Meanwhile, Star Wars fans got not one, not two, but three games: Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, and Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter. Only one of these Star Wars games is free though, and that is Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.
The Star Wars game is specifically free via Prime Gaming, as part of its December lineup. This means an Amazon Prime subscription is required to access the free download, and the codes are limited to PC, this time via GOG. That said, this is a limited time offer, as is every game being made free as part of the December lineup.
Normally, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter costs $19.99 to buy on modern platforms. For those unfamiliar with the game, it was released back in 2002 by LucasArts. At the time of its release, it was exclusive to PS2, though it ended up coming to Nintendo GameCube in the same year.
It is not this version that is free with Prime Gaming though, but the “enhanced” version released by Aspyr Media back in August of this year that brings the classic closer to modernity.
“In this classic third-person action-adventure, you’ll become Jango Fett, Prime Clone of the Grand Army of the Republic, hired to capture a deranged Dark Jedi,” reads an official description of the game for those unfamiliar with it. “Experience the legendary Bounty Hunter fantasy set before the events of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Face off against foes and maneuver through acrobatic battles in this adaption optimized for today’s consoles and hardware. Fight your way through the galaxy’s underbelly, equipped with Dual Blasters, your Flamethrower, Whipcord, and pure Mandalorian Rage.”
