How to Get Twitch Prime Account for Free

Twitch Prime is a paid version of Twitch , which gives users a free channel subscription every month, access to free game downloads and in-game loot, and more.

If you have Amazon Prime (or a Prime Video membership), you already get Twitch Prime for free. It's just a matter of connecting your Twitch account to your Amazon account.

If you don't have either kind of Amazon membership, you'll have to sign up for one to access Twitch Prime.

Here's how to sign up for Twitch Prime, whether you have Amazon Prime or not. You can do this using any internet browser on your Mac or PC.
