Twitch Prime loot page on Twitch, and select the free Valorant loot when it is available. If you haven’t already you will then be prompted to link your Twitch and Valorant accounts to each other, and once that is done you will be able to claim the free loot and it will be added to your in-game account.

The current deal with Amazon Prime Gaming seems to be a rolling monthly release, with new cosmetics being released exclusively on Prime Gaming every month. This means that you will be able to kit out your weapons for free if you have a Prime Gaming subscription, however, you will need to check in every month and claim the free rewards to have them added to your account.

Riot said that items will include things such as gun buddies and sprays, but that more items are coming in the future, so it would not be a surprise to see that extended to skins. We could even see a Twitch Prime themed skin as many other games have done with similar promotions.

Annoyingly for Valorant fans who do not have a Prime Gaming subscription they will not be able to get their hands on these items. They will only be released via the Twitch Prime loot section and will not be available any other way. With no trading feature in Valorant, this means Prime Gaming really is the only way to get them.

Deals like this with Twitch Prime and the wider Amazon Prime ecosystem have become pretty common over recent years, and have been a great way for free to play games to boost their player base with the promise of exclusive free items. It does come as a bit of a surprise right now, as Valorant is doing very well, and its cosmetic system is still very young and every single cosmetic is still highly sought after, due to few being given away for free.

Will PUBG remain forever banned in India?

Ever since the government took down Chinese apps, comprising the much beloved PUBG over security reasons, the multiplayer game's fans have been wondering if the biggest video game in India will ever make a comeback. The Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) had on September 2 banned 59 more apps including PUBG, in addition to 165 mobile applications banned on two occasions earlier. The ministry in a stern notice said that the said apps were banned in the view of the "emergent nature of threats" as they were engaged in activities which were "prejudicial" to sovereignty, defence and security of the country.

GAME ON: Protect allies and find killers in whodunit game ‘Among Us’

Flying under the radar since 2018, the social-deduction party game "Among Us" has suddenly seen a surge of interest from video game streamers. In the months after its release, "Among Us" never had more than 50 simultaneous players. Thanks to a dedicated developer team pushing out updates, the game started to see serious traction recently, and in the past month, its peak concurrent users topped 1.5 million. That's a pretty amazing feat for a 2-year-old, extremely inexpensive game. If you've ever played party games such as Werewolf or Mafia (or sometimes called Vampire) with friends, then you have the gist of what "Among Us" is about. The game features a group of four to 10 players in a space-theme setting. Each game, one to three players are "Impostors" and the rest are "Crewmates." It's the Impostors' job to stealthily kill Crewmates, and the Crewmates' job to identify and eliminate the Imposters hiding among them....
