A pair of Baldur’s Gate games are now free to own in a promotion that will last until early 2025. This past year, the long-running RPG series got a massive boost in popularity thanks to the release of Baldur’s Gate 3. The latest entry didn’t only appease those who had been playing the series for decades, but it also proved to be a fantastic entry point for new audiences as well. Now, for those who may have fallen in love with BG3 and have been interested in the roots of the series, the first two installments can now be snagged for nothing at all.

Starting today, both Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition can be obtained for free on Prime Gaming. This deal requires users to have an active subscription to Amazon Prime, but those who do will then be given a code at no cost for either game that can be redeemed on GOG. While both BG and BG2 originally launched in the late 1990s and early 2000s, these versions are the Enhanced remasters which have come about more within the past decade. As such, these are likely the best editions of either game that can be played on current platforms.

Outside of Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate 2, another game tied to the Dungeons & Dragons property also happens to be available on Prime Gaming at this same time. That title is Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition. While it’s not a Baldur’s Gate entry, Neverwinter Nights is another game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe that was developed by the same team at BioWare in 2002. If you’re interested in Baldur’s Gate, there’s a good chance you’ll also like to check out Neverwinter Nights, so pick it up while it’s free as well.
For all three of these free games, they’ll be available to pick up from today until next month on January 8th. To learn more about the Baldur’s Gate games included, you can find details and trailers for each as follows:
