In a significant move for PC gamers, a beloved title from the 2010s has been made available at no cost for a limited time. This opportunity is exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers through Prime Gaming, with codes distributed via GOG. The offer remains open until July 1, providing a generous timeframe for interested players to seize the chance. Once the game is redeemed, it becomes a permanent addition to the user’s library, allowing gamers to enjoy it indefinitely without the need for an active subscription.
Claim Your Game
From now until July 1, Amazon Prime members with a GOG account can claim XCOM: Enemy Unknown, a turn-based tactics game developed by 2K Games and Firaxis Games, originally released in 2012. This title is a modern reimagining of the 1994 classic UFO: Enemy Unknown and is often hailed as one of the finest strategy games ever created. Its acclaim is reflected in a Metacritic score of 91, a PC Game of the Year award at The Game Awards, and multiple nominations and wins at the D.I.C.E. Awards, including a Game of the Year nomination. The game’s legacy continued with the release of its sequel, XCOM 2, in 2016, though many still regard Enemy Unknown as the pinnacle of the series, standing strong even after 14 years.
A Lot of Content for Free
Players who take advantage of this offer can expect a substantial time commitment. Completing the main storyline of XCOM: Enemy Unknown typically requires around 30 hours, while completionists may invest up to 70 hours to experience everything the game has to offer. The game also boasts impressive replayability, potentially extending playtime even further.
As of now, there are no announcements regarding the development of XCOM 3, leaving XCOM: Enemy Unknown as the definitive experience in the franchise for the foreseeable future. Moreover, Amazon Prime is offering the “Complete Pack” version of the game, which includes the highly regarded XCOM: Enemy Within expansion along with all previously released add-on content.
