November 2021 has now concluded and December has arrived, bringing with it many of the biggest holidays of the year. It has also brought a new round of free games offered to subscribers of Amazon Prime, via Twitch. Like recent months, in addition to the five Prime Gaming free games that subscribers have come to expect, additional games have been added in partnership with GOG.com and Electronic Arts' Origin platform. This brings the total to eight free Prime Gaming games for December 2021.

To start, Amazon has partnered with EA to offer another free game via its Origin PC storefront for December. The free game for December 2021 will be Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was originally released in 2010, and was then remastered for re-release in 2020. The remastered version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit added cross-play for multiplayer, as well as some new car DLC. Twitch users have to redeem the game through Origin, otherwise any claimed game code will expire at the end of December.

Similar to how Amazon partnered with EA, it has also partnered with GOG.com. CD Projekt's PC gaming storefront is offering two free games through Prime Gaming in December. Those games are Frostpunk, the post-apocalyptic strategy game, as well as the third-person action game Journey to the Savage Planet. Both games have to be redeemed through GOG or they'll expire at the end of the month. Note that once redeemed, both games can be downloaded DRM-free.

That leaves five additional free games available through Twitch's own game service. Those games include Morkredd, Spellcaster University, YouTubers Life, Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse, as well as Tales of Monkey Island, which has been split up into its five separate chapters. These can all be claimed directly from Twitch, with no need to redeem them on another storefront.

As ever, Prime Gaming will have plenty more to offer Twitch users through the month of December beyond these free games. Bonuses and cosmetics for games including League of Legends: Wild Rift, Dead by Daylight, and Apex Legends are being added this month, and as always there's a free monthly sub available for a subscribers' favorite Twitch channel, too.

It's an overall decent month for Twitch subscribers, as eight free games to unlock and a variety of new cosmetics join the standard Amazon Prime shipping benefits. Gamers can expect to hear more about December's Prime Gaming bonuses in the coming weeks.
