Get Ready for a Free Retro Gaming Treat: Super Meat Boy
A Blast from the Past Now Available for Free on Prime Gaming
In a move that brings back memories of the golden age of indie games, a beloved Xbox 360 title has become free to download and own. Before the indie revolution took the gaming world by storm, Xbox was already breaking ground with its Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) service. Launched on the original Xbox and Xbox 360, XBLA was home to some of the most iconic indie Xbox games, including Shadow Complex, Castle Crashers, Geometry Wars, State of Decay, and Splosion Man.
A Free Gift for Prime Members: Super Meat Boy
As part of a limited-time promotion, the cult classic Super Meat Boy is now available for free on Prime Gaming. This throwback platformer, initially released in 2010 for Xbox 360, received widespread critical acclaim with a 90/100 aggregate score on Metacritic. Its massive success led to ports on various platforms, including PS4, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and PC. A sequel, Super Meat Boy Forever, was released in 2020, although it didn't quite live up to the original's reputation.
