Rumor has it that Amazon is developing its own product NFT marketplace, but you don’t have to wait for it: the retail giant is already playing in the NFT space through its Prime Gaming Portaland best of all, so are the NFTs completely free for subscribers to claim.
If you pay for an Amazon Prime subscription, there is already a selection of free NFTs that you can claim and use in current blockchain games. Whether they’re playable characters or special outfits and skins, these freebies are worth grabbing. Amazon has now handed out NFTs in multiple games, including Mojo Melee and Blankos Block Party.
And with one an estimated 170 million Prime subscribers, that’s a lot of potential NFTs to hold. Here’s a look at the gaming NFTs currently available at the time of writing. We’ll update this story regularly to alert you to the latest things you can claim.

To be clear, My Pet Hooligan is a game that supports NFTs, but the Amazon promotion is for in-game items that are not tokenized as NFTs. AMGI Studios Chief Creative Officer Colin Brady shared Declutter that the current alpha version of the game on the Epic Games Store does not support NFTs, but the team is working on a version of the game that can support NFTs via third-party gaming platforms.
My Pet Hooligan rivals Fortnite with its vibrant Battle Royale combat
Anyway, My Pet Hooligan is a promising shooter with Web3 hooks, and Amazon Prime Gaming is giving away free in-game items (again:no NFTs) for subscribers. Currently, subscribers can claim a free Max’s Outfit Pack, which includes a hoodie, jeans, headphones and sneakers for the character.
AMGI said it has signed a 12-month deal with Amazon Prime Gaming for these types of promotions, so we’ll see if the drop format evolves in the coming months as the still-early game continues to take shape.
What is Amazon Prime Gaming?
Amazon Prime Gaming is one of the many offers available to subscribers of Amazon’s Prime membership service. Broadly speaking, Prime Gaming offers exclusive benefits to Prime users, whether it’s free in-game content or completely free games that users can download and keep.
