🎮 Multi-platformAmazon Prime Members Get 12 Games For Free In July
The next batch of games for Amazon Luna has been revealed, and this July, you can look forward to superhero workplace drama, turn-based RPG action, and some escape room fun. In total, there will be 12 downloadable games for PC to check out, and five games to stream through Luna Standard. On the streaming side, the big draw for this month is Dispatch. One of the best games of 2025(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/gamespots-10-best-games-of-2025/2900-7322/), the debut title from AdHoc Studio follows a down-on-his-luck superhero who takes up a desk job, where he's given control over superhuman resources. Similar to Telltale's classic games, Dispatch is a narrative-heavy experience where you're frequently tasked with making choices across branching dialogue paths, and then dealing with the consequences down the line. Other games being added to the Luna Standard streaming library this month include Sonic Mania Plus, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, YouTuber's Life, and Arcade Paradise(https://www.gamespot.com/games/arcade-paradise/). Right now, PC gamers can grab downloads for CyClones, LoneStar, and Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga, and each week in July will see more games made available. As a reminder, all of the free games that you claim through Amazon Luna are yours to keep forever, even if your subscription expires.

🖥 PlayStation, PC, Multi-platformFormer PlayStation Exec Is Less Than Impressed With Steam Machine
The Steam Machine is slowly making its way into the wild, with some folks getting their hands on Valve's not-a-console console(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-machine-is-not-a-console-valve-says/). One of those people is former SIE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, who called the device "meh" in some recent social media comments. Yoshida took to X on July 2(https://x.com/yosp/status/2072582164898787363) to give his early impressions of the Steam Machine. In a long post, he not only called its performance "meh," but he also said that it's "hard to recommend" because of its high price tag. https://twitter.com/yosp/status/2072582164898787363 "The system recommends to default to 1080p--am I going back to PS4 days?" Yoshida pondered. "Some games take a looooooong time to boot. What is it doing?" He clarified that he'd only been playing it for "a few hours"--he posted his thoughts in the early morning on July 2--but ultimately concluded that the device just doesn't live up to its $1,000+ retail price(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-internet-has-some-thoughts-on-the-steam-machines-1000-price/). It's not all bad for Yoshida, though. He did say(https://x.com/yosp/status/2072582535847313898) that the Steam Machine's "small form factor and quietness" are good while commending the device's changeable faceplate, easy-to-use UI, and the ability to play Steam games on the living room TV. That last fact alone makes it "reason enough" to keep the Steam Machine, but these features appear to be where the positives end for now, as overall, Yoshida just isn't quite buying what Valve is selling. The Steam Machine has begun shipping out to folks following its June 29 launch. It's very possible, though, that you may have to wait a while for yours, especially considering how confusing the preorder emails Valve started sending out were(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-machine-preorder-emails-are-super-confusing/). You could always check out eBay, but be warned: You'll likely pay double the price(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-machine-preorders-are-about-to-begin-so-of-course-theyre-already-on-ebay/).
