Prime Gaming delivers a spook-tacular month for October 2024

Prime Gaming’s monthly list of drops has finally arrived, and it’s loaded with big games for PC players to dig into this Halloween month.

Things that go bump on the PC

Why did Prime Gaming’s October 2024 calendar drop so late into the month? Well, we actually have no idea, but we’re not going to complain, since the list is loaded with some pretty big time free PC games for members to grab.

Those titles run the gamut from DOOM Eternal, Scorn, and Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed to Vlad Circus, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and Killing Floor 2. So there’s a nice little mix of older titles and some newer ones too, with almost all of the above following nicely along with the theme of the month.

That’d be Halloween, by the way.
