Marvel’s Midnight Suns is now up for grabs, free to claim and keep forever, thanks to Amazon Prime’s epic Prime Day celebrations. This superhero RTS game, developed by Firaxis, marks an exciting addition to Amazon’s Prime Gaming offerings.
Included with your Amazon Prime subscription, Prime Gaming allows members to snag a selection of PC games each month, making it a game-changer for budget-conscious gamers. July’s lineup also features the critically acclaimed title Venba, ensuring players have plenty to dive into.
In a notable twist, Prime Gaming’s model shines compared to rivals like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass, which only provide access to games as long as you’re subscribed. With Prime Gaming, you’re redeeming codes that let you keep the games on other platforms.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns was well-received by critics, but it quickly became apparent that all versions were heavily discounted within a month of launch—a result of disappointing sales numbers. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick suggested in 2023 that “it’s possible the release window wasn’t perfect,” but he remains optimistic that Midnight Suns could flourish long-term, following the trend of other Firaxis titles.
Adding to the drama, it was revealed that Jake Solomon, the director behind Midnight Suns and the iconic XCOM franchise, is leaving Firaxis after 20 years as part of a significant studio shake-up. This change leaves many wondering what the future holds for both the studio and its beloved titles.
