Amazon's highly anticipated MMORPG New World has officially been released, and Amazon is offering some goodies via Prime Gaming. Prime Gaming is a service provided by Amazon that gives players in-game content for several popular games. The service is included with an Amazon Prime membership and also grants a free monthly channel subscription on Twitch. In New World's case, Prime Gaming will present players with a variety of free, exclusive items that will be obtainable for a limited time.
The first round of items that are available for New World players is two Pirate Packs. Players can claim the first pack from September 28 until November 1. The second Pirate Pack will become claimable from October 12 until November 1. Amazon will likely continue to offer new items in the future.
To get the Prime Gaming Pirate Loot and DLC in New World, players first need to have a subscription to Amazon's Prime Gaming service. Amazon offers a 30-day free trial for new subscribers. Afterward, users will need to pay a monthly fee of $12.99 (USD). Prime Gaming is also included with a regular Amazon Prime subscription. Those subscribed to Prime Gaming can enjoy perks such as free in-game content and DLC for popular titles such as Valorant, Genshin Impact, and Apex Legends. These benefits also extend to New World's Pirate Loot and DLC, which can only be obtained after players become Prime Gaming subscribers.

The unique Pirate Loot and DLC is an excellent bonus for New World players who wish to roleplay as seafaring buccaneers. Here is a quick list of items that will be offered for each Pirate Loot Pack in New World.
First Pirate Pack (September 28 – November 1)
