Amazon gives numbers on Prime Gaming’s growth over two years

Today is the beginning of Prime Day 2022, Amazon’s yearly sale — which, conversely, lasts longer than a day. To mark the occasion, Amazon shared with GamesBeat some numbers on the growth of Prime Gaming in the two years it has existed.

Amazon launched Prime Gaming — or rather, relaunched the Twitch Prime service as Prime Gaming — in 2020. The company claims the number of Prime members who use Prime Gaming has grown by more than 120% over the last two years. One of the hallmarks of the service is the monthly offering of free games and in-game items for subscribers. According to Amazon, Prime members claimed more than 420 million offers and 80 million free games in 2021 alone.
