A recent video by Matty Love Gaming raised concerns about the status of the partnership between Amazon and Riot Games for Prime Gaming capsules. Here’s what we know about the situation:
“In the long term, we’re still figuring out whether something’s possible and if so what it might look like (though it’s unlikely to be the same as the 2022 version). We’ll share the new details with you as soon as we’ve got something concrete.” - RiotMeddler
“That’s one of those things we can’t really talk about except in fairly vague terms unfortunately. A lot of it though is about trying to figure out what creates the best overall package that leaves both parties as happy as possible (since the ideal scenario is a long running partnership both organisations feel good about).” - RiotMeddler
- The video by Matty Love Gaming showed a dialogue with an Amazon customer service assistant, stating that the Prime Gaming deal with Riot Games was only for 2022.
- RiotMeddler, a Riot Games developer, confirmed that the original partnership with Amazon was indeed only for 2022.
- However, Riot Games has been in talks with Amazon for a potential 2023 version of the partnership.
- In the short term, Riot Games announced a February capsule drop that is identical to last year’s, while they continue to figure out a possible 2023 version of the partnership.
- RiotMeddler mentioned that it's unlikely to be the same as the 2022 version, and they will share the new details with the community as soon as they have something concrete.
